Chatz: A Television Podcast

Early episode content warning for a brief mention of self-harm previously attempted by a main character, but no in-depth discussion of it. It is in the first fifteen minutes if you would like to skip.What is Twin Peaks anymore, folks? Is it a good show? A generic soap opera? A seething fresco perhaps? Well one thing's for sure, we watched some episodes this week, and we're splitting the releases once again because our second discussion went so long. So expect another fun ep on Wednesday!PatreonTwitterRedditTwitchEmail: chatzpod@gmail.comOur main podcast feed art was done by Camilla Franklin, whose work can be found at https://camillafranklin.myportfolio.com/
