On this episode, Maya, Dylan, and Ian are joined by Zeroan to talk about themes in general—they're not just for 8th-grade book reports! What are some themes we like to engage with, both in works we create and media we enjoy? What are some themes we dislike, if any?
You can find Zeroan's works here on Archive of Our Own (we particularly recommend the Wifeses 'verse!)

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
