#63 From Smash Bros to the Death of Movies (Pt. 2)
Bu podcast hakkında
Welcome to So I Was Told, the anti-podcast podcast where culture meets candor. Join us as we dive into social politics, mental health, and the messy realities of deconstructing harmful social constructs. From lighthearted banter to tackling the heavy stuff, we keep it real, raw, and refreshingly unfiltered.
Expect a bit of chaos, the occasional NSFW topic, and some colorful language along the way. Whether we're dissecting societal norms or just calling out the nonsense, this is your space for honest conversations and unapologetic truths.
Tune in, get uncomfortable, and maybe learn a thing or two! You might even laugh along the way.
