Loved the mention of Morning Glory Milking Farm - discovering (and buying) the audiobook was a guilty indulgence 🤭
It is very much a book that feels like a game.
Great interview! I've always found the variety of flavors and characters that are attractive to different people interesting. I don't think I have any hear-me-outs that are out there enough to really count, but I love seeing other people's picks. Like I know someone who insists that EDI from Mass Effect was much hotter as a disembodied voice before she got a body.
It was interesting to see how varied the response was.
This podcast is super interesting and puts words to thoughts rolling around in the back of my mind since forever. Thanks for putting it together, Annie! Really cool to get Mom in on this too, it's a rare treat. And Dr. Guajardo, I could listen to you talk about hand jobs for at least another hour. P.S. Don't think I didn't notice your editing Annie, it's top notch! P.P.S. Most video conferencing apps mirror your own feed to yourself, the ones that don't can be very disorienting! We're just so used to seeing ourselves in the mirror, and other people not (though we do get the occasional "MY left, not YOUR left" confusion).
Glad you liked it!
Excellent episode, Annie! Very thought provoking.
Thanks!
