Part Four

This episode has it all: poor mental health, burnout, bad sound quality with a can-do attitude. We also talk a little bit about wrestling too, specifically our trip to see Eve's Wrestlequeendom 2 and our thoughts on Session Goth Martina, Charlie Morgan's farewell, and our introduction to Stardom. But mostly we talk about a very relatable subject: when you are too depressed to watch wrestling, with some additional rants about capitalism, chats about internalised misogyny, and Gentleman Jack.

Content warnings for talk about the diet industry and fatphobia as we absolutely tear down the abhorrent current Cancer Research fat shaming ads. I swear this is a wrestling podcast.

Episode 6 - Too depressed for wrestling
