Tune in as Pride Month stays strong on 2CC!

Schwab that embarks on a centuries-wide journey sprouting out of a Faustian bargain for immortality, albeit the sort where nobody is able to remember you. Addie’s central relationships with Henry and Luc, the ins and outs of how her immortality operates in this world, and worries about the upcoming film adaptation comprise a few of the subjects that the hosts cover on this episode.
