41: Club Penguin Metabirkins (ft. Allison Mills)

Elon Musk is buying Twitter (or not?). Club Penguin is relevant again (or not?). Most importantly, audio editor extraordinaire/author/archivist Allison Mills joins us to talk about Birkin bags, appropriated blockchain-based Birkin bags, and appropriated-appropriated Birkin bags. Also, Isabel gets cancelled.  Libro.fm: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=25361&awinaffid=1001477&ued=https%3A%2F%2Flibro.fm%2Fmembership%3Fmp%3DWOW (…or just enter promo code WOW to start a monthly subscription with two books for the price of one!)
