How Could You Forget: The Art of the AIDS Crisis

It's Pride Month, and this episode is a little bit more serious than the last one, if you couldn't tell by the title alone. This episode wasn't recommended by any one person, but it was very important for multiple people in the community as well as the podcast themselves to talk about. The history of this crisis is brushed under the rug too much, and we're trying to bring just a bit more attention to it. If you'd like to have your topic or suggestion possibly made into an episode comment on YouTube or tweet at grdn on Twitter and we'll take a look at your suggestions! If you want to play along with How Could You Forget who said that, or How Could You Forget that Tune? or have recommendations to stump our hosts you can also comment down below. ALSO! If you are interested, these episodes and all future episodes are on audio formats (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.) so be sure to give us 5 stars wherever you listen to this podcast because it really helps us out. Here's to many more episodes this year and fun times had for all. And until next time, let's blow this popsicle stand.
