The Terrible Terror Podcast Brian Kindle Do you like horror movies? Do you like the bad, the good and the downright ugly horror movies? The ones that either make you giggle in delight or so mad that you smile with delight? Well, then this is the podcast for you! Hi, I'm Brian and I love all types of horror films. From the ones that are cinematic masterpieces, to those that will make your blood boil and curl. Whether the movie is so unwatchable or so loved, I will give my honest opinion and review of the film with clips of the movie mixed in to help tell the story. This isn't your standard film review pod. Let me engross you in the story of the film and make you feel that you're watching the movie along side me. I may also get really animated during the process. So, if you're looking for a B-Movie version of a film review podcast, look no further than the Terrible Terror Podcast! Part of the Slightly Irregular Podcast Network. Explicit Tea Total Tea Total Tea-Total: How do you like it? Hosted by four women of colour, we wanted to create a podcast steeped with knowledge, that brews discussion, and tastes different.We want to delve into our personal relationships with tea as well as the rich history and culture surrounding the beverage across the globe throughout the millennia.Armed with tea related puns and an open mind, we are able to cover every topic imaginable from relationships to colonial history. We truly believe a good cuppa is a is a vehicle for change and something that unites us all. Explicit The Sagely Stage Stooges The Sagely Sage Stooges The Sagely Stage Stooges is a podcast created by four friends (Chris, Stephen, Josh, and Grady) who joke about and discuss anything, from video games, movies, and history to current events, life stories, and even sketch comedy. We have an irreverent sense of humor, and we get funnier as the show goes on. Well, at least we think we do...the booze probably helps with that. Come have a listen and enjoy a good laugh or three. Explicit Girlbossing with Oliver, Charlotte, and Nora Girlbossing with Oliver, Charlotte, and Nora This is a podcast for the individual who loves to hear about the Girlbosses of the world. We'll interview other Girlbosses, talk about iconic Girlbosses, but most importantly, we will Girlboss (as usual). We also talk about some common themes in our life as new college freshmen!The most important aspect of this pod is talking about the 3 major themes: Girlbossing, Gatekeeping, and Gaslighting.Disclaimer: We are not a professional pod; therefore we do not have good audio quality. Almost every episode is recorded in a car and therefore sounds like it is happening in a car. Calm down. ;) Explicit
