state of the fandom: the Eden birthday scandal

Welcome to a bonus episode of HALA chat--our first state of the fandom address. *chat notes: Be:First is coming to LA; The Eden Birthday Scandal suggested links: Be:First in LA announcement ​Rachel's post about the Eden drama Bonus: our EDEN playlist to soothe a weary soul you can find us on auntiny.com, or on X and Instagram @halachatpodcast. *Note that this episode was recorded on July 16, but then the whole tour happened, and basically, we just got around to posting it. So the state of the fandom is not the state of the fandom anymore. But, going forward, we intend to drop some state of the fandom addresses in when something big happens or we have some things to discuss!
