Morgendorks: A Daria Podcast
by Rob Press / Nissa Lee
We're engaging in that proud Millennial tradition of nostalgia podcasting by taking an in-depth look at Daria, the iconic MTV cartoon that aired from 1997 to 2002. Whether you're a long-time fan of the show (like host Rob Press) or a relative newcomer (like host Nissa Lee), join us every two weeks as we explore the cynical, sarcastic, still-very-resonant world of our favorite animated teenage misanthrope.
