What do you want to be when you grow up? Aug 18, 2019

Show notes

#210: So… What do you want to be when you grow up? It’s an existential crisis we can all relate to. The team goes through their own academic and professional experiences, where they’ve been, where they are, and where they’re going. We decided to cover this so we could address some topics we’ve seen come up on the GT Discord.

Understanding Each Other Through Media Jun 29, 2019

Show notes

#201: Geek Therapy was founded on the idea that the best way to understand each other, and ourselves, is through the things we love. For many of us, the content and characters we care about most help us navigate the world and communicate how we feel.

This episode is all about the theory that started everything. Welcome to season 5 of GT Radio.
