Feed Drop: World Gone Wrong Jul 09, 2025

Show notes

Hello! Producer Jeffrey here. This week, we’re really excited to share an episode of one of the shows our team is currently making- World Gone Wrong, a fictional chat show about friendship at the end of the world. World Gone Wrong follows two best friends as they unpack all of the bizarre supernatural stuff that plagues them- and while the format is very different from Our Fair City, I think you’ll find a lot of the tone and humor to be very similar.

You can find World Gone Wrong wherever you listen to podcasts- we hope you enjoy it!

What a world, huh?
