    WWBUT 113 – Stalker With Manners
    Mar 17 2026

    It’s time for OPINIONS as we get into what we’ve been up to! Missy begins this year’s Oscar journey and Merri has thoughts on reality TV and stalker romance.

    Notes: The sound on this one is a little rougher than usual because a piece of our usual recording equipment went out and we weren’t able to monitor the sound the way we normally do. We should have this under control for our next episode!
