Snark Squad Pod #098 – Found Family

Previously: We had high hopes for Dollface and it let us down.

Sweeney: It’s the holidays! Time for family – or, if you’re us, it’s time for some found families. YOU SEE WHAT WE DID THERE? This is episode 98 (!!!) of this podcast and we have mentioned a few hundred times that we love a good found family, so this was a truly inevitable trope episode for us.

Equally as inevitable is our inviting our good friend Ceri Riley to talk about them with us, as she is both a member of the Snark Squad Family and has been our incredibly reliable pal for trope chats and – as we discussed on this episode – quite a few pieces of media with found families. You can find her all over the internet, but good places to start are Twitter, Cooler Than Homework, and SciShow Tangents.

Nicole Sweeney

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
