"The Category is Simply Catfish" (w/ Kristen Bartlett)

We get into if non-theater people are capable of throwing good weddings, motivational water bottles, why all the confrontations on Catfish happen in a frigid parking lot, what celebs are currently on Raya, Christian clowning, how Harry Potter is The Bible, finding community when you need it, and Lane Bryant bras.
