Witnessing Once in a Lifetime Experiences, Nickelodeon and 'Quiet on Set'

Millennial: Pretend Adulting, Real Talk

• Welcome to #Millennial, the show whose name can't be spelled without three massive L's!
• It may have been a total eclipse of the heart in the path of totality, but Laura was underwhelmed by what 85% coverage during the solar eclipse looked like in Atlanta.
• Would you spend $949 to stay in a Super 8 motel to watch a major event like the eclipse?
• The moon ain't done slaying yet: the lunar queen is set to get her own timezone!

• What was it like to watch this as Nickelodeon kids ourselves? Does this completely taint our memories of the channel?

And in this week's installment of After Dark, available on Patreon and Apple Podcasts:

• It's AMA time! We take our Patrons' burning questions about the BTS life of podcasting.
• Do we ever worry about someone we've talked shit on finding their way behind the paywall?
• Why have Andrew and Laura been saying no to a certain annual event?
• Some never before revealed MuggleSuck tea...
