Summary
Since we're on spring break from releasing Thirst episodes, please enjoy this episode of our companion podcast, "Wet Hot American Doomsday," normally reserved for Supercast and Patreon supporters only! We talked with Joshua Ilon (Dennis Cruz) about the events of Thirst episode 4, "Duck!", as well as reality TV, a subject near and dear to his heart.
This is just a taste of what you'll find at The Penumbra: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can subscribe to on Supercast or Patreon. Please consider subscribing if you can--since times are tough for everyone, we've lost a lot of financial support and we're really teetering on the edge of being able to continue making the show. Indie art needs your help to survive!
