And this is episode 177, Supernatural with Megan Fitzmartin. Yeah, we originally planned on releasing this around the finale of Supernatural, but apparently the season's back end has kind of been postponed because of

the world. So I think now is a good time to listen to it as any. Listen, with so much of it streaming,

0:28.2

it is always a great time to learn about the cosmology of supernatural, which is truly what we

0:33.1

talk about here, as well as the process of actually making a television show, which is freaking

interview, is a writer for the later seasons of Supernatural. So legit, guys, we went straight
