Summary

"Bear of Beeftown Adventure" (April 7, 2024)

About a hundred episodes later, this podcast is pleased to report that The Great North got even gayer with the season four addition of Aunt Dirt, voiced by Jane Lynch. She's been living in a bunker for sixty years and in this episode she learns about what it means to be a lesbian in the 2020s.

Listen to our previous episode about The Great North and our interview with Charlie Kelly, who wrote both the episodes we've covered.
