Common Room: Passionate Discussion of Pop Culture, Food, Fitness, & Fashion!

Instead of an in-depth discussion on Twin Peaks listen in to Travis the Grimm and Hadas (that's me!) get nerdy. Sometimes not everything goes according to plan!

When it came time to record our second episode of the Twin Peaks rewatch focusing on season two, one co-host had to miss the recording and the other didn't finish watching the season. Such is the life of podcasting. You really never know what will happen even if you try and plan well or you overcompensate with multiple prepared cohosts.

For a more accurate Twin Peaks discussion, please listen to the IGGPPC rewatch of season one. It features Rosa as a true blue fan of Twin Peaks, Lulu as the first time watcher and immediate hater on the show, and myself, Hadas, as the lukewarm pop culture consumer.

Travis has been a long time friend of the show and one of my absolute favorite people. Where can you find him? Oh boy, don't get me started. Listen to the ep and you'll see that Travis is everywhere doing so much! It's pretty impressive. Heads to his twitter to find links to what he's working on and to make a fantastic new friend. :)

The IGGPPC are great friends that created a friendly inclusive community of passionate people aka geeks.You can find a friend that is into what you're into. You can find people who are passionate about almost everything. My favorite "geek love?" Tea! Sign up to find your own pen pal or to join the community!

Stay tuned for our Rewatch of Veronica Mars!!

As you know, on Common Room, we are religiously and politically neutral. We'll never post happy holidays for any holiday or support a political candidate as a site/podcast. So, when I asked friends and strangers to be on the show for #Potterweek and got a request to talk about religious allusions, I was a bit nervous.

Stefani, a friend who I met through work suggested this for a reason that was pretty interesting. Stefani and her siblings were not allowed to have Harry Potter in the home.

Stefani has a personal connection that she generously shared. We moved on to talk about bigger Harry Potter themes, favorites, and even took some time to do some sorting and discuss those large introspective questions.

Enjoy this last episode of Potterweek on what I'm calling Potterday. Happy First Day of Hogwarts!!

Check out Stefani- nowhere! She hates the internet! And check out James on social media as thejacksonjd!
