Questionable: Recent Episodes
Questionable
Every other Wednesday, teens Lydia and May discuss questionable things they find on the internet and give questionable advice based on their limited life experience.
In the finale episode of Questionable, we revisit our first episode, reveal which episodes we don't like, and reflect on how Questionable has affected our relationship. We also take you behind the scenes by discussing our creative process and demographics.
Thank you for listening!
