Welcome to Guilty Treasures, a bi-weekly, interview-style podcast about everything you ever loved...but were afraid to talk about. Each episode, a guest brings us a topic they're passionate about, but don't get the chance to share in their day-to-day life. This week, we talk with artist and designer Alex Long about her relationship with cosplay. She discusses how she got started in the hobby, where she found her joy in it, and what made her decide to start sharing it more in her public life!
