  1. EPISODE 1

    1: The Invasion Part 1 with Leigh Pfeffer

    NO TURNING BACK, NO BACKING DOWN! The first episode of Nevermorphed is here, and probably unsurprisingly, we talked about the series and Book 1: The Invasion for so long, I absolutely must split this into two episodes. My guest this episode (and next episode!) is Leigh Pfeffer of History is Gay. Highly recommend these episodes: "31. The Gaymother of Rock n' Roll, O.G. Electric Lady Sister Rosetta Tharpe""39. The Amazons: Stoner Horse Girl Warriors of Antiquity" Nevermorphed is hosted, edited, and produced by Wil Williams. Our theme music is “The Chase” by Joey Hendrixx.
