    Ep. 21 | Alice Before Wonderland

    This week's story is like the Dark Universe because there's just one part (rip.) Aanvik looks at the story of 'Alice in the Wonderland' and its creation. A simple story behind the not so simple  genre-defining story.  Check out my article 'Breaking Up With JK Rowling': https://scadmanor.com/im-sorry-jk-im-not-coming-back-to-your-wizarding-world/  New episodes come out every alternate Friday on all podcasting platforms of your choice. If you want to help make this project better, and also help make it at all, tell someone about the podcast.  If you're looking for more stuff just like this, our instagram account has TONS tons of exclusive content: instagram.com/greathumanchronicle When Aanvik is not writing in third person about himself, he is making comics and animated films about the world he is currently stuck in. You can follow him @aanvikiguess on both Twitter and Instagram to keep up with him, the podcast or/and to just get in touch with him. He is very funny on Instagram, or so he says : instagram.com/aanvikiguess/ He is also on Twitter: https://twitter.com/aanvikiguess aaaaaaand on tiktok (of course he's on tiktok): https://www.tiktok.com/@aanvikiguess  Aanvik also has a website and he says it's very cool (it really is!!) : aanvikiguess.com  Lastly,  This entire podcast is the result of the effort of one individual. And so, as that one individual, I want to thank you for giving this little endeavor of mine your time, your energy and most importantly, your attention. In a time where massive conglomerates and big money media seem to own every major podcast, your attention matters more than ever before. So thank you for giving this your attention.   Thanks :)
