    Episode 27 – Memes and Fan Creations with Tyler Dean

    It's our final episode! (For now.) Bringing it on home is the same guest that started it all, English professor and podcaster Tyler Dean. Together, he and host Brian Rubinow look at Critic-related memes, fan art, fan fiction, and whatever else they can find out there. This one goes deep!
    On a personal note, I've greatly enjoyed the journey this podcast has taken me on, and I thank each and every one of you for listening. It's been a true pleasure. -Brian
