    We Know Now Snowmen Exist by Michael Spencer

    It's our final play of season 4! And in a bid to keep it seasonal, we're covering WE KNOW NOW SNOWMEN EXIST, a play with buckets of snow AND a snowman....(and a horror edge inspired by a creepy urban myth, but that's okay right?) A play that tries to answer the age old question of just what is a horseradish; and why would a group of young women feel the need to cut their way out of a tent when the exit is right there? Is it because just maybe...snowmen exist? With special guest playwright Michael Spencer.  Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.

We're also going to talk brand recognition (does anyone not know who Snow White is?) and condom marketing - yes this episode really does have it all! Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
