Chuck Wendig's "Wanderers"
Hosts Ana Marie Cox and Dan Drezner discuss the pressing question, "what if a pandemic didn't mean being forced to wear a mask, but growing a mask-like sheet of fungus out of your nose?".

Customer Reviews
Downbeat
I really enjoy your discussions but am appalled that you allow Walmart advertising space here. It seems more than a little incongruous.
Ana and Dan are great!
Love the new hosts starting season 4. Interesting commentary, analysis and interviews with cast. Much better than your average recap podcast.
Fun and interesting podcast!
Love Dan and Anna Marie’s fun and funny, informative and insightful commentary. They have great rapport and both bring so much to the table. Listening to their podcast has really enriched the viewing experience for me and made me understand how carefully the writers of the show have thought through so many details. They draw analogies between characters and plot lines to current social and political figures and issues as well as to other books and tv shows. Anna Marie has read the Expanse books but Dan didn’t which makes them a good pair for their different perspectives but they are very passionate about all the characters and the story.
