Description

A weekly podcast where five friends talk pop culture from TV, Games, Movies, Books, Music, Wrestling, Comics, Podcasts and everything in between. Each week we discuss the news from the pop culture & media world as well as reviewing what media we've been consuming that week.Our main aim is to help our listeners procrastinate and get away from the real world for a couple of hours, have a laugh with us and hopefully come away with some fantastic recommendations. Join us every Thursday for a new episode and let's procrastinate together.Website: www.modernescapism.co.ukEmail: [email protected] Patreon: www.patreon.co.uk/modernescapismFollow us on Twitter: @ModernEscapism, @ScorchedSheep, @stig_stu, @OodlesODimm, @Bigkopman @Candymachine85 & @Gadget8bitDiscord- https://discord.gg/bfNnu8P Hosted on Acast.
