Description
Obsessed is a comedy show about your hyper-fixations. The ones that keep you up at night, hijack your group chats, or send you down a rabbit hole. Each episode, comedians Nina Concepción and Katherine Bourne Taylor unpack the niche interests they just can’t quit. From the oddly specific to the universally unhinged, no obsession is too weird, too deep, or too fleeting. Because nothing’s too weird when you’re among friends. Plus, Backdrop.fm subscribers get bonus episode where Nina and Katherine share their mini-obsessions, read their own (and their favorite) fanfic, deep dive into a recent obsession, and answer your questions.
