Modern Escapism's Mission:
To aid and abet your procrastination, to help you get away from the doldrums of the real world for a couple hours and help you seek out new entertainment to enjoy.
Modern Escapism is split into four sections.
1. Biggie's Breaking News
Each week we discuss the latest news in pop culture across movies, tv, gaming and more.
2. Reviews
Each week we bring some kind of media we've been consuming to review, dissect and discuss. This varies across all kinds of things from TV, films, games, books, music, wrestling, comics, podcasts and everything in between. Our aim is to hopefully recommend (or help you avoid) things out there that you can consume yourself.
3. Listener Feedback.
Our listeners are the most important thing about our podcast. Without you, we wouldn't be here and we thank every single of you that listens. This is why each week we encourage our listeners to write in and get involved with our main topic, offering up their take on what we're discussing.
4. What's Up In Candyland
The inner workings of Candys mind are a thing that no one person has been able to work out. Each week Candy gets to release to those thoughts in a fun segment where she brings something weird and wonderful to us. to educate, horrify or laugh at. Her minds has no limits.
