Telethon Schedule!

April Wade and America Young have been friends and colleagues for years ...and it turns out that they don't actually have a lot of interests in common. America is a self-proclaimed geek (seriously, google her, it's obvious). April doesn't claim to be 'cool,' but since she's never read a comic book, she is definitely not a geek. Join us as we attempt to "geekify" the only person you've probably met whose only knowledge of Star Wars is from watching Spaceballs as a child.

Your hostesses: April Wade (@actoraprilwade) & America Young (@America_Young)
