Well, Here We Are Podcast artwork

A weekly podcast which explores pop culture, the humanities, and how they matter for our daily lives. Each week, your hosts (Hannah and Suzanne) share three (ish) things as we engage with all that delights, intrigues, and sometimes repels us; both in our areas of shared interest (ex: football, makeup, Jane Austen, Schitt’s Creek, and wine) as well as our individual specialties (ex: art history, museum studies, film, and theology). Join for the topics, stay for the conversation, and enjoy our correct opinions. Twitter: @wellherepod; Instagram: wellherepod
