Ep. 48 - Utah Pride Parade!

Pannon and VFire walk the Pride Parade in Utah! Happy Pride Month!! We celebrate by interviewing other cosplayers at the event and talking about how the hobby has helped others find their identities.

I've never seen a parade where everyone cheers the entire time so enthusiastically!! Enjoy the photos ;)

As always, thank you for listening,
