In Solidarity with Black Lives Matter
Instead of posting and promoting our regular episodes this week, Partyfish Media is pausing our shows and social media and standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movements and protests in response to the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Nina Pop, Tony McDade, and countless others at the hands of corrupt police brutality, founded upon and perpetuated by white supremacist culture. Black Lives Matter and they are in need of support and attention, now in this moment and into the future.

Madi Wolter: ER Technician "Wash your face, don't touch your hands"
Germs have managed to shut down pretty much everything this podcast is about. So let's talk about germs!

This week on Shifties: Wash your face, don't touch your hands, what's cooler than being cool? ventilators, what are they? iron lungs, keeping a dark and spooky side, and exorcist auditions
