Give Yourself to Cunniliftus (Figure skating with Lindsey Schroeder)

I'll Be There For You

Welcome to I'll Be There for You, a new podcast about pop culture and coping. In each episode, I chat with someone I admire about a piece of pop culture that got them through a difficult time in their lives. Our first guest is Chicago comedy producer & performer Lindsey Schroeder, who got through a difficult year with the help of figure skating, and specifically, two certain Canadian ice dancers.

Topics include: Embracing vulnerability, Surya Bonaly fangirling, hyperfixations, fanfiction where Jason Brown is an animorph, seeing The Thank You Canada Tour live, and, of course, the Cunniliftus.
