those F%#KING fangirls

121

Christine Riccio & Natasha Polis are chatting all things nerdy pop culture and how fandom factors into adult life. What does being a Twihard look like post the angsty teen years? What books, tv, and movies are we all obsessing over now?  How does fandom infiltrate our love lives? They’re covering all that sh*t and more in their podcast Those Forking Fangirls! New episodes every Friday! If their names sound familiar, you might have seen them over the years on YouTube as PolandbananasBooks and Tashapolis! Christine is now an author, and Natasha runs a talent agency.

    Cracking Up!
    Just found this podcast while searching for something new. Landed on this podcast and so glad I did. I’ve jumped around to different episodes and have listened to about 6 so far. Enjoying the heck out of these episodes. I LOVE that I can listen to these two, sharing the same interested in literally EVERYTHING that I do from books to movies to shows and weird fandom things that no one around me seems to understand my affinity for. Keep it up, chicas! You keep me cry-laughing every time I hit “play” to listen to you.

    So entertaining!
    I've followed both Christine and Natasha since way back in the early BookTube days. This podcast is so much fun, and it's become a total comfort show for me. Even if I don't always like the same things they do or agree with their opinions every time, they're so entertaining and hilarious. Their enthusiasm is contagious.

    Fangirls over all the best things!
    I’ve been following Christine and Natasha since the booktube days and was so excited that they started a podcast! This podcast encompasses so many of the same interests I have as a fan girl and I’ve been loving listening to their weekly podcast! I have really enjoyed the addition of chapter chat separate from the pod so I can catch up when I’m ready!

    So comforting

    I enjoy the personalities in the show
    I remember discovering this podcast through Natasha when she shared it on Instagram or on her YouTube channel. I discovered Natasha through cosplays and different film premieres in the Disney and Marvel hashtags. Some of my favorite episodes are the brother and sister discussions. I liked hearing the sibling stories. I laughed so much and I enjoyed hearing where their fandom origins and interest were like and different things they liked or disliked. I liked hearing about Band of Brothers, Star Wars, super heroes. I love hearing about film premiers, Disney, cosplaying and making outfits and hearing about the process of making outfits. What I enjoy most about each episode is listening to the personalities.

    We love a fangirl podcast 👏🏼
    I grew up with these ladies on YouTube, and now that I’ve transitioned over into an avid podcast listener, they’re now PODCASTERS! Being one of the only young adult, fantasy readers in my group of friends, I love having Christine and Natasha to turn to when I need other forking fangirls to chat with!

    White Feminism
    Christine, I’m really disappointed in your constant defense of Taylor Swift. She is the epitome of white feminism. Her relationship with Matt Healy made this so blatantly obvious, but you still chose to defend her.

    Best podcast ever
    Thank you for creating an amazing podcast. This is definitely a must listen. I always have a great time listen to Christine and Natasha. They are so funny. I love getting to hear more about their lives too. I’ve been watching Christine and Natasha on YouTube since 2016. It is so much fun to hear them together every week. I always look forward to the next new episode. This podcast is my favorite to listen to any time I’m driving.

    Wonderful Journey continues for Tasha & XTine!
    I have been watching Christine since 2013 when I found her on a City of Bones review. She introduced me to BookTube, which I actively participated as a created from 2014-2016. I loved Tasha right from the beginning, I remember the Page to Premiere days! It was so much fun and I still follow all those wonderful BookTube people to this day and have loved seeing their journeys into authordom, other careers and growing up. I absolutely love Tasha and Christine in this format. They are doing a great job and talk about stuff us fangirls want to chat about. I appreciate both their takes and this new podcast! Keep it up ladies, it’s great already!! ❤️❤️

    My fan girl heart!❤️
    I’ve been following Christine on social media and YouTube for years. When I saw that she was doing a fan girl podcast I had to check it out. I am so glad that I did! After the first episode, I immediately bought ACOTAR and fell down a weeK long rabbit hole that had me finishing the entire series and binging Christine’s book talks on them. I am so happy to have been introduced Tasha through this podcast, and I am absolutely adoring her. I really enjoy her perspective in the discussions! I look so forward to the new episodes every Friday, and I have even been replaying some of my favorite parts for people. The discussion on toxic man was perfection, and I have listened to it over and over.

    They just make me so happy
    I’ve been fans of both Christine and Natasha for SO many years and being able to witness and be a part of this new journey for them both is such a privilege. The content and topics they discuss is so entertaining. And of course their combined personalities definitely make the podcast even more entertaining. The read a long of ACOTAR is also a very nice touch. I’ve been in quite a reading slump lately, cause, you know, life. And it’s been a MINUTE since I’ve read ACOTAR (haven’t even read the sequels, don’t come after me) so this is just so nice to be able to read at a slower pace and then hear their thoughts. I kinda hope they do the whole series. Anyways, I never review things but I really want to support these fantastic women so they can keep on doing these podcasts!

    A Good Time
    Love these ladies so much. It’s nice to have something to listen to if I’m not in the mood for an audiobook or music. Had a smile on my face the entire time.

    Living that best life
    You definitely can live your best fangirl life listening to this podcast! If you followed Christine or Natasha in the true height of YouTube with booktube, then you will absolutely want to join in with this podcast. It brings back all of the best of fangirling and the random-ness that happens when it comes to being a fangirl! I can’t wait to listen to more episodes and see what’s up in the world of fangirls!

    Fun & Easy Listen
    I am not a fan of podcasts, NORMALLY. Usually they are boring & I get distracted easy. With THIS podcast though, I felt like I was in the conversation with Christine & Natasha. They are so comfortable chatting and I feel like I’m in the conversation with them. So looking forward to future episodes with these two sparkling, brilliant minds! 😍 so forking good! 🍴🍎🧛🏼‍♂️
