Podcasts by Melodramatic Teen Universe
Welcome to the Melodramatic Teen Universe Podcast, the first ever podcast to that weaves together all of your favorite teen dramas from the 90’s and 2000’s! I’m Emily Duke, an attention seeking millennial and comedian, with a self appointed doctorate in everything from Dawson Leery’s infamous tears, to the evolution that every young girl goes through when they realize that Dean sucks and Jess rules. I’m going to be bringing in some new and old friends, comedians, and stars from the universe to discuss the magical world that gave us all our first sexual awakenings, soundtrack for our heartbreaks, and in certain cases, wardrobe inspiration for the PSATS. From Capeside to The O.C., from Stars Hollow to the Hellmouth, I’m so excited to talk to each and every one of you about the Melodramatic Teen Universe.
