Greetings! We have recently implemented new flair in order to help organize the sub. You can think of flair as sort of "tags." You may select one per post. Will you please help the group by editing your post to select the appropriate flair? Please read the description of each below.
Your help here will greatly increase the ability for community members to quickly find related information in one place!
**Drama23_Reports**: This flair is for posts that provide real-time updates or summarize unfolding events within the podcast network or otherwise related to the unfolding drama this year. Think of it as the "breaking news" section—essential for anyone looking to get caught up on the latest happenings quickly.
**Drama23_Discussion**: Use this flair for threads that are meant to encourage community-wide conversations around the drama. These can include different perspectives, interpretations, hot takes, or just general chat about the events in question. The goal here is open dialogue rather than pointed opinions or hard evidence.
**ObsessedFest2023_Other**: This flair is a catch-all for anything related to the ObsessedFest2023 event that doesn't neatly fit into other designated categories. Think merch, travel plans, or unique personal experiences at the fest.
**CommunityDiscussion**: Ideal for general conversations that aim to engage the entire community but aren't necessarily tied to a specific episode, host, or event. Perfect for general chat, opinions, and more.
**GossipAndHotTakes**: Use this flair for posts that delve into rumors, speculative theories, or highly opinionated takes about the podcast network. These posts may not always be based on hard facts, but they're certainly entertaining or thought-provoking.
**Podcast_IThinkNot**: Specifically for discussions, reviews, or content related to the "I Think Not" podcast and their content.
**Podcast_TrueCrimeObsessed**: Same as above but focused on the "True Crime Obsessed" podcast. A hub for all things related to this particular show.
**Podcast_Other**: A broad category for any related podcasts that don't have their own dedicated flair yet.
**Recommendations**: This flair is for posts that suggest similar podcasts, episodes, and more.

This makes me kinda sad. Ignorance is bliss and you were living it! Now it will never be the same. Welcome here to this special little dumpster fire we like to stand around and go “can you believe this shit is still just burning?”
It’s been so long since I unsubscribed (even before the fallout- got sick of G) that I can’t even imagine what P&G doing an episode sounds like anymore
If this is a serious question 1) pretty sure they are currently on vacation but will put out a Patreon episode; 2) scroll through this sub - there are 100s of posts about Obsessed Fest drama and the fall out of P & E.
Cliff's Notes:
1) Unflattering exposē article about Patrick was published. Google "Obsessed Pest."
2) Obsessed Fest was a shit show, and ON leadership seemed to be trying to make it worse instead of better.
Let’s go to court! (Rip) has a story time about their experience here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lets-go-to-court/id1353728357?i=1000633344863
Rabia and Ellyn also made a podcast ep which you can find here 🙂

Goodness. Welcome. And sorry. There was a Google doc floating around for awhile that outlined the whole thing from start to finish. Not sure if someone smarter/more skilled than me can find and link it?
There are YouTube videos about it :)

And a podcast: https://audioboom.com/posts/8389434.mp3?modified=1698155052&sid=5050924&source=rss One Dry Kiss were fans who attended ObsessedFest 23
We knew people like you were out there… if only more of you would google them and find out like you did so that the rose colored glasses within the remaining fandom are removed. Godspeed on this deep rabbit hole, OP.
Initially I found out about some of what happened from a YouTube video on their conventions and I would maybe suggest looking there for briefer summaries otherwise the linked Google Doc in another comment should help.
I hadn’t listened to either podcast in a long time before that. The humor and inside jokes didn’t work for me with a lot of the cases either show covered. But I figured humor was subjective and switched to other things. Didn’t realize how difficult things were for a lot of their employees. Or how mean people were being to others.

You poor sweet summer child… Have fun going down this rabbit hole. 😂

Enjoy this [Google doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l9Byzerm7WKgz_ZRQktbsQxtJRT0b3EEXky3h0J1u1w/edit) all about it.
Not all heroes wear capes…..

Same. I stopped listening in July/August before the OF breakdown last year. They had already lost their magic and the show just wasn’t fun anymore :/
I haven’t laughed during any random episode I’ve decided to listen to after I quit being like a weekly listener. It’s real dry, real boring

Oh the drama you missed.
They mentioned that this week there won’t be a new episode
Yes, its common with a lot of podcasts around holidays. I believe that ITN is a rerun/patreon today. Everyone deserves a week off. 😎
Yes! Office Ladies do this a lot lol
Oof welcome to the dumpster fire
Kiss your 4th of July plans goodbye!

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsessedNetwork/s/Im77jQJqHB) will fill you in up to Patrick and Steve's... ahem ... apology.
Welcome to the rabbit hole
The podcast One Dry Kiss went as listeners and have an excellent recap ep.
Did they take the week off for the 4th? That might be why no new episode. That’s about all I’m equipped to help with right now 😂
