The Consequences of Crunch – Now Live!

Happy July to you all! We’re half way through the year and our latest episode is now available on your favorite podcasting platforms, or through our website.

Episode 235 focuses on ConCrunch.

What it is. What it can do to your health. And what cosplayers and the convention-going public should do to stop promoting the behavior.

As this episode focuses more on stress and mental & physical health, we’d like to remind everyone that the hosts of CosPod are not medical experts. We did our best to research the topic in full from various, authentic medical resources before recording this episode. If you ever have any questions about your health or the effects of crunch, please speak to your doctor.
