Arts EN ↓ 256 episodes

Sam and Sarah are your camp counselors here to ask: Is it Camp?!We are diving into popular culture of all kinds to loosely identify what makes something camp. We are not here to be the definitive experts on it, but rather just talk about this often overlooked, and frankly queer, subgenre. It's not just movies, but TV, literature, and pop culture of all kinds.
