Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #400: Epiversary Tangents And Squee

It's finally here, we've reached 400 episodes! We weren't sure how exactly we'd celebrate reaching this milestone, but we eventually decided on a good old-fashioned chatting session just like in our online hangouts pre-podcast. Of course, the more the merrier, so we're joined by DJ Nik, while we also live streamed this episode on our Facebook page. Our discussion topics include reminiscing about our origins, a few tangents thanks to your feedback, and even an announcement of a big project we've been working on behind-the-scenes. We can't thank everyone in the #FiveishFam enough for all your support, and we look forward to what the future holds.
