"But I Heard About It" is a pop cultural retrospective media review podcast, featuring Marissa Alexa McCool (Inciting Incident, The Cis Are Getting Out of Hand), Brian the Fuzzy (Inciting Incident), and making their podcast debut, Murphie McCool. The concept of the show began with Marissa showing Murphie movies and other media they'd never seen before while growing up in a repressive household where they weren't allowed to watch most things, and then comparing what it's like to see something for the first time versus someone who has either grown up with it or seen it a bunch of times. Brian, not to be left out with his DVD collection bigger than some libraries, wanted in with a return to the early days of Inciting Incident. Thus, they watch something that one of them hasn't seen, but they heard about it! Support at paypal.me/RissyMcCool or at the Patreon coming soon.
