    May 12 2026
    "We're gonna need a bigger boat."Welcome to the Bigger Boat Podcast where two partners navigate big things with even bigger emotions through the lens of the con circuit. This is an episode that one part live and the other part is in the studio. In this episode, we recount our time at this year’s Culpeper Con and present our full panel on Books and Mental Health. This is a panel that discusses different titles that have impacted our mental health and eventually literary titles that discuss mental health themes the best.
