I will literally never shut up about this. Storied, which began as ‘Monstrum’ in 2019 reached 1 million subscribers! I am beyond proud of the work every host, writer, producer, editor, and teammate has contributed to this channel. @ericabrozovsky and I had a casual chat to talk about how surreal this all is (and about our other weird hobbies) if you want to check it out.

You asked and our Storied hosts answered! To celebrate 1 million subscribers on Storied, hosts @dremilyzarka of @monstrumpbs and @ericabrozovsky of Otherwords joined each other to answer your burning monster and linguistics questions!

The full special is live now on the PBS Storied YouTube channel! (Link in bio)
