No Such Thing as Grown Ups is a podcast hosted by Curtis Carey & Tara Audibert- animators, comic artists, lego enthusiasts and eternal children. It is the ultimate survival guide to the Pre-Apocalypse. We talk geek culture, zombie prep, and reveal the truth behind the lies imposturous adults have been telling for years. PLUS we do improv skits. We have books and a new comic No Such Thing as Grown Ups: Book One, stop by our table for some FREE NSTAGU swag!
