008 | CHARACTER ASSASSINATION: August the Clueless [1x01]

To reiterate the disclaimer at the start of the episode, apologies for the weirdness with my audio this ep! Hopefully it doesn't ruin the episode, and we can just claim that August cursed it lol - Editing Anton <3

(TW: References to misogynistic language, its associations with r*pe culture, and the threat of homophobic hate crimes.)

In their first episode explaining why they both hate various characters inYoung Royals, Anton and Margaret start with potentially the easiest target of all, August in Season 1, Episode 1. While they both do their best to rein in their excitement at finally getting to roast August for an entire episode, Anton urges listeners to remember to the *specific* reasons why the fandom hates August with such rare consensus, and Margaret articulates their sense of what August thinks it means to live as a true member of the Swedish Royal Family. (Spoiler alert: he's wrong.)
