Objectively Positive is a podcast project that brings on a new guest every episode aiming to give a voice to the unique stories of individuals who had experiences around a piece of media (movies, video games, music, or whatever else) that intrinsically ties them to it in a way no one else could. When it comes to media opinions, we keep things positive... like objectively.
