Who doesn't love a good side quest?

You've see the main quests on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube but this is where we talk about everything else!

Hosted by Andrew McLean (@WebHeadedHero), an actor, content creator, personal trainer, and former Disney performer, and Jessica Wings (@JessicaWings), a gamer, content creator, and actual Lord of the Rings hobbit. The SideQuest Podcast is a fun, lighthearted entertainment podcast about creator life, pop culture, gaming, and the wild real-life adventures that happen behind the scenes.

From red carpets and life as content creators in Los Angeles to Disney stories, geek culture, movies, TV, video games, books, and the random experiences we've been through, this show dives into the side quests, past, present, and the ones we're heading into next.

Join us as we discuss wild stories, unexpected moments, and behind-the-scenes chaos we don't get to share anywhere else, with occasional guests including creators, actors, cosplayers, and more!

If you're into gaming, movies, nerd culture, or want an inside look at social media and creator life, this is your place.
