Chacharone is brought to you by...
Candi and Noodle, two relatively put together humans who want very much talk about all of the things humans are not supposed to talk about. Candi is the owner of Candi Presents, bringing content of all kinds to the universe. Noodle is the head editor and owner of Be Write and the biggest of bookworms. Together, they do their best to learn, grow, and figure out how two make the world a better place, one curse-word filled conversation at a time.
