Like hanging out with friends

I always look forward to a new episode every week. The chemistry and friendship between the hosts is a delight, and their takes on pop culture are both refreshing and fun. Listening to the show is like going to a lively dinner party with close friends, and has caused me to laugh out loud on many a commute.

One of my favorite podcasts--and not just because they let me on as a guest one time ;)

Always a delight listening to your content! You manage to strike a perfect balance between scathing snark and positivity. I eagerly await each new episode.
