  • Beautiful

    This show is incredible, it is beautiful. It is a way to interact with celebs different from any other and it is masterfully hosted. It was the first podcast where I was like “I would pay for this” (I didn’t have to but I would). The Andrew Garfield ep is an all time episode for all of podcasts 💜

  • Speechless with tears

    Wow!!!! Anna is beyond perfection with her beautiful voice, calm delivery and contagious laugh. Her questions and comments are absolutely spot on. This broadcast was so moving with Jessica Buckley’s story and her performance in Hamnet. I was already so moved by the conversation, but then to hear the essay, I was completely brought to tears. So powerful an experience. Thank you.

  • Women-Only Community

    Imagine a community where men are not raping, stalking, assaulting, kidnapping, and murdering women. I’m not surprised that women’s-only communities are thriving.
