Loved the latest episode, Substack has been pissing me off and this was the push I needed to put it in the bin! Love you both and everyone should be come a member 💕
Listening to this podcast makes me feel so cool. It’s like overhearing a conversation at a coffee shop with the two ladies you’d love to be friends with but, like, you don’t want to interrupt their vibe.
Anyway, love the podcast and all the conversation it generates in my life. Thanks for thinking seriously about pop culture!
This podcast has been such a lifesaver as I try to cut back on being online <3 Keeps me up to date on pop culture & the current landscape with an energy that’s infectious.
(also thanks for making me feel vindicated in my dislike toward Wicked For Good 😂)
