  • Love it!!

    I have so much fun listening to these episodes. I don’t get to go to theme parks as much as I wish I did, so I get to live vicariously through this podcast. It is fun and upbeat, and I wish Carlye were my real life friend - the way she dishes the news and her honest opinions, it feels like she is. Also love the listener calls and the voicemails from her mom. So sweet.

  • My god.

    Good anecdotal info at times, but the over-hyped, gushy-happy-girl cutesy informercial presentation style is BRUTAL. It's just too much. Also imo approaching inauthentic; not sure if I'm supposed to believe she's just riffing off the cuff but clearly she's written every superfluous verbal somersault before hand, probably with notes in the margin of how to read it.

    Another well off "influencer"

    personality we can do without that’s doing this 90% for the media access and privilege. But hey i get... more
