    I’m a longtime listener of this pod, love that she recaps some less popular shows and gives really in depth recaps. Also, the dynamic between Tayne and Brian is phenomenal. Totally elevating the content.

    I don’t have any streaming service so I was disappointed I couldn’t watch the new season of Married At First Sight or so I thought. It’s also on Bravo! Regular TV.

  • LOVE Tayne!!

    I was listening to one of the LIB pods, and Tayne made a comment about her accent/voice and I wanted to say I absolutely LOVE Tayne’s voice. I listen to her podcasts again and again and even fall asleep to them. Love her commentary too - so smart and funny!!
