  • Antoinette & Shanti: A Masterclass in Heart, Humor, and Honesty

    Every episode feels like pulling up a chair with two friends you admire, respect, and somehow feel deeply connected to, even without ever having met them. Antoinette and Shanti bring such magnetic, complementary energies that it’s impossible not to fall in love with the dynamic they’ve created.

    What keeps me coming back is the realness: the agreeing, disagreeing, the conflict, the laughter, and all the messy, magical in-betweens that make their conversations feel so human. Antoinette brings the... more

  • Love and Cringe this Podcast

    I love Antoinette as an individual and how she breaks down politics. It’s informational, digestible and I can trust the information is accurate. I love Shanti as an individual and how she always brings humor and a different philosophical or reflective view to topics. I LOVE their chemistry during crash out episodes. That is when their friendship comes alive and it’s a smooth listen. I often CRINGE the chemistry during politics and certain pop culture topics. It’s obvious that one podcaster has ... more

  • Great pod overall

    I love this podcast but since trump was reelected, 85% of it is politics. During political conversation, Antionette often interrupts Shanti and when shanti attempts to clarify what she’s saying, Antoinette will say “please let me finish” we’re all human and I find myself interrupting people myself but it would be nice to hear both people’s views on every topic even if one is not as involved or dedicated to the topic on the table

  • Sound in ep477

    Ladies, please be mindful of your sound levels. I find myself having to adjust the sound throughout episodes, especially in episode 477, because you’re either yelling or basically whispering. My hand stays on the volume button.
