  • I have been a longtime fan of Iliza as a comic since War Paint and had no idea until last year that she had a podcast. I have been binging it since. I absolutely love this format. Some questions are funny, some are serious, but Iliza knocks them all outta the park. I also love the dynamic btw Iliza and Emily! Hot Scotty crushes it with the comedic relief in audio editing too. I absolutely love driving to work and cracking up over AIA!!

  • Like the show but not the direction it’s going…

    Have been enjoying the show for some years now because of the Iliza/Emily combo. (Yes I do enjoy hearing about the cats.)

    Some current trends: I like podcasts because they DON’T contain visual content. Don’t care if my hosts have perfect hair—just want to hear them.

    Iliza is moving this to a more video program—may work out well, but not my taste.

    More importantly, very disturbed by Iliza confounding any criticism of the policies of the state of Israel ( and its authoritarian lea... more

  • I can’t anymore with the anti-Palestenian views.

    Iliza broadly speaking about how most protesters that are speaking against the genocide in Palestine are only doing so because they are anti-Semitic or being paid…? is such ironic nonesense. Also her “centrist”views but somehow always speaking down on leftist while giving grace to conservatives is so off putting.

  • Following Iliza’s advice

    I’ve decided to follow Iliza’s advice and finally say something and stand firm in it. I put up with her increasing dislike of liberals for awhile. It’s fine. I don’t identify as a liberal but I’ve heard it all before and the other content was good enough for it to overshadow the political jabs. The truth is though, I shouldn’t have ever listened after hearing all her dog whistles of white supremacy. Cool, you don’t like my hair type, skin color, my nose, my hips. Constantly saying for years that... more

  • Iliza liked Charlie Kirk content

    Truly baffled to hear Iliza say she liked watching Charlie Kirk “argue with idiots on college campuses” at the end of the latest episode. I guess there is a reason she’s being served that kind of content in the first place… I’ve been a longtime fan and listener of this podcast and this has put a bad taste in my mouth, to put it mildly. She said she doesn’t have a vested interest in audience opinions on this topic which is pretty flippant to say when you’re praising someone with such a flagrant l... more
