  • Good but this irks me

    I enjoy listening to this podcast, especially when Kail has guests that are authors, however it often seems like she goes into interviews underprepared. Like wdym you’re interviewing an author and you didn’t thoroughly research her first and just started then book yesterday? As readers, we don’t expect spoilers but having read the book the author is promoting is kind of the bare minimum.

  • Love Kail but…

    Love and listen to any podcast you’re on. I find you very funny. Nothing personal against Ike, if you’re happy your fans are happy, but he gives trying to too hard to give the “right” answers and maybe he’s better behind the scenes. Hope you appreciate the constructive criticism. I’ll keep listening

  • Accountability

    I am a big fan since Teen Mom days, I listen to all Kails shows and always have rooted for her. Currently I am listening to “The Crash out Queen” at the part where Kail is going off about the stadium video that went viral… I am listening to this after seeing the wife’s explanation on that video. If you haven’t seen it, please go read it, and use this as a learning opportunity. Don’t be apart of the problem that rips people apart based off a video without ever knowing the context.

Setting The Record Straight
Q: What is your biggest regret when it comes to mom life and then your own personal life?
Kail says she wishes she had loved herself enough not to accept unsatisfying relationships that contributed to a complicated family dynamic, but she does not regret her children or being a mother.
MY HUSBAND ft Kayla
Q: Do you feel like your mom giving you up for adoption then was almost like an act of love?
Kayla believes her mother was trying to save her and her siblings from an unhealthy situation and give them something better, though she also sees the decision as arising from desperation.
MY HUSBAND ft Kayla
Q: Since they have been divorced, is that something that you like when they're able to be together in the same room?
Kayla says she misses her parents together because they divorced when she was 14, but values seeing them interact. She also sees how each parent grew into a fuller version of themselves after the divorce.
Sometimes I Scare Myself with Jeneva Rose
Q: If you went to a writer's workshop and new writers that wanted to become published authors asked you for advice, what would you say?
Rose advises writers to focus on what they can control, the writing itself, and not wait for inspiration or motivation. She says the work involves showing up even when the words are difficult to write.
