- To you Margery
I love hearing you talk about Ian. I love your stories about your two sons. The episode that I laughed was when Elizabeth was gone and Ian co hosted with you. It must have been the Watch Read Listen And Ian had said the movie he has been watching was Jennifer Lopez Marry Me movie. He was kidding but that just made me laugh that episode you two did the podcast together

United States2 months ago - Re Scott Pelley interview
I was disappointed in Marjorie’s statement regarding the interview. Whatever you think about the changing of the guard at CBS, his behavior with his new boss was unbelievable. Then, he’s surprised he got fired??? 60 Minutes has lost its credibility before the change in ownership. Selective editing is not good journalism.
Apple Podcasts3Ann in VermontUnited States3 months ago - Love you ladies but please stop the political comments
I started listening to this podcast because, like Elizabeth, I’m also a crunchy gal and I love their episodes where she gets into best practices to live a happy, healthy life. Unfortunately I’ve downgraded my rating of the show from a 5 to a 4 because of the political comments that have been creeping in the last few months. I enjoyed the show because it was one of the only pods I could listen to that doesn’t have political commentary and I had no idea at all of the hosts’ political views. Then t... more
Apple Podcasts4JMathCoUnited States3 months ago - Is there equal time?
I’d love to hear more from Margery. The podcasts, in general, seem dominated by Elizabeth. Too much, it becomes annoying. She even interrupts her. Margery, I know you have more to offer.

Hi Margery and Elizabeth, I have listened to every podcast that you guys have put out and have found something that resonates with me in every one. I have been waiting for you to mention the situation that has been happening on the ground in MN with ICE and am sad that it hasn’t been addressed. I don’t live locally anymore and have appreciated your balanced and thoughtful take as high stakes events have happened during your podcast tenure. I’ve been waiting for Margery’s mother of a monk and Eli... more
