    Just very uneducated and poorly framed and researched content. Only if you know and like the hosts will it be listenable

  • Laura and Rachel doing deep dives into the murkiest waters of both the human psyche and our society will never NOT be entertaining. Their topics are impolite, to be sure, but they handle them with poise, polish, and panache, and each episode bears the same high-precision production quality.

    Open your ears, open your mind, and maybe learn an uncomfortable truth about yourself or the people around you. It’s well worth your time.
