Funny and educational. My new favorite podcast.
Such a perfect balance of education, conversation and humor. Please make more episodes, forever!
The dynamic between Michael and Mélissa is great to listen to! I like the mix of banter/information/relevancy to the current times! Not the first pod on my list, but I still enjoy most episodes when I do listen! 😊
Enjoying this show — love their New Yorkiness (if you know you know). Keep it up Divas!
Really enjoying this through provoking show. Am not USA based but am finding that the discussions are so interesting and helpful to understand what americas are experiencing. Am loving the PETA interview! Firm but fair representation of this activist and cause.
