  • My fave lezzos

    Looooveee this podcast thank you girls!!! As a baby gay myself who’s surrounded predominantly by straight people (rip), this feels like I’m just chatting with two friends! Only piece of advice I’d give is that when people send voice notes in, can the audio somehow be overlayed on the vid audio? It’s soooo hard to hear when they’re played. Otherwise love it, and love you girls so much xx
