  • I tried to enjoy…

    As a conservative, I don’t think the host of this podcast would want me as a consumer judging by her clear biases. So, it can be enjoyable as long as you ca mute her liberalism. But I can’t and pretty sure she would find me abhorrent so 🤷‍♀️ The Giuffre episode was my last attempt to enjoy this podcast. Lots of luck.

  • More trash, less memoir

    I still enjoy the podcast from time to time but I feel like it has slowly pivoted into being about reality TV. I know other topics are covered too but I really miss when the focus was on women-centric celebrity memoirs.

  • Okay

    As someone who has left and is deconstructing from a cult, I find some of the banter / conversation kind of glib. While the information and opinions in this podcast are interesting enough, they clearly don understand the actual fat teaching effects of the religious abuse and trauma.
