  • 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.
