  • Love this show!

    Chelsea is fabulous. I don’t even like memoirs, but I found this thru a crossover years ago, and I stayed for the stories and the thoughtful commentary. Skip reality TV and guest host episodes, and WOW do I wish we could rate guests because there are a few folks who are unlistenable, like the Rita Moreno episode. Bring a timer if you’re invited to be a guest and do not make everything about you. Chelsea makes it look easy and clearly it isn’t!
