  • Whitney & Nicole 4eva

    This show is awesome! I especially love whenever Whitney Pastorek and Nicole Williams are paired up to talk about the news and local politics. They are incredibly knowledgeable and care deeply about Nashville/Nashvillians.

  • Get rid of Whitney

    I was a regular listener and I just can’t stand her ego anymore. She’s insufferable. Marie is the best part of this show and I really want to like it, but Whitney is too unpleasant to continue listening.

  • Endless virtue signaling

    Whitney is as spiteful, unempathetic, & uncurious as the people she loves to dunk on, all with a pure ego-driven moral superiority complex layered on top.
