I love this podcast. I can tell I really love it because I used to get annoyed by little things like Bridie saying “eckspecially” but this is really fading and now I almost like it. The other reviews articulate the beauty of their dynamic and friendship so much better than I could. Vive les girlies 🩵
This podcast really fills a gap for me in Australian podcasts with intelligent and frank discussion of news and culture, while also being funny. Bri and Bridie obviously have a genuine friendship and charisma, I also think their differences in opinion and willingness to question each other and probe deeper makes for excellent listening. I hard relate to Bridie as a Mum of young kids and the various ways they are trying to kill us.
This is my favourite podcast of 2023. I can’t wait to listen every week as Bri and Bridie dissect culture with empathy and intelligence. I love the way they discuss and disagree and it is a great podcast for women who are thinking about motherhood or have young children, there is very frank discussion about the continuation and flourishing of intellectual , creative and social life within the bounds of motherhood.
My best friend and I religiously tune into these two ladies chatting about all things politics and books and life and writing! I’m SO HAPPY to have found a fun podcast that is also serious and smart and enjoyable to listen to without getting too depressed
I’ve never been a person that gets so excited about a new episode coming out, thanks for providing me with great entertainment weekly
