  • A Shell of Her Former Self

    This podcast is a desperate attempt at relevancy from former comedian Chelsea Handler. She used to be so funny! It’s sad what she has devolved into.

  • Yes, Ads-A-Plenty

    The mini episodes are succinct enough, the longer episodes are entertaining, too - both are riddled with long ads, but I find it easy to skim through them. The candid advice is hysterical and off the cuff. I cannot stop thinking of that medical school graduate who is contemplating an engagement/marriage to her junior high sweetheart, ouch.

    But this podcast has too many ads. Half of the podcast is ads. It’s turning me off from listening.

  • Less yapping, please

    I really loved this podcast, like looked forward to it coming out every Thursday but now it’s mostly adds and conversations with celebrities about their rich and famous lives. Then they do 15 minutes of question. This is meant to be an advice podcast. I really don’t care to hear about all these celebrities’ mothers and childhood traumas. There are plenty of other spaces for celebrities to be narcissists. Answer some damn questions.
