I’m new to the podcast but going through the back log- they are so charming, I could listen to them all day!
They do a great job breaking down all the “love” shows. Great insight and thoughts on all the interesting characters in reality TV land. I really enjoy listening to Dear Shandy on my drives.
You guys are so cute and I find myself laughing out loud often. I watch love is blind and ultimatum but didn’t know you had recaps! Also I love the Q&A.
Love your banter/dynamic/laughs mixed in with your very organized recaps! I also love learning random facts from Andy 🤓 Please do Temptation Island recaps in the future, too (if you haven’t already) - I think you would love it, especially the host!!
I could listen to you two discuss just about anything. Even your ads are quite adorable. What got me to leave this review though, was to prove I listened to the end of your last episode when you asked for reviews 🤣 OG Sharleen fan, btw! Andy, you’re okay too, even we aren’t quite sure what you do for a living 😉
