I love this lighthearted, cheery podcast. It always makes me feel better, even when I haven’t watched the show they’re recapping.
One tiny, crazy specific request: Andy, please read Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll to recalibrate the Ted Bundy lore a bit.
Otherwise, absolutely no notes carry on!
Discovered Shandy from love is blind IG content and found them hilarious, the podcast is equally as funny omg. It’s a hoot! Love the advice ones too they’re my fave. They crack me up as a duo! New fave podcast
