I have only ever written three reviews:
1. A 5-star review for Rocket Money because they helped me catch a scam charge.
2. A 1-star review for a car mechanic because they were the scammers.
3. This review.
First, I have to admit I'm a little ashamed that I wrote the Rocket Money review before this one, considering I only signed up for Rocket Money because of Dear Shandy (and their incredibly effective ads). I'm trying to make things right now.
I've been listening since 2021, and this podcast has... more
Die hard Shandy here! I loved that you guys covered love Island this year and I know you were debating if you will cover it again, but I really hope you guys do next year as typically it is more entertaining. I’m looking forward to your ultimatum recaps now 😊
One of the best recap pods out there. I know it's off brand but I would love a recap of Survivor since it sounds like Sharlene and Andy are fans.
Dear Shandy is the first place I go to when I want a recap. I trust their opinions and love the banter between Sharlene and Andy.
Noooo watch out for dear shandy!!!!!OH NO!!!!!!!
