  • Not My Style

    Comes across very negative. The host, Meghan speaks entirely too fast, so it’s very difficult to understand what she says. Closed captioning even has a hard time keeping up!! She doesn’t complete her sentence before starting a new one. She should S L O W D O W N…take breaths. Melisa is much easier on the ears— I would recommend letting her talk more!!

  • I'm Sorry 🤷‍♀️

    I started listening about 3 weeks ago& I must say I was enjoying everything I was hearing. Politically and advise wise. I'm a progressive democrat so I welcomed most all the political banter. Until you were talking about the Grammys. I am a staunch Cowboy Carter supporter and fan. Most importantly for bringing Rhiannon Giddens and the black artists in bluegrass to the forefront. Country music radio has paid the better part of my household bills for the last 25 years. The conservatives and... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cursed Witch
Q: Shall we give somebody advice?
Yes, they proceed with lighthearted, fictional hypotheticals and practical reminders about preparedness, implying that the best answer is to approach situations with humor while offering real-world tips.
Always Dating Older Men
Q: Hi Meghan and Melissa. I'm wondering if you have any words of wisdom for trying to navigate dating slash romance in a healthy way.
The hosts advise focusing on healing attachment styles, taking time for self-discovery outside of relationships, and avoiding repeating patterns like dating much older men just to fill a void. They stress that healthy relationships come from personal work first, and that recognizing red flags early can prevent unhealthy dynamics.
Costal Elite Set the Standard
Q: Should she trust her gut about the engagement being too fast?
Her gut suggests the pace is too fast; she should slow down and have direct conversations about the future before making any engagement decisions.
I Hate My Friends
Q: How do I meet new people without destroying existing friendships?
The hosts suggest treating the exit from a friend group as a natural life transition, use boundaries, and seek new groups through activities you enjoy; stay in touch with old friends at a comfortable distance while actively pursuing new connections.
Drawing Boundaries With My Older Coworker
Q: What should the caller say to set boundaries with the coworker who is pushing boundaries?
Be direct and specific about what is acceptable and what is not, avoid ambiguous or joking language, and follow through with consequences if the behavior continues; consider reporting to HR if appropriate.
