  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

My Friend is Always the Drama
Q: Hi Meghan and Melissa. Long time listener, first time writing in. I am 26 female and my friend is also 26 female and is bisexual. I've been with my husband for four years and married almost a year. I'm also prior army and I tend to be pretty direct and solution oriented. I'm writing because I'm struggling with a friendship and I don't know if I'm being too harsh or if my feelings are valid. My friend constantly plays the victim.
The hosts acknowledge the pattern of one-sided drama, validate the writer's exhaustion, and advise setting firm boundaries, considering stepping back from the friendship if the dynamic doesn't change, and seeking support from trusted allies rather than acting as a therapist for someone who isn't applying the given advice.
He’s Focused On My Butt
Q: What's the correct way to leave a friend's house after hooking up?
Leaving a friend's house after a hook-up should ideally be casual, without overthinking the interactions.
He’s Focused On My Butt
Q: How to be supportive of a friend in a relationship with an older poly partner?
It's valid to have concerns about this relationship and it's okay to express your feelings without judgment.
DBM: I Need to Get Railed w/ Jerah A. Milligan
Q: What do you think the caller should do about her feelings towards her ex?
You should give him another chance to see if the sex improves, but if it doesn't, you might want to explore other options, including your feelings for your ex.
He Shushed Me
Q: Do you agree that a grown man shushing a woman and speaking over her is infantilizing and disrespectful?
Yes, he should be confronted as it's setting a precedent that such behavior is acceptable in the workplace.
