  • Cannot praise enough - EHG is the GOAT for me

    Listened to Tara, Sarah and Dave for a decade in the US. Moved to UK and had to resubscribe. Théy are my US lifeline and bring me joy all the time. I have littke TV access (or money for it) but I know what to watch because of them. But mostly listening to them is my absolute entertainment. Subscribe, get the extras, and listen to all past eps - you will not regret!!

    They waste time making stupid liberal quips when they could instead make useful comments.

  • Disappointed

    I usually look forward to this show. Especially how sharp and funny the co hosts and guests are. BUT the hate they showed to Meghan Sussex was off putting. Especially since I too love bird song and cook, can, and garden.
