  • Amazing.

    To say this show is relatable is an understatement. Totally feels like whatever you’re going through is paralleled in these talks. Super funny and entertaining but therapeutic at the same time. Don’t know how I’d get through work without it!

  • More Signal Than Noise

    There’s a million podcasts out right now, since everyone has been sitting at home thru the panera, but this one cuts thru all the noise with clearly guided thoughtful convos. Minji is a solid interviewer who knows how to draw out her guests and I love that she’s evolved a consistent tone and cozy vibe over the years.
