  • Love it!

    This is a super fun, low stakes (in a good way) podcast. Ike is one of the funniest and nicest (and apparently smartest) folks in Hollywood and to be a fly on the wall while he and Mindy K. (the best!) talk, laugh, and share stories had me smiling the entire time I listened. Can’t wait for week two!
