    This is one of my top favorite podcasts. The girls are hilarious—like I’m in tears twice a week—and it’s also inspiring and I feel so seen and encouraged every time I listen. I am currently listening again from the beginning because I cannot get enough. Can’t recommend it enough.

  • Snacks pods: Misinformation

    The snack pods are my least favorite. The amount of misinformation, shallow understanding to the pop culture content they are discussing with their full chest. It’s often cringe. But Ashely and Rayna wanted another pod per week for ad dollars, guess it doesn’t matter what nonsense is put forth. Perhaps consider how the uncomfortable snack episodes are diminishing their overall credibility. Guess this is what happens when you join Dear Media.
