- Love
I love love love this podcast.
It is so fun and I feel like I learn so much about things that bring me so much joy, without having to defend liking them.
I love the whimsy, I love the depth, I love that it doesn’t ever take things too seriously while also taking them very seriously.
You have no idea how important this has been to me personally over the past period.
Love.
