Listen to the pod but Mallory’s laugh is annoying asf
I discovered this podcast a few months back and instantly knew I had a new pod to listen to! Love the content and discussions.
Mal & Jo are the Gold Standard of fandom podcasting. They are exceptionally passionate, highly intelligent, unmatched in their research and unapologetically heart felt. I doubt there is another podcast in the fandom space that executes to this level. 10/10
On the off chance Mal&Jo see this- you feel like my friends and I adore you! Mal is right about honey/pink apples. Jo you’re a goddess but the only time for a Granny Smith is to make an apple pie. ❤️🥧💚
Listening to these two go from in-depth, nuanced, insightful commentary to pure silliness, sometimes in the space of a single sentence begun by one and finished by the other, is podcasting delight
My favorite two podcasters, they make everything better! 🍎🍏
