    This was the first podcast show I listened to. I was hooked S1 and was disappointed that there was no S2…but here we are. Everyone did a great job from production to the characters. Issa don’t miss! The story telling makes you just want more. * turns on insecure for the 11th million time lol 🫶🏽

  • More more more!

    Thank you to the cast and crew!! I was so skeptical of listening, because I worry about not being able to follow the characters simply by their voices. I’m so glad I gave it a chance. This is phenomenal. I’m sad that I’m almost done. It’s that good!!

  • Hooked!!!

    After the first few seconds of S.1 Ep. 1 I was hooked. I binged the first season while getting ready for a concert. It’s fair to say that I was late to the show as I couldn’t focus on getting dressed and out of the house on time. I related to X and Jerod for different reasons. Excellent listen!!!
