  • Love Madame Glazer! (But audio is so quiet)

    Love the podcast but it’s hard to hear! Audio is way quieter than other podcasts I listen to (many). Increase the volume please because I can’t listen to you in the subway even with the volume all the way up

  • Obsessed but it’s so quiet.

    So so so grateful for this podcast but it’s always so quiet: even at full volume it’s hard to listen to in public, no matter which of my headphones I use.

  • Everything I Needed

    The length of the episodes is great for realistic day to day life. That’s what I’ll start with. But also, I left social media a while back and the truly only person I missed seeing content from was Ilana Glazer because she makes information so palatable and relatable. The mix of funny and serious is perfect. Thanks Ilana 🥰

  • Real, Educational, and Easy Listen

    I have been listening to this since the first post. I have followed Ilana since Broadcity and I was so excited to see she is doing a podcast.

    If I could give this podcast a 6/5 star review - I would. She brings the best people in to be interviewed and each episode is real, educational, and easy to understand. Sometimes I listen to an episode 2x because I don't want to miss anything.

    Keep doing this girl! We LOVE it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ben McKenzie
Q: For someone who doesn't know at all, can you just lay out what crypto is and why it is a scam?
Crypto started as a digital ledger technology with aims of direct person-to-person value transfer, but its value and legitimacy have been warped by speculative behavior, dark-web associations, and a lack of accountability, leading to a cycle where most users lose money while a small group profits.
Zoe Lister-Jones
Q: How did you come up with Slip and what inspired its themes?
Zoe describes Slip as a natural evolution from Band-Aid, rooted in sexual empowerment and world-building through a female-centered lens, and discusses the process of writing seven episodes during the pandemic, directing, and casting choices.
Rania Batrice
Q: Do you have hope for renewed leadership and a shift in the political landscape?
Yes, because anti-establishment, non-normie candidates are breaking through, fundraising in new ways, and mobilizing small donors; people are waking up to their power and demanding authentic leadership rather than staged messaging.
Chi Ossé
Q: What is your bagel order?
Chi's bagel order includes a poppy seed bagel, lightly toasted, with scallion cream cheese, thinly sliced tomato, red onion, lox, and capers.
