  • Falling Man episode

    I love that this podcast is usually fun, lighthearted and there’s always a laugh to be had, but this episode was so different. Falling Man was such a heavy story, and you handled it so beautifully and respectfully.

    I honestly think you’ve taken the podcast to another level with this one. You could really feel the care that went into telling this story. Absolutely heartbreaking, but incredibly well told. Thanks Rosie.

  • Frustrating

    Love the podcast and stoked that it’s back but pretty frustrating to be paying for content that only sometimes appears? The lack of consistency is totally fair when it’s free but if you have a paid service then the service should always be provided or refunded/explained if it’s unable to be provided

  • Southern “accents” on the Dolly episode

    Rosie insisting on doing a weird accent on the Dolly Episode is so annoying, why is she doing that, imagine if she did an episode on Michelle Yeoh and insisted on pronouncing things in an Asian accent. Distracted from the episode and felt like she was making fun of Dolly’s heritage which Dolly was proud of and was the whole point of the episode.

JTG MINI: Charlie Javice, the Girl Boss Scammer Who Tricked JPMorgan Into Buying $175 Million Worth of Fake Emails
Q: What was the core claim about Frank's impact on students and financial aid?
The hosts explain that Javice portrayed Frank as a game-changing tool that would help first-generation students access financial aid more easily, but in practice the platform offered limited real value beyond a simplified form-filling process, using aggressive PR to imply broader impact.
