  • Glad I was advised to listen

    I’m an IT Manager, and while spending time with my husband’s oldest friend, he asked if I knew who Kim was. I said no, and he told me I really should be listening to her—she shares a lot of great tips, and he’s learned so much from her.

    I decided to check it out and quickly found myself completely engaged. I ended up listening all weekend, catching up on both her current and older podcasts.

    She also sends out a daily newsletter, The Current, which I love. I often find myself creating reminders... more

  • AI instead of Kim and Andrew? No thank you…

    I have been listening to the podcast since it started and part of what made this entertaining was the banter and impromptu organic conversations that came with it. If I really wanted AI to read me the newsletter, I would just plug it in to ChatGPT or another engine, come back to us for real Kim.

    I’m still giving you a strong rating because the content of your newsletters is always fantastic and I can always find something to help my elderly parents or other members of my family, just miss the ... more

  • Thank you Kim!

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while now. And I was so happy to hear Riley’s voice! Of course we all want to hear Kim, but if it has to be an AI voice, Riley is great!

  • I hate the AI host, sounds like an ad

    I keep tuning in hoping Kim has reconsidered this choice. It’s so plain vanilla. Actually its plan artificially-flavored vanilla, so even worse. Bring back the actual ppl
