Love hearing Kelli’s takes & deep dives into everything I grew up with! Would love a deep dive into dating shows like Shot of Love & Flavor of Love. Or shows MTV couldn’t get away with now, like their show Bully Beat Down
Love the new series with Lex and Sam!
Kelli is an aficionado in her realm. She also has such a calm but silly energy that is just a joy to listen to.
I just love Kelli’s take on all things pop culture. Her podcast is super entertaining, it’s like listening to a friend chat. When the world feels heavy, her podcast (and Beyond the Blinds with Troy) is what I gravitate towards. Keep up the good work x
Kelli is hilarious. Love the variety and niche of topics . I relate so much as a fellow millennial fan girl! 🤩
