This is my favorite Heated Rivalry podcast! Declan & Silvan have wonderful insights and their voices are so pleasant to listen to.
There is a kindness and an emotional intelligence to this podcast that is sorely lacking in any other HR conversation that I’ve tried. The hosts seem to actually be listening to one another, rather than simply waiting for their turn to speak. The guests are well-curated and the discussion is focused on the psychology of the characters. I just love it!
Two delightful hosts (and occasional wonderful guests) take time and care unpacking each episode as well as side topics like women in the series and the psychology of characters. I appreciated the thoughtful analysis they bring and the great chemistry they have, and I can't wait for more episodes! I'm totally planning to listen along for the "book club," and it will be my first time reading the series. Thank you Declan and Silvan for bringing me back to the cottage!
Such a lovely journey. You’re both so thoughtful and insightful❤️
So glad I found these two. I resonate so much with Declan & Silvan as individuals. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve felt seen. Love their take and perspective on my new obsession, Heated Rivalry.
