  • Please, no more “second thoughts”

    I’ve loved this podcast for years, I look forward to it on Saturday morning and am thrilled that it’s back to twice a week. But please, get rid of the second thoughts section and bring back the rant wheel or create something new. Reflections is self aggrandizing, clearly weird for the guests, and not interesting. Please reconsider making this a regular segment.

  • Love it

    So glad you moved to 2x week. Love the show. Don’t understand the real housewives or Bravo stuff, maybe you’re getting paid for it, I just fast forward. Miss the rant wheel.
