I don’t know why I held out for so long…then just binged it! Suzanne is really good at interviewing people. No loose ends. I like that she keeps it simple for some of us. New must listen for me.
I look forward to listening to this podcast every week while driving. Suzanne does an amazing job interviewing each guest with fun and authenticity. It’s hilarious and I never know what they’re going to talk about, in the best way.
I’ve always felt like Suzanne and I were friends (not in a weird way). So when she started a podcast, it was an immediate follow. I don’t know much about the comedy world and I followed her for her political takes so the podcast it’s self is actually a nice break from politics and general doom in the world and feels like I’m chatting with a friend on long drives or when I begrudgingly do laundry. Love her!
I am chronically online and always connected to politics; this podcast is a way to stay plugged in but also is so damn entertaining. I look forward to Tuesdays for this little ray of sunshine. ☀️
I was delighted to run across this podcast, as I’ve been a fan of Suzanne’s content for a few years.
I don’t understand, however why Fox News is at the front of the ad portfolio. It’s not “wrong”, it’s just a hard clash with the brand- and I hope that it’s reconsidered.
