  • Been Bingeing!

    Heard you for the first time on Nostalgia and Now and I have been bingeing ever since. Already listened to over 20 eps. Love your takes! And as a side note I love the Mix in the Box episodes bc Mark’s accent feels like home to me as a Mid Atlantic girlie!

  • Room for Improvement

    Not my favorite podcast, but I listen when I ran out of other podcasts for the week. Imani frequently misremembers things (even from an episode that came out a few days ago) and has bad information that she states as fact. I think she would benefit from taking better notes because it would greatly improve her credibility. It’s one thing to have an unpopular opinion, but bad “facts” are hard to ignore. It feels like this pod should come with a fact checker 😂

    Much smaller issue, but the ads are ... more

  • Such a good time!

    Love this podcast! Mani is one of those people that make you feel like you’re talking to your home girl, and literally says exactly what I’m thinking every single time. And I appreciate how she can tie in the shows, politics, pop culture, and her professional interpretations all in the same sentence. Always such a good time listening to you!
