  • SOO MANY ADDS!

    I thought I had somehow started listening from the beginning again only to realize that the same ads were being played multiple times throughout the podcast. Each ad is extremely long and slow and at this point it's impossible to listen to this podcast.

  • I want to listen, but the amount of commercials is insane

    Decent topics, but it hurts to press play bc I have to skip 3+ mins of ads every 7 mins. This is insufferable.

  • High quality production value podcast. The hostess has a lot of energy as do her guests. But, I just could not find this show relatable. I'm in the right age group demographic but I'm just a regular person. I'm not an actress, or supreme court judge. Reshma, maybe consider bringing more mainstream guests on the show like office workers, government agency employees, sales clerks, hairstylists, taxi drivers,... You get the idea.
