  • 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.

  • PLEASE STOP

    stop advertising your tragic vanity project during the intro to silly comedy podcasts. It's depressing and pointless.
