So I heard about this show from Hrishikesh Hirway from the West Wing podcast. It sounded like fun so I tried one episode….i laughed and smiled and said things like “oh no” and “oh my gosh” and “don’t do it” out loud.

Kelsey, the prior host, made this podcast incredible. The new host is not good—at all. I still listen from time to time, but it has really gone downhill now that there is a new host. Please bring Kelsey back!
Incredible show, incredible guests. All the smartest, hottest people listen
