  • Interview skills

    I love the solo eps sm but the interviews always become useless. Payton will ask 2-3 questions in the beginning then the whole ep turns into the “me and Joe” show and she talks about herself and fiancé the whole time without letting the guest speak. I was so excited for the episode with Les but per usual the convo fell off a cliff after the first 15 min or so and Payton never let her speak after that.

  • Love

    Love the solo episodes so much! Feel like they’re very relatable!! I like the interview episodes too, but I feel like there isn’t enough time given to the interviewer to talk. It’s more her talking, answering her own question and then rounding about to a different question at the end.

  • The cosiest pod

    I just listened to my first episode and already know that this pod is going to be a staple for a long long time. Listening felt like drinking a warm cup of tea, cosy and comforting and exactly what I needed to relax and feel good.
