  • superficial

    Great idea for a podcast but the hosts seem to not know what they’re going into. Would be nice to challenge whatever the guests‘ topic is with some scientific facts, concerns or deeper questions. This is lacking information and is imo actually deceiving and possibly promoting things for all the wrong reasons. Would not tune in again

  • Insightful and interesting

    I love this show and I’ve shared it with other people in my life too. I miss the anonymous voicemail episodes! They were so intense and was wondering if you guys are open to doing them again? Just my opinion! Thank you for a great show and keeping me company when I need to listen to a podcast 🫶🏼🖤✨

  • Fact checkers?

    I’ve listened to a lot of these shows. Some are obviously legit like when interviewing people in their profession, but others are quite sketchy. Like the one with the psychic. She was a complete fraud. Or the man who had gay affairs all the time and his wife didn’t catch him. I think these guests are just talking about their bizarre fantasies as though it’s reality, and the audience is none the wiser. I don’t know how well these guests are screened but I really doubt their authenticity. ... more
