    I love a good Golden Girl podcast but can the man stop talking over the woman all the time, we’ve got enough of interrupting men in the world.

    Obsessed! For years I’ve hesitated to listen to a GG podcast, for fear it might not live up to my expectations. I was so dang wrong! I just finally embarked, starting in Mar, ’26. Now, being Jun, ’25, I’ve listened to hundreds of hours, and a decade worth of podcasts in 3 months, finally mid-2024. Haha :) As sad as I’ll be when I catch up to real time, I’ll finally be able to participate in all the fun things I’ve missed out on through the years. Cheers to Kerri and H. Alan for all their hard wo... more

  • What episode should I listen to like this podcast?

    I’ve tried listening to a few episodes but I get tired of the hosts taking about what they are going to talk about or just themselves and never get to it.

    Is the real content only for patreon? I’m not going to bother if I can’t get hooked listening to the podcast. Sorry! I tried!
