  • Non-celebrity podcast - thank goodness

    Refreshing to listen to a non-celebrity podcast....as if celebrities have more of a right to spread their opinion to hold a podcast than others.

    Most recent Up episode: one of the guests had DREADFUL audio!! Please don’t let anyone use ear buds!!!! So hard on the ears to want to keep listening. We’ll see if I make it through.

    Look forward to listening to Phil, Emily and guests every Friday before work. True chemistry is hard to come by, not to mention smart, thoughtful criticism. The 2000s series is splendid. Keep it up.

    That’s all. I keep coming back. Phil’s unreflexive masculinity keeps pushing me away.
