Christiana’s odyssey through pop culture is delightful. Each guest different from the last and the ease with which she masterfully manages the conversations is impressive. Most surprising to me is the way in which I end up engrossed in topics I didn’t know I cared about (K-beauty). Christiana is charming and challenging in equal measure and the guests are great too. A podcast that feels like the perfect potion of your favourite dessert, just enough to keep you wanting more.
