  • Well researched

    I like this podcast. I’m a mom of two young ones- age 5 and 2.

    I’m taking off one star because they backtracked on their V Sole-smith episode without seemingly asking her for comment. Not that they need to- they’re not journalists, they are podcasters. And while they had good points in their Intuitive Eating Part 2 episode, I just get very defensive about the topic and whole heartedly agree with Virginia.

    I say all this as a a survivor of a terrible eating disorder and someone who grew up in... more

  • Great Thanksgiving episode!

    This episode is full of good ideas and recipes. I have usually hosted Thanksgiving but we will go to my parents' this year. I will roast the turkey breast Wednesday and reheat at their house. Started a shared Notes app to keep track of what everyone is making. I am going to try Ina Garten's mushroom leek bread pudding and the Bon Appetit cranberry lime pie.

  • Tricked into listening to show about suicide

    I’m a big fan of pressure cooker, but today’s episode (while still using the name and graphic of pressure cooker) was replaced with a completely different show talking about a suicidal teenager. I listen while I drive and was completely taken by surprise when the show took such a dark turn. If you’re going to use my subscription to your show to trick me into listening to other shows, it’s should at least be an equivalent subject matter.
