    My favorite podcast I look forward to all week. The breakdown on female & gay pop you’ve been waiting for. Their commentary will have you howling laughing while digesting heavy hitting gender commentary and also open your world to more and more artists, new and old, to check out. I don’t even care that I regularly catch strays as a saggitarius 🤣 5/5!!!!!
