  • I feel like I’m in therapy 😀

    Kara,

    I’m so happy I found your podcast. The first one I listened to was with Tim Gunn. Love him!

    I feel like I’m therapy while I listen.

    Thank you so much!

  • Great interviews

    This is a “go to” for my interviews with unique perspectives. The subjects are not there to promote something so you get an interesting, almost conversational interview. I’ve enjoyed listening to people I know nothing about.

  • Tim Gunn - so in-depth!

    I was amazed at what Tim revealed and could have listened to this go on even longer! I’m laughing how Tim was sort of dissing Heidi but now he’s doing Making the Cut with her. Wonder how she feels about what he said about her in 2017? Never heard in interview where someone revealed what he thought about people he worked with when he was still working with them. He needed to vent and didn’t care!
