There are few moments more off-putting in season 4 of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" than when Jessi Draper's husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, earnestly tells the camera that "DadTok is a lot funnier than MomTok." But in a way, it also sets the tone o... more

  • Insightful, thoughtful, funny - I love Emma and Claire

    I started listening to Here to Make Friends around the time it began and it’s the only podcast I’ve been a consistent listener of. I have continued to watch the Bachelor franchise just so I can fully enjoy the podcast content, and I love that Rich Podcast podcast covers other shows and issues (in addition to what they cover on Love to See It). Emma and Claire’s commentary is consistently insightful and thoughtful, and often makes me laugh out loud. In a country and world that grows increasingly ... more

  • Recap request: the og Mean Girls!

    Long time listener back from here to make friends!! Came for the bachelor but I absolutely love your movie recaps, particularly when you’re discussing older rom coms and culturally significant hits. They tend to be fascinating and jarring at the same time, and I feel like you guys really give that nuanced feeling and complex topics justice!

    That said after rewatching Mean Girls(Tina Dey’s ofc) for the first time since I was 15 (I’m now 28), I absolutely must hear your thoughts. Not only did I ... more

  • Such a fun listen!

    I’ve been listening to Claire and Emma since their “Here to Make Friends” days and I love this podcast feed. I have often wondered what Claire and Emma think about pop culture materials other than The Bachelor so this is great! Even if you’ve never listened to their other podcasts, if you are interested in discussions about pop culture with a critical but lighthearted lens, you will love it!

  • My two faves

    I started listening to Emma and Claire on their Bachelor recap pod, which is my only go-to out of the many out there because I love their unique feminist slant and analysis.

    I am LOVING this content because it has such a great range of topics. I’ve had many laugh out loud moments (truly appreciate their And Just Like That and The Bear content) but also find the more serious conversations about parenthood/questioning parenthood incredibly important and intriguing.

    These two can do it all and I... more
