  • Pierced Ears

    Amanda Dobbins seems to bring nothing to the discussion anymore. It appears Juliet Litman is doing all the heavy lifting, bringing topics of discussion that Amanda either knows nothing about or has little to contribute. Case in point, Amanda spent 20 minutes of the podcast talking about getting pierced ears. Riveting.

  • Lost its way

    This used to be a fun pop culture podcast but the content and screeching has made it a difficult listen. Amanda was relatively quiet about her personal life until Juliet had a baby, now it’s one upmanship at every turn and contrarian for the sake of it. I don’t need self congratulatory style talk when the new obsession doesn’t feel rooted in good taste or a genuine interest in fashion. And the aging chatter at every turn plays as condescending. Juliet is delightful and stays mostly on topic with... more

  • Cool

    Begging Juliet to stop saying “cool.” It’s like a nervous tick. It often sounds condescending which makes sense as she seems increasingly annoyed with Amanda.

  • Amanda the contrarian

    I love Juliet from other pods so took a chance on this one. By no means would I call this a pop culture podcast, more so just eavesdropping on two people’s conversation. The annoying part though is that Amanda is such a contrarian. I don’t think she’s ever heard of the “yes, and” concept. She shuts down every bid Juliet makes or goes against it. It’s just so jarring how she affects the flow, or lack thereof, of the convo. I’ll probably keep listening as I wind down for bed but there really isn’t... more
