Podcast Addict5a month agoannarichey- Interesting topics but too chatty
I like the topics but there is far too much chit-chat, and laughing at their own jokes which is really irritating. After listening to the episode on narcissism, I decided to unfollow the show.

Podcast Addict52 months agoMcla- Too much unnecessary giggling
I’ve wanted to really enjoy this podcast. The topics are interesting and I’ve listened for a long time. But all the giggling from Wendy … giggling when there’s nothing funny. It’s distracting for me.
