looooooove so much. just wish the sound was a bit more equalized. many guests randomly speak quietly for comedic effect so I have to turn up the volume SO LOUD to hear them then get my ears blasted by the next sentence (happens in car and different headphones, so not a me problem)
Usually love these episodes but Ella keeps talking over Caroline and it’s so annoying! Really like you both, but please try and work on this it’s driving me mad!
My favourite podcast in the world: clever, funny, witty. Constantly analysing pop culture from a unique and original point of view. I love Caroline, I love the guest hosts, I love it all. I’ll be bereft when she takes a break but it’s only to produce more amazing things so can’t complain. Amazing job guys.
Rhea Perlman was married to Danny DeVito!!! Was waiting for you to close the loop on that. Even so, Dolly is always an amazing guest. You two make a terrific team. Five stars!
Absolutely loving the Friends Thru A Lens series! It’s such a fun, unique and heartfelt way to discuss this beloved series. ❤️❤️
