  • By FAR my favorite podcast!!!

    Proud Shame More subscriber here! I absolutely love these ladies and wish I could hear them every day!!! They never play “devil’s advocate” or jump on social media pile-ons towards fellow women. They are kind and funny and sharp and witty without being cruel or snarky- truly a breath of fresh air in our current media hellscape driven by algorithms, clout-chasing and bots. It’s difficult to avoid misogyny in this app, but never with Zaz & Michelle. Don’t let the name fool you- these ladies aren’t... more

  • My interest is waning

    I’ve been a big fan of Shameless for probably 5 years or so now. I loved the Scandal episodes and do really miss them - appreciate you had covered a lot of the major ones but would love more in the future. I feel like now with the move to three episodes a week I have lost interest a bit. Dumb Stuff Fridays feels like it’s been designed for TikTok not podcasting - whose car indicator is this? Who cares!? Maybe once or twice a week is the sweet spot? I’d rather have a longer midweek episode of the... more

  • Insightful, funny and balanced

    Always interesting and thoughtful takes, I look forward to this podcast so much. I just listened to the episode about Margot Robbie and motherhood and it made me want to be in the recording studio with you all so that you could see me agree in person with everything you were saying. Love the balance of high low topics.

  • Really slipped

    The quality has really slipped. I find it offensive when they laugh about shows not being the best quality- what does that say to your listeners? The dumb stuff Friday episodes are scraping the bottom of the barrel for advertising money- guessing each other’s car indicators and foot steps??? Really??? How insulting to your listeners.
