  • Surrogate episode

    I can’t stand listening to this podcast or seeing their instagram reels after listening to their smug and arrogant opinions on surrogacy. Spoken by two people who have had successful pregnancies.

    As someone who has done 12 failed cycles of ivf with multiple miscarriages, I’d give

    my left knee to be able to have a surrogate.

  • Too many tangents

    Friday episodes are complete waffle. Last episode they pointed it out that the listeners might not like their waffle tangent, then were very sassy in saying the listeners always tell them when they don’t like things. Yeah, I don’t like listening to the decline of what was my favourite podcast. What happened to nuanced takes?

  • “Writer” hosts frequently admit to not knowing basic words

    Carnal. Automaton. If your intro contains the words “writer” and yet you frequently get stalled out on pretty basic words you need to reconsider your title.

    If you are here looking for intelligent women discussing silly things, you are looking for Mama Mia…..

  • Love love love

    Love this podcast, alternate to other 1 star review regarding the same episode, I loved your episode on surrogacy. Was refreshing to not be gaslighted on such a controversial subject (like other celebs do) and to have a normal opinion. Love your insights on all topics even if I don’t fully agree with them!
