  • DO NOT GET RID OF THE QUESTIONS

    Don’t listen to what Reddit says, they’re the opinion of people who don’t listen to the podcast anyway.

  • Came for Todd, stayed for Lina

    my only complaint (complaint about Todd's content in general) is that they don't give a lot of background. i'm not super into music like our hosts so it'd be appreciated

    also personally i love the "thespian, equestrian, singer? we're gonna give it to him." every week

    The fact you joke about Katy Perry’s career yet yours is having this negative & failing podcast

  • Shout out to Lina!

    I came here from Todd’s channel, and while I love his insights, Lina really brings the podcast over the top. Her blend of hipster tendencies and unapologetic kitsch is delightful and I have found myself smiling about her off-kilter observations on multiple occasions (I no longer can hear “Gigantic” by the Pixies without thinking about her musings, for one). Thank you, Lina, for your beautifully insular contributions.
