  • My all time favorite podcast

    I discovered this podcast when I was a tween and questioning being aromantic and asexual, and it has practically raised me in the years since then. So entertaining and relatable and comforting. “Noodles: Aromcom” will always be real to me.

  • I *really* want to like this podcast. Truly. The longer it goes on, though, the more judgemental they become on things that are outside of their experiences and comfort zones. Instead of diving into why people do the things they do in relationships, they'll dunk on them and call them "pathetic," while giving different people and situations a pass based on fragments of information.

    This podcast *shines* when they've a third person of for interviews, though. The conversational rapport is primo.
