    Every week I look forward to a new episode of Still Buffering. The sisters have become my imaginary podcast friends and I feel like we would really hit it off in real life. I’ve really been enjoying the older sister dyad. Keep up the great work and please don’t ever leave us!

    I think I’ve listened to ever single ep over the years. Teylor’s takes in particular are so eloquent and well-thought-out, and the interplay is always truly fun sibling energy.
