  • Not worth the listen - thanks to one person.

    Beverley Wang is an incredibly rude, self interested individual that completely ruins what could be a great podcast. I’d recommend for Hannah, but definitely do not bother wasting your ears on Beverley. It’s a shame that the ABC employ people who clearly don’t care about their work or the industry they’ve chosen a profession in. When she goes, the quality will improve drastically.

  • Absolutely love this show

    Bev and Hannah deliver outstanding, hilarious, and incredibly insightful overthinking week after week. Absolutely love this show and can’t wait for Thursdays when it comes out.

    Particularly loved the analysis of Season 4 of The Bear. If I could offer one suggestion: a big theme in this season has to be the ebb and flow of grief, alongside time passing and relationships with parents.
