    i have been listening to the pod for years and always turn to it, especially when I feel i have nothing else to listen to. Kelly and Katai make me feel like I am listening to a conversation between me and my friends. I cannot even count how many times I have listened to the Lost Boys episode from years ago - truly one of my favourites. Thank you for giving me something to listen to before bed for so many years 🤍

  • Almost 10 Years and still my favorite!

    Just refreshing my review since it’s been a while. I can’t believe we’re approaching almost 10 years of Teen Creeps! This podcast still makes me laugh just as hard as it did at the beginning. It’s accompanied me on so many road trips and walks around my neighborhood. I go back and listen to old episodes sometimes. Thank you to the hosts for doing what you do!

    I’m so happy I found this podcast by happenstance, and now I’m a huge fan! Kelly and Lindsay have such spectacular chemistry, I find myself cackling alongside with them during each episode. If I could add a few more stars, I would. 😃 Thank you for being so awesome!
