This show makes me feel seen for the most random reasons and always lifts my spirits. It also keeps me up to speed on just enough political trash to not be clueless, while saving me from a pit of despair. My friend who told me about the show (thank you, Krista!!
) calls it “balm for the soul”, and no truer words were ever spoken.
Like a cool kid hang out with your two smartest bestest friends. Desperate times call for Swamp Person Pod! Please…if the first half hour of 7/2/26 pod is any indication. Please bring it soon!
My husband and I save each week’s episode for Sunday when we get breakfast and run errands. People in other cars must think we’re maniacs the way we’re laughing together but whatever, it’s our favorite podcast and favorite part of the weekend. We love Text Me Back so much!
Alert! This is a funny podcast! My favourite thing is when Meagan and Lindy speak French. What is Text Me Back about? Things they like and hate, and they explain most cultural references and inside jokes I think! One time they mentioned Ontario hahahahaha.
You are the WGP. Two wonderful women: Smart, funny. A sheer delight. You are World’s Greatest Podcast
