- Our go-to podcast
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.

Apple Podcasts5mollymo3United Statesa month ago - My best para social friends
This show is so silly and fun and funny. I’ve followed Lindy since her days writing scathingly hilarious movie reviews where I immediately said I need so much more of this voice! I don’t really listen to podcasts but this is the exception. I love the micro, midi, and maxi segments and all of the inside jokes these two let us in on. I’ve taken to singing crazy lady living in a bag when I non sequitur which is often! Anyway if I could give extra stars I would. Love this pod.
