In addition to being a delightful and relatable listen, this podcast will make you sound smarter to your coworkers and/or boss on a wide array of topics. One of my coworkers was talking about tick bites and how it impacted her husband’s allergies to meat. I shared some facts that I learned from the pod and my boss told me I was “very smart”. Definitely recommend!
Fabulous hosts and interesting topics. A great podcast to learn a little, laugh alongside the hosts, and quiet those common anxieties.
This podcast has life-saving information. But I am now afraid of my garage door.
Absolutely recommend this lovely pod, a great listen for anyone who has anxieties and listen we all have anxiety. So give this great podcast a listen and discover anxieties you never knew you had.
We should all be so lucky as to have a true friend with which to share our anxieties, the big things and the small things. These two are such a good fit: funny, genuine, sharp-witted and smart. I smile when I listen. When an episode ends, I can wait for the next one! And I know I’m not only listener who is making a list of the anxieties I would add to the encyclopedia.
