As a Gamecock girl, I feel your pain. I also believe PM has ruined Gameday and I refuse to watch. I miss Alyssa on the sideline or with the men desparately. Also miss Jordan Rogers. ESPN (SEC) has ruined Saturday for me.

United States10 days ago - Too many ads and unfortunate recs
This has become a 45-50 minute podcast with at least 10 of that being ads. It’s basically one big ad with a little pod thrown in, and ever-shrinking.
Also, nothing says “I’m a Christian and a Christian writer” like “this show I like has horrible language but that doesn’t really bother me.” (Actual quote from Sophie.) She also clearly has church hurt she doesn’t want to talk about…so stop vaguely referencing it because we are drawing conclusions that may not be true.

Apple Podcasts2Random funny girlUnited Statesa month ago - Melanie’s Crutch Words Ruin the Experience
Long time listener here. Melanie, I’m begging you, get a handle on your crutch words. It used to mainly be Melanie saying “like” three times in every sentence. However, in the past year Melanie has added “I’m gonna tell you,” “Let me tell you,” “Listen.” Melanie, let me tell YOU… it’s a podcast and we are already listening.

I started listening to the Big Boo cast after hearing Sophie as a guest on another podcast. I have since read books by both her and Melanie. I find myself drawn to these ladies week after week, feeling like I am spending time with friends.
