United States2 months ago - Too many ads!
I enjoy this podcast and love to listen to their stories and their take on SEC sports, however, the ads have gotten absolutely ridiculous. You cannot listen to this and set your phone down because every five minutes there’s a 1-2 1/2 minute ad break. Ads are fine, I understand they have to make money, but it feels like they’re just talking around the ads to fulfill their sponsorship obligations.

Apple Podcasts5Becky D WVUnited States6 months ago - The only podcast I NEVER MISS!
I’ve been listening to this podcast since I was introduced to Sophie and Melanie’s books about 10 years ago.
I pre-order every book they write, fly to their live shows when I’m not traveling for work, and am a Patreon subscriber. They are the best treat I give myself through the laughter and product suggestions they give each week. I absolutely love it- thanks y’all!
