  • Love Island

    I started listening because they put up episodes the fastest. I love it except when Logan puts on a blaccent. Really takes me out of the fun times

  • Love the Project Runway recaps!

    I've been doing a project runway rewatch and I was delighted to find this fun, engaging recap. One suggestion: is there a way to make the recaps of certain programs easier to find? I wind up scrolling past a bunch of shows I don't care about to search for the next PR recap. Enjoying your vibe, thanks!!

  • Annoying Intro

    I listen because I’m hungry for drag race content, it’s slightly cringe but I can get b passed that. But the intro is too long, too scripted, and it really annoys me that they ALWAYS talk about their merch in it and say the line “and we ship internationally so there are no excuses.” Actually I have a great excuse: I don’t f*ing want it.
