  • GREAT!

    I was introduced to this podcast from the 80’s tv ladies podcast and I thoroughly enjoyed the Loretta Swit episode that they had on their platform. I immediately after subscribed and will be looking forward to all the episodes. The chemistry with the 3 hosts during the podcast worked very well. Thank you for a great listen!
