  • Thank you for discussing GLP1s

    I don’t write reviews, but just had to praise Maureen for developing a place to hear a wide range of cultural topics! It’s my favorite podcast…and I listen to many. Love her quick wit and use of English language.

    I was so impressed to see Jillian Michaels on to discuss dangers of GLP-1. Great coverage of the risks.
