  • I think this podcast makes me 25% cooler.

    Listening to this podcast makes me feel so cool. It’s like overhearing a conversation at a coffee shop with the two ladies you’d love to be friends with but, like, you don’t want to interrupt their vibe.

    Anyway, love the podcast and all the conversation it generates in my life. Thanks for thinking seriously about pop culture!

  • Not for me

    I was excited about listening to this podcast because the snippets I heard were really interesting. But then I pulled up the Lily Allen episode and only got 15 minutes into the episode before I quit. You all are a bunch of haters and I was disappointed in how you dog piled on Lily Allen. I'm not a superfan of hers, but you were harsh. Be better served putting all that negative energy into becoming better humans.
