  • Fave podcast 🖤

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years and it’s part of my Monday morning routine now. I love how no celebrity or topic is off limits to criticism and discussion and it allows me to hear opinions that are different or new to mine on people Im a fan of eg Taylor swift. It’s like listening to a discussion between your mates and joining the membership has been one of the best decisions I made 🖤

Lovely ladies, interesting and intelligent discourse where friendship makes earnest conversation, and sometimes even disagreement possible. This podcast makes internet discourse feel less jarring because it is discussed throu... more
