  • Rae Sanni / Summer House is fun!

    Best takes on the SH drama! You’re both so awesome at being able to discuss all sides to this mess, especially the nuances in that there is no perfect victim and everyone is being exploited.

    This is literally the only podcast I listen to where I get to giggle, nod my head, and not roll my eyes!
