Germany10 days ago - Love you but…
I’ve started to realise my peri-menopausal brain can’t cope so well when you interrupt each and speak over each other. I know it’s because you’re excited to talk to each other which I love but I’m struggling to follow when you do this :-(

United Kingdom13 days ago - Emily, please let Jessica talk
I adore this show and what both of these fantastic critics have to share, but Emily constantly talking over Jessica drives me batty! Please let each other speak- the interruption and crosstalk makes the otherwise fantastic content difficult to listen to.
Also, I wish you named the pod Flesh Mess. ^_^

United Statesa month ago - unsure
want to love this buttt i absolutely can’t stand interrupters if you can let each other finish sentences im all in
Apple Podcasts4overgrubhub72United Statesa month ago - So happy when new episodes drop!
My favorite podcast! Emily and Jessica are hilarious and smart, and I am always excited when I see they dropped a new monthly episode. One critique is that the audio could be improved and can lead to a frustrating listening experience, but don’t let it deter you! They are the real deal and I look forward to anything they put out.
