  • A good listen when it has zero climate change secrets…

    Climate change is a heavy topic on recent episodes. Just wanted to drop this review for all of the people that see clearly through the grift… interesting show otherwise.

  • The Humblebrag Hotline

    some of the earlier episodes of this are some of the most interesting pieces of radio I've ever heard. almost all of them authentically beautiful or off-the-wall, specific and twisted in a way that people unloading information so often is. (production also unreal). since then it's become middle-class Americans yammering about how they smoke weed with their therapist, their views on Palestine, how they just asked a guy out

  • We love your show!

    My husband and I don’t listen regularly. Instead, we save all the episodes up and listen only when we have long trips. I have such fond memories laughing with him on a plane rides, passing the time on long highway stretches, having to rewind because we weren’t listening as we got lost through winding mountain roads, or my favorite - as we drove through Italy and Switzerland together.

    Thank you for producing such a great show!

Human Body Wash
Q: Did you or he have any Jewish friends at that time?
Yes, we did. We had one friend, and he was Jewish, and it didn't make any sense because, you know, we still wanted to be friends with him, and he was a really neat guy.
Moms (2022)
Q: Walk me through it. Like, how did you get to that point?
The caller shares that she listened to a podcast about the phone sex industry, which inspired her to call a phone sex line for encouragement as she struggles with chronic illness and seeks maternal support.
