  • It’s fine

    There are some interesting ideas with this podcast but the execution is really off. Eilish always sounds like she is reading right off a script with the Stranger Than Fiction episodes. The sponsorships that get attached to this podcast (Baileys, olive oil etc) also just seem like odd choices.
