I appreciate Katie’s humorous conversations with her friends and perspective on American life as someone from Ireland. This podcast will put a smile on your face if you are having a stressful day! One of my favorite podcasts 👏👏👏
I don’t listen to a lot of podcasts. But this one is worth the download.
It’s witty, funny, and warm. And Katie Boyle is an absolute delight to listen to either on a podcast or in her standup. I just hope she tours to my city someday.

I LOVE this podcast so much!
Australia is big !
Had to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back.
Big thanks from a dub in Sydney made my drive fantastic amazing work.
Podcasts keep me company while I clean up after dinner, fold the laundry, etc. Since finding Katie Boyle’s podcast I actually look forward to my evening (and weekend) chores! Conversation about real experiences/timely topics with light humor mixed in.
Unfunny enough to question why/how she is a comedian. Her “good girl innocence” isn’t charming.
This podcast is dope especially the host and I’m digging the vibes.
I recommend The Shift to anyone who appreciates informative and entertaining podcasts.
I love this podcast! Informative, and entertaining!
Hilarious podcast
Love some of the topics, caters to such a wide audience - there’s an episode for everyone!! Katie never pretends to be an expert in anything she really lets the guests tell their stories and always keeps an open mind 10/10
Katie is so funny and smart and her guests are too!
I’m glad this pod exists. It makes me laugh and makes me feel normal!! 😆
Love you girl and Billy,really enjoyed your episode with Billy. Learnt so much!
Funny, fun and a great listen
I love The Shift! Katie is a great host and I love all of the guest. It’s a fun podcast where you can learn lots! Definitely tuning in every week.
Came upon this podcast from listening to Des Bishops podcast and I’m really enjoying it! It’s lovely! Refreshing to have these open and honest talks with no filters about the world of sex and relationships. Plus, I love Katie’s Irish accent!
