There are plenty of podcasts out there talking about pop culture. What makes this one different is the chemistry the hosts have with one another. There is no awkward dead space - only good solid insight mixed in with plenty of laughs along the way. Plus the celebrity interviews add an additional touch that isn’t often matched. I love this show.
