Just what we needed. Another celebrity interview podcast. Nothing to hear here.
Never listening to it again if you’re a single mother with 19 kids and need a break don’t listen to this.
This show is such a delight 😊
Lives up to its title. I gave it 15 minutes across 2 episodes, and want my time back. Avoid wasting your time.
My new favourite listen. Alan Zweig is smart and hilarious; Katie is a great foil, and the guests always have something original to say.
