  • great podcast, please make it louder

    love love love this podcast! it’s the podcast that got me into podcasts. always giggling while listening to it. my only wish is that the audio levels are louder. i have to put my phone speaker and headphones on full volume and it’s still not loud enough for me to listen to in an environment that has any external noise. not sure if there’s a way to fix this but would really love if it was louder!! wanna hear your voices on full blast mama

  • In my top 5 favourite podcast

    This is a real comfort listen for me, after a lame day at work I can put this on for my drive home and have a giggle. Came here when Carly started the titanic podcast but stayed because I love Blair, and Carly and Blair together. Begging the girl historians to do a series on the plague! Please! Black Death! Black Death!
