    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
