Awful. Tone deaf. Annoying.
Privileged woman with a wealthy husband LARPing as a “journalist” who constantly pretends to be ”busy” and “stressed” while being comped free cruises and dropping such hard-hitting takes like churros taste good.
Carlyle’s Very Amusing is an auto-listen for me. The guests are interesting, her reporting is engaging, and her hot takes are spicy. I love how honestly *and* enthusiastically Carlye reports on theme parks. And above all, the joy she brings to every single episode is effusive and a true gift!!!
If you love theme parks this is the podcast for you
I have so much fun listening to these episodes. I don’t get to go to theme parks as much as I wish I did, so I get to live vicariously through this podcast. It is fun and upbeat, and I wish Carlye were my real life friend - the way she dishes the news and her honest opinions, it feels like she is. Also love the listener calls and the voicemails from her mom. So sweet.
