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.
Thanks for your great episode from a year ago on the Bay Lake Tower! It was a fun episode full of interesting information and good tidbits. You sounded like you had a great time with your mom and your daughter. Priceless memories!
