  • Very soothing listen

    I love this podcast and there’s one thing that bothers me that I feel compelled to say. I feel like Ben polices Ione’s “tangents” which honestly don’t even feel like tangents to me, they just feel like a natural way of telling a story. And he even does that to himself a little bit. This is actually a testament to how much I like the podcast that I want to hear more and every time he moves it along faster I wish he wouldn’t. Anyway love you both!

  • The perfect antidote

    Have just discovered this podcast and thoroughly enjoying the sweet and funny banter between these two, their observations of pop culture, and their insider stories from the music/ film/ arts scene. Looking forward to reading Ione’s memoir and seeing Ben on tour again.

Hard to explain. Love/hate.
