  • It’s Sara

    I’ve loved Sara for years. I discovered her on some long gone podcast and realized this lovely lady just gets it. She has this natural ability to hold an interesting conversation and makes me giggle. I adore this podcast, the concept and of course Ms. Benincasa herself. I will sign up for anything she does.

  • My new favorite podcast

    “Brevity is the soul of wit”-I don’t remember much about high school but I do remember that quote. So I’ll keep my review brief! A funny, poignant, engrossing podcast. A love letter to all the towns where our lives were formed. An early birthday present for all Scorpios. Thank you!

  • Really good!

    I have followed Sara Benincasa for years on twitter and Instagram, and thoroughly enjoyed her humor and intelligence. So when I heard about this podcast, I was instantly intrigued and excited. The first show with Ben Stiller was great. Loved hearing about his childhood in NYC, and the whole show just sounded relaxed and fun, like two good friends just chatting over dinner. Fantastic show, I am an instant fan.
