    I love this podcast! Craig has such great and nuanced conversations that you don’t always hear on other pods. I especially love his friendship with katie maloney, the #1 chick on bravo. We’ve been rooting for katie since day 1, and seeing her thrive without all that dead gaslighty weight has been amazing!!! Also very inspiring to watch her make the very difficult decisions she’s had to make for herself lately. So grateful that everyone is finally seeing what we’ve always seen!
