  • I love this podcast.

    How many of you are familiar with “laughing therapy?” I cannot remember if it is simply a Southern European therapy that my aunt used to practice on me and my sisters, to make us laugh, or a neglected global therapy that costs nothing to practice.

    It worked like this: my zia Antonietta, definitely not my zia Angelina, would begin to laugh like a mad woman and before you knew it was contagious: me and my sisters would start laughing, with tears in our eyes, without really understanding why. more

  • It’s a lot of fun!

    I enjoy this podcast a lot! The hosts are a lot of fun and often outright hilarious! The anecdotes they share about their lives sometimes just leave me rolling on the floor! They are obviously wonderful, long-time friends and truly care for each other.

    The movies and books they have seen and and read have opened my eyes to new genres and classics I knew nothing about before. I’ve had great fun exploring the movies and books they recommend (or not)!

    My only wish is that Melanie would give ... more

  • Hanging with friends

    These two are so fun to listen to. Their conversations take the same twists and turns as mine do with friends. Interrupting each other to make a joke then inevitably “where were we...”? Just fun.

    I like hearing about the movies they’re watching and how they tie it to books.

    Spoiler alert... they spare no details when they rehash a movie. 😉
