  • Good for the female soul

    Listening to Julia’s interviews with different female celebrities is good for your soul. If you want something to listen to that will make you laugh, learn, and just feel inspired, this podcast is perfect! It’s like getting to sit with your wise grandmother or a special godmother. Especially love the traditional questions she asks each celebrity at the end and the fun chat with her mom to wrap up each show. Listen. You’ll love it.

  • Amazon?

    I love this podcast so much, but seriously AMAZON? Seems almost sacrilegious to host the fabulous Cindy Lauper on such a platform. Sadly won't be listening to that, and WHY?

  • I really enjoyed the podcast. The decision to go with Amazon Music is disappointing as they're not available in all regions - from my perspective it's a bad decision.
