What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I absolutely love this show. It is what I listen to when I need to ease my post election anxiety. There friendship brings me so much joy. Nicole Is a delight to listen to and is an absolute comedic talent. Sasheer is also amazing and so funny. And I watched Agatha All Along just to see her ( patty lupone and the rest of the cast as well) and she absolutely blew my mind. Love them so much.

The dichotomy of these two wondrous souls together is giving life. The way I identify with Nicole’s chaotic whimsical outbursts & Sasheer’s delightfully dry anecdotes is *chef’s kiss*. LOVE this podcast. LOVE pink.

Bennettbutter · Oct 2024

My partner and I were returning from a trip and I was leaning on him and he had to ask why my body was shaking so much. It was because I was listening to best friends and couldn’t stop shaking with laughter. 1000/10

Sarah Butts · Aug 2024

Love the pod so much but always skipped the “besting eachother” episodes because recording with the friends separately always felt so jilted. But this new format is perfect! Oscar and Mano played off Nicole and Sasheer so well it was an absolute joy to listen. Please keep this format for future guest friends episodes!
