FitnessPro6520 · May 2025

This show instantly transports me - like I’m talking with a chic and wicked smart friend over a vodka martini at a jazz bar downtown. Like listening to a high brow fashion blog: Attitude, intelligence, and an independent take By experiencing this original podcast which is somehow a mix of poetry and commentary - I’m infused by your creativity! It’s infectious! So… MK if you are looking for nominees for another podcast to support - THIS IS IT!

KLMS713 · May 2025

Sasha is a reasonable voice with a creative approach to her podcast. She articulates and presents everything beautifully, with a calm demeanor, a touch of humor and a lot of grace. I really enjoy listening to her podcast.

VB2025 · Mar 2025

Needed a break from my normal slate of pods and saw this as a recommendation. After reading Sasha’s “cancel” story, I decided to take a listen & have been hooked ever since. Her delivery is a little chill, but it’s clearly the words of a talented journalist. The Zelensky episode is a favorite, as is the Oscar’s episode. Enjoy!
