Hot Mess-Terpiece Theatre - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been following this podcast for years and I love every iteration this show has taken. I adore Kristen and Jolenta. Their thoughtfulness and vulnerability and senses of humor with their lives has gotten me through many tough situations. (Nursing school, my parents getting a divorce as an adult, my partner’s chronic illness, and the pandemic, to name a few). I just moved and this season about friendship is being so helpful and fun as I strike out on yet another adventure!

P.S. I just learned that they BOTH use handkerchiefs. So cute and charming.

This is one of my favorite podcasts right now. I like the researched approach. When there’s a topic I’ve heard of, I’m excited to learn more. When I’m not familiar, I love diving into something new! Keep up the good work

Thank you for covering topics that some people wouldn’t touch, love the recent episode on decentering men . You ladies do such a great job 👏

I used to dip in occasionally to “By the Book” and always enjoyed it, but wasn’t a regular listener. I recently heard Kristen talking about the revamped format when she was a guest on another podcast, and I LOVE the direction they’ve taken and the down-to-earth approach to cutting through hype, finding the truth and value, if any, in [hot topic], and bringing context and perspective to the conversation. Thank you, Kristen and Jolenta!
