What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I do love this podcast but it’s so inconsistently put out. It seems like the hosts are constantly taking sabbaticals on other projects? Like every week either one of them is gone or else the podcast just doesn’t come out that week at all. Good listening just wish it was more consistent.

tomhen7 · Dec 2024

I could do without the gratuitous Taylor bashing, but, on the whole, I really enjoy this podcast. Unlike other pods, I actually like that it’s really long. I’ll put it on and clean my house or go about my business and it keeps me happy. Also, I know this is an exceedingly particular thing, but I really, really appreciate how the hosts DON’T talk over each other. They give each other space to speak and it’s so refreshing and easy to listen to.

Vaquera76 · Dec 2024

You all have spoiled me for other interviewers of people in show business! I just love how you are able to get people to share their true experiences of the work, their inspirations, and give them the space to really represent their craft and point of view. As Louis would say “a pleasure to listen to.” Look forward to it every week!

JoZiah10 · Sep 2024

**Update: PLEASE listen to your show before it comes out! I don’t know if it’s me but the editing STILL needs work. Sometimes the show cuts off at the end of the episode with no warning or I re-hear parts of the show (like on interviews) after just hearing it. It’s REALLY distracting, PLEASE work on this. This is my FAVORITE Podcast and I’ve definitely come out of my little box by consuming pop culture I usually don’t explore but listen to the show before it comes out. Love you guys! I came to the party late but I’m all caught up so I’m listening to old episodes which I LOVE😍One thing that STILL needs work is the editing…not sure if it’s just me but on a handful of episodes (this new one included) I hear playback of the same parts I just heard. It’s pretty distracting because I LOVE the size of the episodes but it throws me off hearing the same thing in a row. KEEP it up🙌🏾
