Love how much Tayne knows about MAFS and listening to her takes about each episode, just wish the audio quality was consistent! Not sure if she’s turning away from the microphone but her volume goes up and down which means I’m constantly adjusting my volume. Worth it though because I love her opinions haha
mollinator · Aug 2026
I’m a longtime listener of this pod, love that she recaps some less popular shows and gives really in depth recaps. Also, the dynamic between Tayne and Brian is phenomenal. Totally elevating the content.
xotay52 · Jan 2026
I always have loved Tayne’s coverage of MAFS but am even happier with her reviews of Plath with Brian! Funny and professional, they say what I’m thinking.
Jeans4Christine · Sep 2025
I look forward to listening to Tayne’s opinion of these MAFs folks every season, laughing along during my daily commute. Ade is missed but she has seamlessly kept the boat afloat with great guests and commentary.
Chenell15 · Feb 2025
Love the host and their chemistry BUT I hate the pop culture. We are already consumed with pop culture on social media. I specifically listen to hear about the show, not pop culture. I skipped through the first 30 mins to get to actually talking about the show.
