Fave pod!

Love listening to these two ladies! Great conversation and banter, and covering all things topical and interesting for the week. Enjoy hearing from the experts too! A great pod for the drive to work or whilst walking the dog!

Love Jacqui!

Love everything Jacqui has to say, she is so intelligent and has such an insightful view on all topics covered. However, Alicia is unbearable to listen to at times. It feels like she is just looking for an argument and is giving mean girl vibes!

Jacqui is great!

Alicia is too much! Her options are so “high and mighty” like she is above everyone else.
