youba97 ,

please loosen up

the joy of tig and cheryl was the meandering conversation and stories of their own and i know it’s not fair to compare anyone to tig notaro, but this podcast is really not comedy anymore.
it’s a review now, with lots of swearing
i don’t know how you can get the magic back but please try.
it is my comfort to listen to eps of tig and cheryl true story and i haven’t heard one from the new dynamic that cheers me up or makes me want to listen again.
i know i’m just a listener and i don’t expect the same but tig and cheryl was such a winner and we could listen with the kids and there were so many happy distractions
i don’t really care what the host thinks of the podcast, let alone a blow-by-blow critique
your hook is that you are a bit of silly nonsense loosely tied by a doco
i listen to the tig and cheryl episodes to feel better.
i don’t know how or if you can but what you have now ain’t it

I was just laying peacefully in bed listening through my airpods and I woke my husband up from laughing. Laughing. Out. Loud.

Thank you!!

I have a very busy stressful job… I’ve been working in vaccine manufacturing for the majority of the pandemic and it has been hectic. I find it hard to unwind on the weekends and stop myself thinking about work.

Listening to Tig and Cheryl while I’m tick tackin’ around the house or having a wine has been the best thing! I can’t tell you how many days you have lifted my mood and taken me out of my own thoughts.

My husband likes the show too and both of us get around telling friends and family that they need to listen to it… we start cracking each other up by interrupting conversations with “there’s no way to know” and confusing everyone with “scram clown”. I’m yet to convert anyone but I feel confident that eventually they’ll get sick of us talking about Tig and Cheryl and get on board.

When you spend so much time working it’s nice to be able to come home, switch on a podcast and feel like you’re chatting to good friends… who are talking about a show that they mostly can’t remember watching, aren’t concerned about recounting with any accuracy and are struggling to stay on topic.

Keep up the great work!!
