Highlight of my week

I’m in Melbourne and listening to Vibe Check is the highlight of my week. The dynamic between the three hosts is hilarious - I always enjoy their discussions on everything from books to pop culture to movies to politics. I really can’t recommend Vibe Check enough. When I hear the intro music my mood instantly lifts. Thank you from down under !!

Love these ladies

Could listen to them for so much longer! The only thing wrong with this pod! Not long enough hahaha. For real though, the most beautiful, affirming, and entertaining cultural commentary! Definitely one of my modern scriptures!
