My Best Friends

May 22

Collany

Listening to this show makes me feel like I have a group of best friends who are keeping me up to date of all things that entertain but do not matter. And not judging me of knowing about the latest photos of Justin Trudeau and Katy P. The only reason I would contemplate dropping a star is because past episodes get archived and I’m sad I only discovered them a few years ago because now I’m missing out on so much lore. But I won’t hold it that much against you. Much.

I have heard this podcast recommended many times over the years and had never listened. Today I was working from home with a cold and needed a friend and Knox, Jamie and Erin had me laughing so hard.
I just know we’d be best friends….

Love listening to you banter and your reviews are spot-on. You know that scene in Notting Hill where the sister follows Julie Roberts into the bathroom because she just knows that even though they’ve never met they would totally be best friends? Consider me following you into the sound booth. Keep up the crazy! Your Canadian best friend 🇨🇦👏
The best podcast there is
