RobynM.N ,

Great podcast!

If you’ve ever found yourself watching your favourite reality tv show thinking to yourself “these people need a good therapist”, then this podcast is for you! I enjoy her balanced & insightful takes on the reality tv shows I watch. It’s especially satisfying to see someone who’s willing to call out people for their bad behaviour & the damage it does to others. Thanks Bish!

DanaTheCool ,
