Perfect In Every Way

I started Unqualified in December 2022 (as I’m quite new to the Pod Cast Life but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made). Listening to podcasts is like having a conversation with friends! Perfect to put on whilst working from home or doing house chores. Makes the most boring task fun! I was going to leave a review once I am up to date but now I’m at the revamped part of Unqualified at the end of 2019 (without Sim) and I just have to say the new changes have been great and well needed! I LOVED the original intro music but I just find with the new changes, a new intro was certainly needed and it’s such a beautiful melody.

I can’t wait to see how this new era evolves for when I finally catch up (and I’ll write another review once I am). As much I enjoyed the dynamic between Anna and Sim. I did notice (and I’m not sure if this is just me) the tension. And at times it was uncomfortable. Not on Anna’s part. I just think that sometimes, and (I’ve been in this situation too), working with friends doesn’t always work out (especially when one outshines the other). I’ve lost a friend this past year due to something similar, where she would always bring me down. Shoot down my business ideas but then ultimately use them and make them her own. It’s safe to say I ended that friendship ironically right before the 7 year itch! (It’s a thing).

Anyway, it’s such a comfort to listen to a fun, funny and relatable Pod Cast, with so many interesting and unique guests. It’s really opened my eyes more.

Keep up the great work and I love the improvs! They are hilarious.

Thank you for being a friend!

Love all the way from the UK, Joseph x

Love! Love! Love!!!

Such an amazing podcast! Informative interviews, both funny and thought provoking!
Anna Faris gives the best advice she can to the public and it’s so incredibly relatable! Seriously helped me through a few of the issues raised which has helped me immensely with rescissions I needed to make! Thank you so much!

So Nev Schulman is a creep

So far loving the podcast, but holy crap, I did not realize that Nev is a 10/10 creep with his virgin story?? Excuse me?? This weird obsession with virgins needs to end. It’s horrible and misogynistic.
