Enjoyable

I really enjoy this podcast on the whole, but for the love of all that's holy, can Jameela please stop saying 'feck' (but the real word, not sure if it's allowed on iTunes!) all the time?! She sounds like the swotty kid at school that is trying to be in with the popular kids and thinks swearing makes her sound cool It doesn't, it's embarrassing, and at one point one of the guests is even clearly shocked and kinda calls her out on it - so cringe.

The bit I like best is probably the bad dates emails sent in - I'd love for that to be a larger part of the show, as it can feel a bit like Jameela chatting with her mates sometimes. Which would be fine if I knew who her mates were, or if it were the same mates every week that I could get to know. But as is? No, bit too much chat and not enough bad dates.

I really wanted to enjoy this

But it’s so American. Forced laughter. Maybe it’s me - the guests are awesome but it’s hard to listen to between screeching forced laughter. Just chill everyone, you are successful, funny, talented people, relax and talk in a normal way….

Want to love it

Love Jameela and the concept of this pod, but some of the episodes feel like the chemistry is very forced. Sometimes the laughter/banter feels fake and awkward. I’ve listened to 100s of hours of Jameela talking to people on I Weigh and have never felt this so I’m not sure what’s happening
