One of my favorite podcasts
There’s something deeply comforting and cozy about this podcast in a way I can’t explain! Jess is an amazing interviewer and I love the combination of subjects like Queer culture, pop music and Bravo.
All the way obsessed…
This podcast has changed my lexicon entirely. I’ve been following jess’ career for years, even back in the Autostraddle days. Jess was the lead interviewer on AS and the evolution here shows. I look forward to each week to learn and catch up with the CULTURE QUEEN. Keep it up girl!
a body of work
Originally discovered Hot Takes & Deep Dives through the YouTube algorithm Rosie O’Donnell interview. Happy to say I subscribed and am consistently impressed with the caliber of guest AND work ethic Jess clearly puts in. 👏🏼 What a body of work! 👏🏼
