A breath of fresh air
And an antidote to feeling overwhelmed by the sausage fest that is American life.
Ozempic update
This should have had a trigger warning for ED. Unfortunately I’ll need to unsubscribe because this was triggering for me and I am unwilling to put myself in this position again.
Beautiful work!
This podcast is so enjoyable. It is impactful and fun. Love it! (Also, and total side note, I LOVE that your commercials are lighter in sound and pleasant to hear. So many podcasts over the years have have been ruined by ads that are 10x the volume of the show and are a dumpster fire of sound chaos. It’s startling and makes me unsubscribe sometimes to even to shows that have been my favorite for so long. Quite ads make me listen in, and not just turn off the podcast. Sorry this part was longer than my actual review of your show, but your show is fire and you know that :)
