Customer Reviews
I’ll pay the apple subscription for this show!
I started listening to this podcast many years ago when they first launched it through the Elvis Duran show.
It makes me laugh on hard days, it brings me out of my anxious spirals… and I’ll be the first to admit I have a wild par-asocial relationship with these ladies 🫣😅. I don’t know if I’ll ever find another podcast quite like this one. I’d pay monthly for this podcast if it meant they’d keep making 50 min episodes for forever and ever, and I know many others would too. Please consider that option,
much love and best wishes!!
New format
Like others have said it’s seems like one long commercial now. The conversation doesn’t seem genuine anymore with the way they segue into commercials. The topics seem to revolve around whatever ad they are putting out that week. I’ve listened for years so I’m bummed that it’s coming to an end and I get it but this format is no good. If your hearts not in it maybe you should quit while your ahead. Nothing wrong with that. I do really enjoy Bethany’s new pod cast The Check In so I’ll go over there and give that a 5 stars!
Awful new format
Love the girls and used to love the pod, but I wish they would have just ended the Podcast instead of going to this short format that’s 50% commercials. Really disappointing.
