And That's Why We Drink

I’ve been listening to this podcast since episode 5. It was actually my first taste of podcasts, and began my lifelong love. This will still remain my favorite. The humor, chemistry and heart that Em and Christine share with their listeners is reason enough to love this show. I love how much care they put into their topics, which can be difficult to cover, while at the same time being true to themselves. I have watched them come out, transition, become a parent, face health issues, face anxiety, move and watch the country face huge challenges- being on this joinery with them is so rewarding. I adore ATWWD. Thank you for doing what you do.

Whenever breaking news murder/attempted murder stuff happens you talk about it briefly in the first few minutes of the episode. Not only Trump having people trying to kill him and the interesting conspiracies but also the US citizens who have been murdered by illegal immigrants. Havent heard you say anything about Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, Lizbeth Medina, Kayla Hamilton, Maria Gonzalez, Sarah Root, Kate Steinle, Molly Tibbits, Rachel Morin (all murder victims of illegal immigrants) Just because you support Kamala doesn’t mean you should ignore these crimes.

I’m an OG listener from the beginning but lately all I hear is Christine talking over Em or correcting them about something and it’s ruining it for me, I am on the verge of not listening anymore. (Still giving five stars though because they have always been my favorite podcast)

Well, I used to like this podcast, but apparently I’m nothing since I’m only an ally. See, as a straight woman, I was just informed by Em that LGBTQ+ is the winning team, and so I’m garbage. It’s not the first time this show has taken this kind of position, but it’s the first time it’s been made so abundantly clear. Now, I can hear Em saying “listen, it was only a joke…” Was it? Probably. But these kinds of sentiments are expressed a fair amount. And after a while, the lister goes “huh…you wouldn’t keep making that joke, if you didn’t really think less of me.” I want nothing more than for EVERYONE in this world to be able to be whoever they are. I think it’s so fantastic when someone knows who they are, and they can proudly be that person. I can’t keep listening to a podcast that has - for awhile now - made me feel less-than just because I’m straight. Just the way you want people to accept you for who you are, I wish you wouldn’t continuously beat up on straight allies. It hurts. I can’t take it anymore. I can’t listen to a podcast that makes me cry just because I’m different than you.
