Stole the spot as my #1 podcast of all time

I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, and I’ve been to two of their life shows. There are truly no two people in the world that make me feel as seen, and as comforted as these two. Any podcasts I loved before (and still love) were very cut and dry, straight to the point, all business true crime podcasts. But I ultimately realized—without really realizing—that they were sometimes a bit too heavy for me in this world that already has enough uncertainty and darkness. The levity and the realness that this podcast brings allows me to still listen to my ideal genre of podcast, but still feel uplifted in a sense. And the banter has actually become my favorite part. It’s like the relief at the beginning of the week to catch up with two friends and get all my stressors off my chest. No notes. Please don’t ever change.💕✨🫶🏾
Here for the banter
