Customer Reviews
3/13/24 episode
i just wanted to say i was so encouraged by olivia and becca touching on the political state and their personal feelings about the upcoming election. as a very political person who is terrified of another trump term, i am really looking to people with a platform to use it for the good of our democracy. love all your episodes but just wanted to say thanks for the bravery involved in discussing politics on a non-political podcast.
Wednesday fave
BOP is the first podcast I listen to in my Wednesday lineup. I could listen to a 3 things episode weekly if Becca & Olivia ever wanted to up the episode count to 2 per week 🤞.
So fun!
I was an early listener because I loved Grace’s blog (which I still enjoy) but I stopped listening in the middle because I was bored by the interviews and Grace’s anecdotes just didn’t resonate with me. THEN Olivia joined and I’m obsessed again. So fun! Keep up all the bookish and routine and writing content please!
