Liz Wolf had the voice and vision for podcasting!

As an avid podcast listener I feel the voice can make or break a podcast. Liz has a voice I can listen to over and over. Her topics are relevant and current. The guests are just as exciting and knowledgeable leaving the listener feeling charged with great knowledge. I look forward to this podcast every week!

Thank you Liz!

Thank you for bringing the pod back to life- love the different angles of viewpoints and pure education on all of these topics! Thanks for being such a great learning source!

Needs more focus

Was very excited to see BB back but after the most recent episode with Michelle Shapiro-I have a headache. I miss Diane and don’t feel Liz’s unfocused personality is enough to carry this show IMO. What is the purpose of this show? Paleo, diet, IF?!? Ugh I have a headache again. Please provide a better structure for a professional pod.
