Witty, funny, & delightful

I adore this podcast because Chelsea summarizes memoirs (that I do sometimes read) in an introspective manner. I’m a single mom who just doesn’t have the time to read books anymore. This podcast helps me understand the celebrities and entertainment field better. Most of all, it’s a great escape from heavier topics like politics (that are pretty frustrating for a liberal GenXer female). I’ve recommended it to many of my gal pals.

My new favorite!

I discovered Glamorous Trash podcast on Instagram and as a person who wishes she devoted time to read, I sooo appreciate Chelsea and her guests for loving to read and for sharing their insights and opinions and personal stories relating to the memoirs they talk about. Thank you, Chelsea & guests! I love this podcast!

Love you but don’t agree with you

I love your podcast so much. But I am a republican. I am all for speaking your truth and freedom of speech. I don’t have a problem with that. I guess maybe stop bringing up politics. I listen to your podcast to get away from all the hate. I think you are so funny and adore you.

Also why bring up police so much. Doctors make mistakes all the time. Does that mean all doctors are horrible. I love our law enforcement and stand with them. Not all cops are the same.
