Always Newsworthy ,

Honestly Would Recommend

It’s fun and exciting to hear new perspectives. Not sure if I always agree, but it’s neat to just listen a s podcast of Tommy’s friends having conversations about serious stuff while also just enjoying their time together and laughing. It’s refreshing from some of the more structured and rigid podcasts I often hear.

A delightful & Informative Piece!

What a lovely listen! 1:1 offers a refreshing break where friends tell stories, share learning experiences, discuss topics, and exchange giggles. Newsom gently guides the conversation without dictating it.
Each new friend brings diversity to each episode. You won’t tire of it! I promise!
