Spooky & Sassy

Wow! I love these ladies! Not only are they hilarious, but also so intelligent in their areas of expertise. I love how they think of all sides of whatever they’re talking about! Erin’s laugh is the cutest, Sarah’s sass cracks me up, and Morgan is just all around hilarious.
PS thanks Wes for editing the pod 😊

Ear piercing

I am from St. Louis and was excited to listen to this episode, my first of the podcast. Between the horribly uneven audio and ear piercing shrieks, I couldn’t make it more than 10 minutes. I suggest if these girls want to compete with more popular shows, they invest in better equipment and stay on topic.

My girlfriend recommended this podcast to me, and I can’t get enough of it! Love the ladies of the pod - I think we’d all be best friends. Look forward to it every week
