Annie AJ ,

Just a breathe of fresh air. Both beautiful souls!!

Hi I’m Annie and I’m not really sure where to start but i listen to all of your podcasts and you two are the absolute best!! It’s been a wild ride since Covid and I find your conversation and topics super refreshing and current especially in the state of the world right now. I think you’re both great love listening, I live in Cali so I drive a lot but listening really helps with that. Anyway keep it up look forward to catching up on the Star Trek podcast!!!

Smart, funny and thoughtful

When I love a book series all I want to do is find other people to obsess about it with me—and this podcast scratches that exact itch for me. Jessie and Lark are smart, funny and thoughtful hosts and I look forward to every episode.

Baz’sBestie ,

My Comfort Podcast

I love Simon and Baz with all my heart. I re-read these books anytime I need to feel happy and safe. Likewise, this podcast just delivers on the good feelings, laughs, and queerness I love about the trilogy. Lark and Jessie are hilarious, and their takes on the books are so insightful. Every episode leaves me with the warm fuzzies! I honestly wish I could be BFFs with Lark and Jessie in real life so we could nerd out on all things Carry On!
