Customer Reviews
I Love listening!
Angie asked me to be on her podcast. I started listening to “do my homework” and prepare to be on the show and now I’m hooked! I have learned things about every person I’ve listened to... and I’ve known most of them for more than 20 years! Highly recommended 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Everything I’ve been wishing for
To put it simply Angie is doing the podcast I wish always existed and now it does! The best of burlesque and real heartfelt interviews. So excited for future episodes
Delightful & Informative
Even though I’ve been a voracious burlesque enthusiast for 18 years now (and a performer for 8 of those years), I have been learning so much about our burlesque community through his delightful podcast! I look forward to each new episode. Highly recommend!
