Customer Reviews
Love this pod
Stephanie and Diane are funny and smart. I love their commentary and perspective on some of my favorite pop culture tv shows, moves, and albums. Count me in as a fan of the pod.
My go-to pop culture pod!
This podcast is sooo much fun to listen to! Stephanie and DO have great chemistry as hosts, and I like that they both bring an insider perspective as industry pros. Also their conversations are really funny—it feels like listening to your two pop culture junkie best friends riffing and dishing on whatever is hot. Special shout-out to the episode on The Half of It for some really interesting insight on why that movie was culturally impactful. Highly recommend!
a nice listen
it’s nice to listen to a podcast hosted by two Asian women who are so passionate about pop culture.
