Customer Reviews
My favorite ear candy
I love how thoughtful, empathetic, and insightful these three are. Listening is the best part of my week. It’s a joy to listen to these three distinct voices talk about their lives, the world, and how we move through it all. Every episode gets me thinking and inspires great conversations with the people in my life—I couldn’t ask for more from a podcast!
Love /hate
Love because they give me hope, inspiration, personality, perspective and keep me up to date on the toughest news in a way that doesn’t burn me out. Hate because I embarrassed myself on a crowded bus was laughing so hard.
Followed Sam but stayed for Saeed and Zach
After Sam’s show was canceled, I searched his name to see what other shows that he was a guest on. Love the conversations on Vibe Check. Love that you unapologetically speak about what is happening in Palestine whereas other pop culture podcasts seem to have some sort of self censoring going on. Keep up the great work. Side note, Sam thank you for 3 ingredient spaghetti sauce, I made it and it was delicious.
