strphbtu ,

*This* is the HR podcast I’ve been looking for!

They had me at “butt candy.” I have listened to so many HR podcasts trying to find the perfect mix of helpful and funny. This is it - absolutely hilarious, the hosts have amazing chemistry and their zero F’s given is so refreshing. I totally understand that HR is in a space where it seems like we’re not supposed to be funny, irreverent, good god…swear! But modern HR (or in my world People and Culture) isn’t a bunch of Marys if George Bailey had never lived. It can be sweet (again with the butt candy) *and* spicy. Love this podcast. Informative, fun, and the stories are…well…not shocking because we’ve all seen this $h!t, but at least we know we’re not alone!

Kruthie ,

Absolutely incredible

Laugh out loud funny, jaw dropping stories, incredible pitch and cadence between the hosts. I love this!

DJJ296 ,

Love this podcast

I listen to every episode and share with people in HR and even friends who aren't in HR. Thank you besties for making me laugh and learn.
