Been a fan since day one! Big rach huge fan since bach days and Van I admire you black king and appreciate your authenticity you bring to the podcast. Y'all are such a great pair together. I look forward to tuesday and friday mornings :). I appreciate this episode specifically due to your interest in wanting to do a NECESSARY, needed deep dive into haiti. It's a conversation many people need to have and hear about and incredibly important. Thank you van for speaking on it, I look forward to hearing the discussion and even the guest you may potentially have on wooohoooooo!!

Rachel & Van are the perfect duo

I love this podcast and can’t believe I’ve been listening for about a year without leaving a review! Rachel and Van are the perfect co-hosts because they don’t just echo each other’s sentiments but bring their honest opinion and commentary to every topic. This is one of the few podcasts I can listen to with confidence that I’ll be aligned with their thinking on topics of race, politics, pop culture and more! Keep it up! Only thing I’d love is hearing more from Rachel than Van at times. Van be going off on rants sometimes but we still love him lol.
