Cool podcast!

Good job ladies! This is a fun show with lots of creative ideas. Easy to listen to. Keep up the good work!

Such a cool idea for a podcast!

I just found this podcast a few weeks back when listening to their sister podcast. Such a fun idea and interesting topics! The hosts are intelligent and know just what tone to take. Some of the content is extremely humorous and some is scary. Sound quality could be a tad bit better but other than that, keep up the good work ladies!

Nice job!

I have enjoyed this so far, the girls discuss interesting topics and it’s easy to listen to.
