Customer Reviews
Best Crooked Pod!
Alyssa + Erin are something special! Throw in excellent guests like Naomi Ekperigin and it’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Even in 2020.
Informative, Candid & Inspirational
I’m a 51 year old white woman and appreciate this podcast immensely! I have learned important things, gained empathy for others & laughed out loud. This podcast empowers me to do better & be better! Love when Naomi is participating!
Love this group
I usually hate shows that are a group of people chatting over topics but Erin and Alyssa and the rest are such a wicked joy to listen to. As good as the interviews are I could listen to them just talk on life and issues for an hour. podcast hosts are pretend friends in your ears and that’s kind of a bummer on the state of the world — that this sometimes feels like the new way we hang out but that said these are great pretend friends to have.
