Tig & Cheryl

I love watching documentaries. My partner does not. Often I want to hear what others think so I love to hear the hosts thoughts. Also, I like having suggestions for documentaries so this is perfect for me. I see that newer shows don’t have Tig in them so I am wondering how that happened but I am sure I will find out!

Still my favorite podcast of all time

Thank god for the archives- they are getting me through some tough times. Miss Tig, sure, but also miss Cheryl’s giddy humor and delightful voice. Love to the snrkbols out there ❤️

Love it! (& documentaries)

Found your podcast when I was falling down a Dolly hole… Parton of course.
I’m always searching for a documentary- and I found you! Can’t wait for more. Thanks for including where they can be accessible. I have lotsa options, but it’s super helpful when you know where to stream them.
