Just Vibes for My Ears

Do I care about pop culture? No.
But I love her voice and the way she’s articulates her thoughts. Best podcast when my ears need to be soothed and happy

Used to be a huge fan but her thought-pieces are not thought out at all. Saying women don’t look like they’re smart? Constant tangents…. Much better with guests.
