Customer Reviews
informative fun feminism
I loved the new format. The topics were informative and engaging (i know - super cliche review response). I feel like I grew in my feminism listening in, particularly about the Sofia Vergara-Melissa McCarthy body issue and the underlying double standard. Loved Jackie's recap and how important it is to have successful women - even when we don't agree with them. Can't wait for the next episode!
These two are Great!
Seriously one of the funniest shows out there! The thoughtful conversations peppered with hilarious banter makes for a very entertaining and informative hour. The humor is the best part of the show. The way Jackie and James react to each other is spontaneous and clever. Never disappoints.
