My favorite podcast!

I absolutely love listening to this podcast. I always get really excited when a new episode some out. Mo and Christina, listening to you guys talk on the podcast always makes me laugh, or smile. I always listen to this whenever I am going to sleep, doing something boring or if I just wanna have a laugh and have a fun time thank you so much for creating this podcast. I love it so much. But please, please, please do The Fault in Our Stars and Catching Fire( with Leaun Cooke!) Thank you so much!

I love Mitski and The Tortures Poets Department, and I also enjoy drawing and hanging out with my besties!!!

The best podcast

After a breakup, I started listening as it was always on my list. I started from the beginning and even though I’m still in 2022, I can positively say this podcast is amazing! Mo and Christina don’t know it but they helped me through tricky work days and hellish commutes. Were there when I was moving into a new place and figuring out my new life. Can’t wait to be caught up in 2024!
