Customer Reviews
I love this.
The stories are so fun. The guests are great. Kelsey the host is amazing - from the way she tells the story, sets up the guests for amazing conversation to her perfect variety of laughs that make the show feel like you’re at the table with them. Long live Normal Gossip!
Gripping!!
I have always liked this show but the way I was so invested in the dog grooming story pushed me to rate and review. Such a fun podcast, love it!
Wonderful Distraction
Absolutely love the podcast. The world is too depressing and this is a good lighthearted distraction.
Also, possibly a weird thing to like but the ads aren’t intrusive or annoying. They’re done “tastefully” or whatever.
Also also, we need an update on the Christmas hotdog story next year.
