Customer Reviews
I will be listening to your new stuff!
I loved the lightness and kindness of this podcast. It was one of the sweetest shows on air, and the world is a tiny bit sadder without them.
I’ll be tuning in to the new ones, but it won’t be quite the same
Wow, great show treated badly
I love this show. It is amazing that Ridiculous Crime is still going but this isn’t. I guess True Crime is ok, but a show about Romance isn’t. Says a lot about the world. I will check out their new shows, though I am not sure about the themes of AI and smoking. :/ I just want this show. It made me happy. :(
Fantastic chemistry and amazing show
I’ve been listening to Eli and Diana since the beginning and absolutely love their show. They cover interesting topics in open minded ways and have amazing banter that feels very relatable. Right from the first episode I connected with them as hosts and their ways of story telling. Keep sharing these amazing and ridiculous stories! Y’all have become one of my favorite podcasts.
Hope yall will come back! We miss you 😢
