Customer Reviews
Knowledgeable and thorough
Excellent research done for every episode. Thoughtful and witty commentary. Every time I listen I feel like I walk away having learned something. Kudos!
Hanging out
I love to feel like I'm hanging out with these people. I also learn quite a bit from them. This show is very well researched and executed
Clever and entertaining
Liz and Bill discuss philosophy, sociology, psychology, intersectional feminism and more. The fact that they discuss these heady concepts while baking dishes that pair well with the discussion is both novel and highly entertaining. The hosts do an excellent job of using layman terms while discussing these college level dissertations, poems, novels, etc. I'm never lost during the conversation nor do I feel that I am being talked down to. Despite the serious subject matter Liz and a Bill manage to keep their banter lively and often hilarious.
