love the gossip ,

Ronin Farrow

Oh poor Ronan, such a self proclaimed martyr. This one was one big… let me pat myself on the back for how wonderful I am given all the injustices I’ve experienced in the world. Usually episodes are fun funny and entertaining. This is so boring so self-involved and honestly hard to get through. I do love the show and usually laugh out loud.

best pod yet

ronan and you three together = greatness!

Great guests

Very interesting ensemble of hosts. Great because they all have different takes on guests & their questions. My ONLY beef is that they can get a little too “insider showbizzy” sometimes. (Ex. “Oh yeah, that year was in London,” or “Do you know Theroux?”)

Otherwise, it can be a very fun listen.
