    EP 74: Oh My God We're Back Again (Part 346)

    EP 74: Oh My God We're Back Again (Part 346)

    This week, Lex attempts to put Jingle Jangle Jules in the hot seat and things go amiss - or do they? As these two ding-dongs chat about their creative processes, they remind one another that overnight success often takes 10 years of hard work, and that the best thing you can do for yourself as a creator is to know who you are and lean into that.

Mjochele ,

One of my favorite podcasts!

I listen to so many different kinds of podcasts…murder/mystery, deconstruction, celebrity gossip, fashion, eco-conscious, business…you name it.
The Peony is a podcast I return to again & again, because the hosts are so funny & relatable. I enjoy the banter between Juliya & Lex, and appreciate the mostly goofy but sometimes very serious topics & guests they have.
Highly recommend as a great all-around weekly podcast!

Fionnegan ,

So real

I have been working my way through the backlog of this show and I find it just so chill, funny, and interesting. Lex and Juliya are great. If you want an honest read of the world today, this is for you.

N.M. Kaye ,

So much fun!

Juliya and Lex have such great chemistry as co-hosts. It’s always a fun time listening in on their weekly conversations, which run the gamut from the history of Legos to holiday folklore to conspiracy theories. Definitely give it a listen!
