I love this podcast. It really is humorous, thoughtful, and delicious. K&K are smart and witty, and they love each other, and they aren’t afraid to say random quirky things. I listened to all of the seasons over the past few months. I wish I had started listening sooner, but I also think...Read full review »

I love that this podcast gives me sports, yoga and book recommendations all in one. So fun to listen to the K’s banter together :) definitely a fan!

But seriously, I love this podcast. I came for KB, having taken yoga classes with her in the past, but I’m staying for KF cause I, too, enjoy a well made oatmeal raisin cookie. Love these people, love the topics, love it all - including those final moments of comedy and heart.

Loving the Inky Phoenix book club & my monthly read- as well as the opportunity to hear you guys chat with the authors in down-to-earth and thoughtful ways. Love that you are writers yourselves, as well as two delightful & funny women to listen to. I’m a big fan! Thank you!

Puzzling how no one has mentioned how incredible the VERY END of this show is! Start to finish, a pleasant way to spend 45 minutes and hearing from such a wide range of authors this season has been fun. Got here via Glo, stayed for the silly banter and thought provoking culinary quandaries....Read full review »

I hate to be Switzerland, but I can’t decide can’t between hard vs. soft? Both are excellent. As the old saying goes, Isn’t that why they make chocolate and vanilla ice cream? Ice cream is about all the choices.

Quirky, funny and you never know what they are gonna say....I find myself laughing out loud and talking back in agreement with these two the whole time! The intelligent dialogue with Authors, always educational and so fun hearing them talk about their process, even if I have not read their books....Read full review »

I love both of you so much! I feel like you both represent aspects of my identity, and I want nothing more than to hang out with you all and do yoga, share books, talk grammar and eat cookies ❤️ Side note: thoughts on the Oxford comma? I was resistant at first but then I realize life is nothing...Read full review »

As a self-proclaimed OG listener, I’ve loved the pod in all of its various iterations and directions! Kate and Kathryn’s commentary never fails to bring a smile to my face, and I’ve loved every guest and conversation they’ve had.

Free Cookies is a thoughtful and playful podcast, and I always just feel better after having listened. I love Kathryn and Kate’s thoughts and banter before and after their guest/topic. They both foster a unique perspective that then leads to engaging questions and discussion with their...Read full review »

If you’re looking for a new podcast, give this one a try. It’s a lovely mix of humorous, intellectual, and entertaining. This wife and wife duo are sprightly and fun while “on air” which often lends positive energy to my WFH day. I’ve discovered fantastic books via their recommendation and I’m...Read full review »

No matter what’s going on in the world there’s always something thought provoking and the podcast is always worth listening to whether I’m familiar with the guest, topic or not
jordan akajdunl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/21
I picked this up after a bit of a hiatus and found myself that crazy lady running through the woods cracking up to herself. Listening to these ladies is like catching up with fun friends over for a bottle of wine - the conversations are always interesting, witty, and peppered with idioms (or...Read full review »

Listening to K & K wrap up the end of year, thank you for keeping the show going. Thank you for adding InkyPhoenix to the mix! The book club was a gift for 2020 reminding me that books and story are the escape to better mental health - especially in chaotic times. Having a curated list AND...Read full review »

I love the conversations, the rapport, the cookie content... I've especially enjoyed the latest season discussing books and book writing and and have been introduced to many fantastic authors and their work consequently. Keep up the fantastic work, K&K!Read full review »

I have been listening to this podcast since day one - why I haven’t rated all this time is beyond me! I have been a fan of Kathryn Budig’s for years because of my love for yoga. Upon discovering she had a podcast, I was delighted to meet Kate Fagan, her lovely and amazing wife. The two of them...Read full review »

I really do enjoy this podcast so much. K&K can be really ridiculous and thoughtful in the same episode...and I appreciate that. It’s also nice to witness their respect of each other as wives and co-hosts. A total joy.
BreezyMa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/20
I’m hooked! Kathryn Budig and Kate Fagan bring intelligence, humor, keen insight and wit. I learn something (or about someone) thought-provoking each week and value the blend of intellect, wellness-focused discourse, coolness, and literary exploration. Much like a good chocolate chip cookie, this...Read full review »

Really enjoyed the latest episode on photography... but mainly here to say that ‘Bleeding Love’ is an absolute TUNE👌🏻
ElaineBucko via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 09/04/20
The hilarious commentary, the animated, passionate personalities of both Kathryn and Kate that literally pop out of the audio, just love it all. Each guest is though fully chosen and so insightful. Never regret listening to an episode, always gets me smiling.
TY Exp Fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/14/20
Learned about Free Cookies bc I follow Kathryn on Glo.com. I look forward to all episodes with Kate & Kathryn, and learn so much every time I listen. They are pretty much my new favorite running “partners,” and I enjoy getting the miles in while learning from their perspectives. I shared...Read full review »

I LOVE this podcast. It’s everything I want in a podcast. I’m running out of episodes and I’m sad about it.
Haley Renee :) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/20
Holy moly, do I love Free Cookies and Kate and Kathryn! It’s like when you sit down with your best friend and your minds are blown about how many exciting and brilliant things you talk about but then can also talk about how you’re a terrible pooper. It’s literally the best of both worlds, and...Read full review »

I am so enjoying listening to the back episodes since I’ve been caught up for awhile.

It is fun to learn about the process, the inspiration, ups and downs...Read full review »

The current season is the best book club someone could ask for! Kate and Kathryn ask these authors intelligent and interesting questions. I’m reading even more than usual to keep up! Their love and humor is contagious. Kate: Oatmeal. Rasin. All. Day. Long.

I started listening to this podcast because I am a fan of Kathryn Budig. Although I love Kathryn, I have found Kate’s questions to the guests to be incredibly insightful and thought-provoking, and it’s apparent that she is an excellent journalist. I will also add that I side with Kate - I love...Read full review »

I love listening to Free Cookies! The banter between you both and the silliness lighten my mood. Thank you for sharing your stories and sending out positive messages to the world! And of course, thank you for growing my book reading list! Much love to you both.
RoseYoga via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/20
I hate writing reviews but it broke my heart the thought that Kate and Kathryn didn’t have any and were sad about it. So here it is. A big Yey for one of the most instructive yet funny podcasts out there. I have listened to all of them and bought so many books by now that I feel like they are my...Read full review »

This podcast is truly inspiring! I’m so lucky to have learned w/ Kathryn in her 2014 Aim True Yoga Teacher Training, and I’ve also had the pleasure of chatting with her and her super-kind wife, Kate over lunch a few years back. I still remember the conversations we had full of curiosity
Ashley St. John via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/20
Just wanted to say that I am a HUGE fan of Free Cookies!!! I listen to this podcast all the time and I recommend it to everyone! Sometimes I wait a few weeks so that I have multiple episodes to listen to because binge-listening to this podcast is way more satisfying than a tv show binge :D
Kdoysitsitzjf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/20
I can’t even tell you how much I love this podcast! I have been a huge Kathryn Budig fan ever since I found her gem of a yoga dvd “Aim True”. She inspired me back in my heavy yoga days, and now she is inspiring me to reignite my love of yoga from following her on Instagram and listening to this...Read full review »
