Enjoyable podcast, with reservations

“I have been listening this podcast for years now. It is very personality-driven; if you like the personalities, you will like the podcast. If you are new, give it a few weeks and see if you can relax into the vibe.
Over time it has improved: not only does Tom not interrupt Lorenzo as much as he used to, Lorenzo has gotten much better at holding his own. The new segment where Lorenzo talks about things he’s learned on TikTok is very fun. Tom has an encyclopedic knowledge of “nerd” culture such as Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Star Wars, etc. and is always worth hearing on those topics. In general they have interesting takes on a wide variety of popular culture and all forms of media, as well as the UK royals. I enjoy their “day in the life” ramblings about cats, decorating, and travel. The two men obviously enjoy each other’s company, and it makes for a fun and comforting listen.
Tom does have a couple of tics I wish he would address: when he expresses an opinion about realms he is not a part of, he will preface his remarks with something like, “I, as a person who is not *fill in the blank* (Black, straight, a women, Native, etc.) perhaps shouldn’t weigh in on this but...” and he then proceeds to weigh in on it. Dude, we’re here to listen to your opinion, just give it; your listeners know what you are and what you are not and will calibrate appropriately. He also repeats himself quite a bit, often literally saying “As I said before…” or “To repeat…” If you already said it, don’t say it again!
Finally, I think the guys need to accept that they can’t produce the podcast on a regular schedule. It drops *roughly* weekly, usually a bit longer, and they take frequent breaks for holidays or other commitments. Some podcasts hew to an extremely reliable schedule, some don’t. This one doesn’t. It’s fine. No need to apologize every week.”

“I love Tom and Lorenzo's website- it's an interesting and catty take on fashion, though I don't read most of their TV stuff because for the most part, the shows they recap really aren't to my taste. I started listening to the podcast because they stopped recapping RuPaul (which is...”Read full review »

“This is a fun podcast just finding its place. I’m not interested in the RuPaul commentary, so I usually listen to a few minutes of that and then skip to the middle to hear their take on other topics. Definitely an enjoyable half-hour in my week.”

“I love their podcast and look forward to it every Friday. I enjoy listening to their knowledge on fashion and what goes on behind the scenes of red carpets, movies, magazines, etc. I also like that they elaborate on different entertainment (movies/shows) that I may not otherwise have considered...”Read full review »
