Overall love it but I do have an issue
I started listening to these ladies when I wanted something lighter to listen to than the true crime podcasts I’d been playing (one can only take so much blood, death, and narcissistic psychosis). These two, especially Stacey, generally crack me up, and I find all the background information they discuss in the lives of the people they present really interesting. It’s thoroughly entertaining! However, after hearing a few recent episodes, I decided to go back and listen from the very beginning, and I noticed that in many of the episodes, at least of earlier years, Alicia really goes off on political rants (perhaps after imbibing a bit) and it’s been a bit cringeworthy at times. I’m pretty middle of the road politically, leaning more left on some issues and more right on others, and I’ve known all kinds of people with all kinds of political leanings, most of whom have added something positive (big or small) to my life. I’ve learned to accept and respect people regardless of their political beliefs after befriending wonderful people who I absolutely disagree with politically. I don’t hold it against them. However, after hearing some of the (seemingly drunken?) rants Alicia has gone on in some episodes, I get the feeling she despises anyone who doesn’t agree with her 100% concerning politics — and this would likely be me. This has been a turnoff, and it’s kind of put a damper on listening to this otherwise great podcast. Do I really want to listen to someone who may hate me if they were to meet me? My unsolicited advice: Remember that not everyone believes as you do, political differences don’t make either person a bad human being, and perhaps stick to the trashy divorce story and leave the politics at the door. I get that it’s your podcast and you can do whatever you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you SHOULD do it. I realize you probably have tons of listeners who totally agree with you, and that’s fine, but the world is a big place and there are lots of people who don’t. That’s fine too. You otherwise seem really nice, you’re funny, and your shows are really entertaining. I’d hate for people who would enjoy your podcast to miss out on it because they were turned off.

Interesting content and well researched. The hosts (cohosts?) interrupt each other way too much. Makes it hard to stay interested.

I can’t get enough of this podcast. The stories are well written and thought out. I love the variety of people covered, there is truly something for everyone. This is way more informative than any AP History class. I’m a listener for live, a real lover of all #trashcandy.

I know a little about most of their podcast subjects but these ladies are so well researched! I love the banter- keeping it real and fun. I just wish there were more episodes... amazing job, guys!
