“Kirsty Rice keeps it real. I love that she treats all her ‘fatties’ like friends. I really don’t think there is the ‘Insta’ Kirsty and the real Kirsty- it’s her, the real her - and I like what I hear.”

“Love the show ladies. You’re so awesome and relatable and bring important topics to the table. I give one less star only due to the quality of the sound of the podcast. The sound levels seem to change for each presenter and I find myself having to adjust the volume depending on who’s speaking....”Read full review »
