“I’m not typically a big fan of podcasts that just chat, but these gals have changed my tune. They have such good banter with each other while being kind, funny, insightful, and supportive- without alienating the listener. Not a pop culture girlie, but their chats help me feel connected to the...”Read full review »

Ever since then, this podcast has been my main source of current events. It's like the news station, E!, and geriatric Twitter put together. Even...”Read full review »

“So rare for a podcast to make you reflect on issues, learn something new, and laugh heartily all in one episode, and Vibe Check does it every time. The hosts are eloquent, inquisitive and funny as hell - which makes for a show on culture that is always so well thought of and well researched, but...”Read full review »
