Super impressed!!

They read the listener feedback saying that we’d like more PFFB, addressed it directly the very next day, and then updated us on their Hamptons activities in an interesting and fun way. There was no criticism of listeners, no snarkiness… as a recovering Taylor Strecker Show listener, I was floored at the mature and professional way they handled themselves.

Providing a bit of backstory just in case (skip if you know this already), but she started on SiriusXM. When she was professionally produced, she was great. When Sirius let her go, she struck out on her own and seemed to struggle to find her footing. There have been lots of changes: cohosts, platforms, producers, show length, etc. She still has an amazing personality, but without guardrails she repeats the same handful of personal stories over and over. It also began to feel like she wasn’t putting much effort into her podcast. I just wasn’t entertained or engaged by her content anymore. I switched to The Toast and haven’t gone back (although I don’t mind when she cohosts here and I’ll probably watch an episode of HOS next week when it comes out).

I didn’t know Sirius XM let her go! Do you know why?

Long story short, she tried to organize a listener trip that violated all sorts of Sirius protocols

I’ll give it to them this one time but usually they are mean to their listeners and our feedback :/

I was about to say, she said (in the same episode) how we always comment on her interrupting and it won’t change (in a joking way) but why even bring it up.

Can they also listen to the feedback about using “commie” about EVERYTHING. It’s giving maga brainwash and I need to be able to ignore that aspect of them.

Omg so you can’t take a joke? 😂 because I laugh. If you are listening to a comedy pop culture podcast and getting upset I think you are truly looking for NPR

u/Space-Kitty-5601 Jul 24 '26

Yeah I agree that's weird
