Kitchnic ,

Fabulous show.

Thank Ladies for doing such a great job. I learn something new everyday. I am a second generation Dry cleaner. With a passion for vintage And heirloom restoration. I work hard at knowing all about textiles and fashion. Listening to this podcast helps me learn even more.

Delivery needs work

These podcasts have great content but the host regularly mispronounce commonly used words in English vernacular. It makes them sounds like they don’t know what they are talking about. Get a fact checker or just listen to how words are pronounced on Google.

J’Adore with One Irritating Drawback

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts. A wide variety of interesting topics, and so well researched; I have learned so much. However, the constant sometimes smug sounding giggling, it’s incredibly annoying. I thought perhaps it was nerves, in the early seasons, but you’re now into season 7 I believe; it seems to have only gotten worse. You’re both laughing at the most inappropriate/random times; I don’t understand it. It comes across at worst, disrespectful to your guest and the subject matter and at best makes you sound like vapid mean girls. I know you’re both very intelligent woman who are very enthusiastic about your subject matter, but I’m not sure I can keep listening. April: “Also too”. ?! Come on!! Go back to English 101.
