I LOVE Kathleen Madigan and have since I first saw her many years ago. She is hilarious! I listen to her podcasts while I clean my house. I hate cleaning, but her podcasts get me through it. I only clean my house when her latest podcast comes out. I also love listening to her read books for my bedtime stories before I go to bed. Nite nite Termite 💕

Makes Cleaning Up Much More Enjoyable

I've followed Madigan for years as a stand up comedian. During the pandemic, I discovered her then new Pubcast. it's absolutely fabulous company...driving, relaxing, cooking...a friendly, intelligent, happy human is sharing relevant, interesting, generally non controversial subject matter. A wonderful companion for any day!

Great company!

Love her. From the delivery to the unusual/underrepresented news (which includes vital snack reviews), Madigan delivers, as she always has from the second she debuted on Comedy Central. As one of the "children," I hartily endorse her.

P.S. The furry community has always been very inclusive and the butt of a many a malicious joke and abuse, Thus (I assume) they are the natural allies of trans-people in these times. Anyone who values freedom and bodily autonomy is a natural ally of trans-people. Not a furry termite meself, but know enough about furries to answer that question from the end of your 141 episode.

I love Kathleen. She is my favorite comedian. I have been listening to Madigan's Pubcast since quarantine. I have never heard an episode I didn't love. This podcast is informative and funny. Kathleen also makes sure to keep updating us when new things happen with the topics we've already heard about on here. Very well put together. I couldn't thank Kathleen and Paddles enough for giving me something so special to me. This is the highlight of my week.

This is the only podcast I listen to.
