Kindred in the Worst Way!

Unfortunately we share the same singleness curse. Maybe too open with our sexual needs and a little too witty for the average dude. Nicole is fantastic and brings out a different side to her guests. Love her cuteness and vocalizations. Yay!!

I love this podcast so much. My favorite episodes are the live versions and this one had me rolling. Hilarious wise cracks between friends, hilarious questions from audience members, a little surprise in there too! A must listen episode!

Silly, fresh and funny!

I have listened to this podcast for several years. i absolutely LOVE Nicole Byer! She talks about modern dating, therapy, and her life as a working actor and comedian with such humor and honesty. I feel like I have been a fly on the wall while Nicole has gotten more and more successful and happy. She makes me laugh amd I love her!
