Talking about Magpie parenting during a housing crisis and advertising AIRBNB are both distasteful aspects of the episode I listened to- most people can’t afford to break up and this shows you were we are at on the finance level- in lalaland where unfortunately not many people live - enough people I suppose to listen to this - it sounds like waffling and listening to bus stop talk all the near almost crying constantly is just ghastly.

Thank you

Brutally honest, sometimes cringe worthy. I appreciate this content - it is the narrative of two very savvy girls who are willing to put their personal and professional life on the edge for so many of us to find inspiration and truth. If there was ever a university degree of life, it is the PHD subscription to Anna & Polly.

Amazing podcast

They discuss a lot of really hard hitting topics and the way it’s delivered is always spot on
It’s led me to listen to so many more great podcasts and buy many more books
Definitely give it a listen! You won’t be disappointed!

The conversations on this podcast are such a breath of fresh air, I have just binge listened to five episodes and I loved every one of them and could connect with each one, which helped me to understand how I feel about so many personal yet critical things in my life as a 52 year old mum and single woman (on bumble!) thank you! Thank you to my friend Lou to introducing me. I have now shared with two friends.

Amazing podcast

Inspiring, intelligent, emotive and with such humility. Whilst the guests discussions are interesting, Polly and Anna are so entertaining on their own that it’s their chat that I look forward to - gorgeous X

Absolutely love the podcast, you can’t help but feel the warmth and contagious humour of the presenters, Polly and Anna feel like I’m chatting to my friends - openly and candidly about parenting, shared home life and taking the piss out of each with affection and care. Love their choice of guests too!

Perfect balance of sensitivity and humour. Takes a lot to make me LOL but these ladies manage it every time. I’m the same age and it feels like I’m listening to my group of friends and the issues really resonate. Makes you feel seen and less alone. Thank you x

It’s the podcast of “why don’t people talk about this more”

This podcast talks about everything that really just needs to be said. It covers the beautiful and devastating sides of topics that all women and mothers can relate to, and is carried along by this lovely nurturing friendship between Anna & Polly which the guests also are welcomed into. It will leave you laughing your head off and crying (sometimes at the same time). Like having a good rant with your girlfriends….

Just the best podcast ever ⭐️

This podcast is quite honestly, the best thing to have come into my life in the last few months. I love the refreshing honesty and openness- the laughs, the tears and everything in between. It’s the only podcast I’ve consciously checked what day of the week it comes out on because I know I will love it. I wish I had best friends like Anna and Polly but thanks for being the next best thing!

The BEST podcast for women & mums

This is the most refreshingly honest podcast I think I have ever listened to about the challenges of life as a woman / mother, the changes you go through and the feelings involved. Listening to this has normalised so much of the struggle I have been facing internally.

A hilarious, heartfelt and honest listen

This podcast is a must-listen, and is most certainly not just for mothers. Anna and Polly manage to skilfully navigate some incredibly tough and triggering subjects with integrity, honesty and well placed humour. If we could all just open our hearts and be as honest with ourselves and others as they manage to be, then I really do feel the world would be a much better place. This podcast does an incredible job of helping you to realise that you are not alone, and no matter what you’ve been through or are still going through, you’re just a human being trying to figure life out without an instruction manual and so is everyone else! I look forward to every episode!

Great podcast

Just listening to the episode with Anna Williamson and it’s like listening to her talk about my birth and the trauma which came with it. I completely resonate with her comments about anger about not having the birth I wanted and resentment towards my husband for getting rest.

Fantastic podcast!

Thank you for this amazing podcast and the high quality interviews. It feels like sitting down with like minded friends, laughing (sometimes crying) and airing the best and worst bits about the juggle of the motherload; relationships; having a career and just generally being female and of certain age in this world. It brings light relief but also a deep satisfaction at hearing these issues discussed openly, honestly and intelligently. Please keep it coming Xx

Great podcast

This is my go to podcast. A chance to feel like you are with your oldest closest friends while they somehow read my mind on things I am feeling or experiencing in mum life without telling anyone! Alone in a new country this podcast is my daily check in with a girl gang! Unmissable and unbelievably good!

Love you both!

This podcast is a revelation my daughter sent me the link and I started listening. Well I had to ring my daughter and question why she recommended it to me, she said it had very good parenting help! She is right but it’s great for all ages of women and is amazing. Keep going girls wish I had you to listen to 35 years ago. I am also an advocate of Polly’s skin care regime so the advice given filled me with joy.

Bit too much talking about themselves

Good topics but a bit turned off by the amount of time spent talking about themselves and (uninteresting)details about their lives rather than talking about the issue, strategies to move forward or letting the guests (or each other speak). First 10 minutes of every podcast so far talking about absolutely nothing really 🤷🏻‍♀️. Bit boring tbh. Not sure I’ll carry on listening.

Perfecto

You have both filled the void of adult conversation, muffled cries of my child, the whinging of teething and put a spring in my step again.
I have laughed and pee’d my pants (literally blame pregnancy!), cried alongside the hard moments in listening to what resonates so well but mostly you have made what has been the loneliest of maternity leaves feel like I have friends in my ears making me feel human again. I frigging love you both so thank you x

Great balance

This is the only podcast I’ve stuck to, have never wanted to listen to more than one episode of any other podcasts before but Anna and Polly are the highlight of my ‘me’ time. Always making me laugh out loud - making me look like a nutter on my dog walks; I love the balance of proper best mate chat plus shining a light on so many serious issues I’d never given myself the time to think about. Thank you so much, I think you’re great x

Clever, funny, and compassionate while discussing really important topics, with brilliant guests.
The friendship between Anna and Polly is like listening to your own friends, and is a real joy.
I’m not in the habit of crying at podcasts, but hearing the raw emotion from guests and the issues discussed is emotional and really makes you think about important issues.
I’ve also laughed my head off, this podcast has plenty of funny too!!
Have a listen, you won’t regret it.
