It was interesting but also very easy to follow, which made it even better🌸

Oh guys this episode broke my heart. I found this a really tough listen but I’m so glad you recorded it, despite the fact that must have been extremely hard stuff to discuss. I could hear how much these topics were effecting you. Keep doing what you do, because people like me need you!! And it gives me and others hope xx

I have been an avid listener from the start and believe that Alex and Em are some of the few people who don't just push one viewpoint but try to also challenge themselves with open and honest conversations. I would love this net to widen and also have guests on from even wider backgrounds. I think it is incredibly hard to tackle interviews perfectly but Alex and Em really try to get that balance and I for one have always valued and appreciated it. Plus I laugh and laugh at Alex's stories in particular because they are often so similar to my own!!

I don’t feel like you guys need to defend yourself as much as you have in your latest episode. Screw the haters !

"You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be someone who hates peaches”

My husband wonders what on earth I’m laughing at as I’m doing the housework! I laugh out load so much to your chat! So relatable….I’m totally hooked and luckily at the moment I’m binge listening to catch up! I will be devastated once I only get one a week! 🤣 also - on top of the funny content is some really insightful stuff which I really admire. Love it! Xx

I’m deaf and when Apple first did captions that highlighted what was being said so you can read along real time, this was the first podcast I ‘listened’ to. It’s brilliant. Love the mix of guests and the random direction Alex and Em’s chats go in. Always brightens my day, gives me food for thought or teaches me something new.

I really enjoy this podcast but was really annoyed that in your interview with esteemed presenter, journalist and author Naga Munchetty neither of you had read her book. Even if you hadn’t had time to finish it would have been better than nothing at all. You are women advocating for women so please take the time to do the work before an interview especially when it’s with a woman, and in this case a woman whose voice has been ignored for many years which has caused her urepairable damage.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while and follow both of the hosts on IG. They cover subjects that are important in the world we now live in and I find them so informative.

Honestly OBSESSED with this show. Both Em and Al are fantastic journalists and talk about such important topics. I’ve followed them both on Instagram forever and have binged all episodes since last summer. I look forward to each episode. Girls, you’re smashing it!

Really good podcast, love listening to the chat and the GBA!

Truly one of the best podcasts I listen to! Really funny, in depth and makes you think and reflect. Em and Alex and just brilliant and I love listening to them every week.

The body image series was AMAZING and I would recommend it to everyone!

I listen to this on the way to work every week and it genuinely feels like im listening to a chat with my sisters. Thank you so much for creating this❤️

Love ‘just us’ it’s so nice to just listen to two friends chatting and feeling like you’re part of it! ♥️ (I may need friends lol) i also love being able to listen to guest interviews when I’m in the mood for it! So it’s great to have the two sections now! Love to you both! Xxx

I’ve learned so much from this podcast and honestly think I’m a better person because of it. I love the variety of guests you have but also love the episodes that are just Em & Al cos it feels like a catch up with friends. Brilliant company on maternity leave walks! X

I get so excited to see a new episode and i absolutely adore just listening to you talk to eachother or guests, whatever the topic! Please please please do the episode with the husbands & the marriage counsellor that would be the relatable content most people need!

I love the twice weekly episode drops of SIDT, it feels like I learn something every episode or have my mind expanded by interesting guests.

Great podcast that covers lots of social and women’s issues. Mix of general chat and scripted interviews. Lots of stuff around body image etc. Give it a listen!

This is the first podcast I’ve really gotten into and have binge listened to the episodes. It’s like listening to two of my best friends every week and really helps me get through ❤️

Girls I love the just us, it’s so refreshing to hear real talk. Like listening to friends chat. Thank you for the weekly entertainment xx

Loving this podcast, only been listening a couple of months but have found it super relatable, especially being a mum to a toddler with another on the way. Love how open and honest Em & Alex are - especially enjoy the “just us” episodes.

Adore you both! I absolutely love your content and look forward to the episodes each week. Keep doing what you do so very well.

My go-to pod! I love the girls so much and feel so proud of them weirdly 🤣 highly recommend joining the SIDT gang 🫶🏻

I’m an OG listener and love tuning in every week. It feels like I’m chatting with friends! Hearing Em & Al’s take on important topics helps me to challenge myself and grow, while also enjoying some lighthearted, girly chat

Love everything about Alex and Em !!

This podcast is fab! Its like listening to friends, I’ve grown and expanded my viewpoints from listening and its also just random good fun. Love the GBA and Is It Just Me! And the body series was sooo amazing

love love love this podcast! Alex and Em have a great dynamic and cover such an interesting range of topics

Absolutely love this podcast. The body image series was incredible and I look forward every week to the new Just Us episodes.

My favourite ever podcast, thank you for making my Mondays and Thursdays so much cheerier ❤️

Girls, I think you are fab! You always have me laughing in your Just us ep’s and I enjoy your informative/thoughtful topic episodes, the body image series was so well done.

Thank you for all the hard work you put in!

I never miss an episode, it’s just brilliant and my week isn’t the same without it!

Some good content but the scripted parts sound so unnatural and bizarre, like a year 3 child reading a story book. Surely they can make it sound more natural and less robotic?!

I’ve loved this podcast from the very start but the new series on body image has made it even better, ladies you are doing an EXCELLENT job and it’s so empowering and validating to learn all about these topics! I’m a therapist working often with young girls with eating disorders and this content is literally becoming part of my CPD 😂 thank you x

I tried listening to the diet culture episodes but the scripted parts between the interviews sound like a school presentation PowerPoint slide being read word for word.

So relatable and funny. Keep up the good work! ❤️

Initially was a good listen but increasingly they seem to borrow formats and opinions from the Shameless podcast. There is a lack of research where they are discussing serious topics such as hormone replacement therapy vs natural alternatives (and a reliance on guests to have done this work for them) and Em is becoming more dismissive of Alex which does not come as kind.

Great show, love listening whilst doing breakfast and the dishwasher 🥰

Just listened to the episode about cartoon crushes and I’m shocked that Tarzan isn’t mentioned! He’s my top I’d say!

Posting this following the Blake Lively episode. It takes a certain brand of feminism to irresponsibly publish a conversation about something you are not equipped or educated enough to speak on. It would have been more appropriate to have done this topic speaking about Jennifer Lopez, as that situation has less sensitive intricacies. But she isn’t the demographic their brand of feminism cares for. If the movie in question was about EDs, they wouldn’t be justifying or complacent with the way the movie was marketed or promoted. They would condemn it, in the same way the profitable diet culture industry is rightfully condemned by them. Even if you ignore how badly they handled the DV elements, it was also a poorly researched episode. Such an irresponsible use of a platform.

Sorry, but it’s boring to listen to. Get into the content quicker. P.s. it’s ‘caps lock’ not ‘cap locks’

Disappointing to hear the way Dave consistently spoke down to Alex, felt so sorry for her.

With facts, your feelings and beautiful articulation, you are really helping to educate and bring awareness to the issue of male violence, particularly towards women, and I for one are very grateful

Used to love the pod and listen religiously but really missing the old ITJM on Thursdays and the GBA on Mondays! They were the main reason I listened in the first place. Still like to listen but the latest ep’s are a bit too heavy for me.

My fav podcast and has got me through some really tough times. Personally I love the extended chats and laughter at the start of each ep, it’s like catching up with two friends ❤️❤️

Love the girls love the show and love their relationship, always a top listen. BUT as nice as it is that they crack each other up- these sections go on for way too long and need to be edited down. 4 mins of them in quite high pitched hysterics is lovely for them but not that great a listening experience. It’s also a comprehension issue, I can’t really hear what they’re saying when they’re in hysterics so unfortunately just makes it a bit dull. Feel like a dick for skipping ahead through their laughter- but it’s just not great content for the listener.

On the whole I love this podcast. The guests are brilliant and the interviews are thought provoking and insightful. The good, bad and awkward you have to be in the right mood for and can be a bit long, being about the girls’ personal lives too I feel they’re a little introspective. The latest episode with Kaz Crossley was weirdly vague too - talking about ‘something’ that happened in Dubai with no real explanation or full details. I find this strange - if you’re going to broadcast the story you sort of have a responsibility to be open and transparent in my view. But on the whole - endearing, warm and witty, worth sticking with.

I really wanted to love this as I love Alex’s content on Instagram. However, there was far too much unnecessary chat for me and far too much personal content. Not as much focus on the guest as there was on themselves. The questions they asked to the skincare expert were largely personal to them and so I couldn’t relate in the way I was hoping to or take much from the episode.

This podcast is like having two best friends in your ears. You’ll laugh, learn things about the world, and probably something about yourself. Great interviews, great content and above all Em and Al just seem like great people. Thanks for the podcast pals! X

I’m really hoping this comes across as useful for future eps and not just a criticism- a recent podcast just made me so sad. On an “Is it just me” a listener emailed in about feeling lonely as she doesn’t have a group of friends, I really resonated and was excited to hear the girls thoughts and tips. But instead, they went on to describe how many friends they have and how easily they could make a group. They didn’t get it at all. Those connections just aren’t available for a lot of people and it made me feel even more alone. The “just reach out” made it sound so easy… but reach out to WHO. If you’re alone and feeling segregated from friend groups, you don’t have that someone to reach out to… honestly I’ve just listened to this to writing it when I’m still hurt by it. But hoping that in future, if you don’t have a constructive helpful response, maybe just don’t answer the question.

I am finding as time goes on your just being people pleasers, some of the guests have been great but the waffle at the start is so boring now.

My favourite podcast. Empowering and relatable. Wish I had found it earlier!

I struggled to listen to this podcast. It touched on topics that are interesting and relevant to me, but I found that the presenting style was just too jarring for me.
