3 JUL 2024 · It's our season 17 finale!!!!
Huge thank you to our listener Hayden for recommending this lil hellscape to us!

Will the ladies of MBC die of boredom???
FIND OUT!

11 JUN 2024 · Our OG recommender Allesandra told us about Eleanor Oliphant so we knew we had to give it a read! The thing is.... Johnna, a host of this cast, ALSO told the other ladies about Eleanor Oliphant. Like 8 times. Actually she's been begging them to read it for years because it's one of her favorite reads! The MBC ladies are a HOUSE DIVIDED between love, and hate, and more hate this episode!
