Great Ads + Quality Show

I have only ever written three reviews: 1. A 5-star review for Rocket Money because they helped me catch a scam charge. 2. A 1-star review for a car mechanic because they were the scammers. 3. This review. First, I have to admit I'm a little ashamed that I wrote the Rocket Money review before this one, considering I only signed up for Rocket Money because of Dear Shandy (and their incredibly effective ads). I'm trying to make things right now. I've been listening since 2021, and this podcast has made me laugh, think more critically, and become a more mindful and responsive person in my relationships. I barely watch reality TV anymore, but I never miss a Dear Shandy recap (or any episode, for that matter). Even if life gets busy and I end up three months behind, I always come back and catch up. I'm genuinely a better person for listening to Dear Shandy, so thank you. And, as an added bonus, you also saved me a lot of time and money with the Rocket Money recommendation. Plus, thanks to you, my husband now refuses to sleep on anything that isn't Cozy Earth.

Loves your Love Island recaps

Die hard Shandy here! I loved that you guys covered love Island this year and I know you were debating if you will cover it again, but I really hope you guys do next year as typically it is more entertaining. I’m looking forward to your ultimatum recaps now 😊

Love the recaps!

One of the best recap pods out there. I know it's off brand but I would love a recap of Survivor since it sounds like Sharlene and Andy are fans.
