Laurbe11eDealing with the Mental Load of MealsThe recent episode was like calling a friend you haven’t talked to in a while and was so therapeutic. Don’t know why hearing them talk about grocery lists and shopping strategies brought me so much joy but it did.
-
AEB846ABGood content but... I can't handle the raspy, gravelly voice. I feel like some voice coaching would be very beneficial. The podcaster does not sound hoarse, and is probably unaware she is even doing it.
-
Joe 25745 minute ads for FrameBridgeI was really disappointed with the FrameBridge episode. As a long-time listener, I expect thoughtful discussions, but this felt more like a 45-minute undisclosed advertisement rather than an objective conversation. There was no real critique, no challenging questions—just an extended promotional piece. Transparency is key in podcasting, and failing to disclose sponsorships or financial relationships damages credibility. Unfortunately, this has made me lose trust in the podcast. If this is the direction it’s heading, I’ll have to reconsider whether it’s worth my time. I hope future episodes return to providing genuine, insightful content rather than serving as PR for brands.

G-Beezy24No NotesWhat a delightful podcast! I honestly have no clue how this pod slipped past me until now! Pop culture, favorite thing recs, things we should know… it’s a win all-around!
-
rq_lenGreat Show - One ComplaintLove the show but the way one of the hosts yells “HIII” at the beginning is aurally distressing. Additionally, the alternate little opening “oh hai!” Is not painful like the “HIIII,” but is bafflingly infuriating. Maybe it’s the artifice–you’re not surprised to see anyone… you’re recording… I beg you to change this and stop. I hate being sonically bombarded with a scream of HIIII at the beginning of an otherwise great podcast
-
Steph ChicagoSo funLove hearing these women chat about the most specific and interesting things. They’re so passionate about the most random topics - it’s hilarious and inspiring at the same time. Always makes me giggle, launch into into new rabbit holes, and find new obsessions myself!
-
Olivia _the_animal_loverI didn’t give it a ratingWhat is the age range for this podcast?
-
dagovna88Long time listener, fading awayI’ve been listening since day 1 and was such a huge fan of of a kind. Not sure what happened as of recently but woah did it fall off? Maybe it’s dear media/the rebrand/post BB&B? The takes are not it? What happened to the in the know cool girls from Brooklyn? Claire’s mean girl streak is showing a little too much and the takes in general are a stretch. I’ll give it a few more goes but it doesn’t hit like it used to which is a bummer bc it was a weekly fave
-
NikiGutierLove.Exactly the podcast I need in my life!
-
millennial listenerlong time listenerBeen here since the Of a Kind Days. On the whole really enjoy the podcast and recs. Can relate to them on a lot of things as an elder millennial but has definitely felt more out of touch since they sold to Bed Bath. Perhaps finally showing true colors? Also hard not to roll my eyes when they get too cutesy. They talked about getting dairy queen and sitting on the side of the rd to eat it once and fancied themselves so charming and down to earth…
-
exlibrislarkinMehThis show used to feel inclusive and interesting, but the recent obsession with pioneering, cottagecore, and prairie times feels kinda icky. They dont even realize they’re praising colonial times? Good luck with obsessing over Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was racist.
-
MariaLovesDesignGreat lifestyle podcastTuning in to hearing Claire and Erica talk is like meeting up with your most glamorous, connected friend; she knows about trends you've never heard of, and has a different take on ones you know about. Between them and their guests, they have a ton of collective knowledge about trends in fashion, design, etc., but also classics. Many of the podcast guests are designers who make items featured on their website, so they give insight into how things are actually made, what goes into the cost, etc. The podcast is excellent and I've discovered interesting things and even bought a few, which I absolutely love, as a result of listening!
-
esterical88LoveI love this show so much I even listen to all the ads! Keep the good stuff coming, ladies!
-
PodcastBNot enough of a GREAT thingMinus one star because I need this to be twice as long! More, plz.
-
lfurnissJammed full of cool and creative ideas and peopleAs a mom to a young toddler, I love how this podcast makes me feel connected to my love of food, art, design, and fashion—interests that are sadly often neglected in this chapter of my life. Clare and Erica have terrific taste and I’ve never been disappointed by one of their recommendations. They have also introduced me to so many inspiring and interesting people through their interviews.
-
Tigre GFun find ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I enjoy the conversations and Thingies so much. Fun, Fun, Fun!!
-
beka_bookloveLOVEI’m so here for these conversations. Thank you for even the smallest stuff that’s really the biggest stuff (who gets to be messy, anyone?). Talking about it out loud just helps. And I’m here for it. Thank you!
-
Celisia StantonI always look forward to Mondays!Love love love listening to these two! Great banter, fun topics, perfect recommendations. The best Monday morning boost 🌸
-
LechicgeekFun meandering conversations!I usually don’t love conversation-style podcasts, but this one is great! It feels like being with fun friends - at turns serious and silly.
-
Hollyann marie SMakes Me Smile Every MondayI actually look forward to Mondays now because a new episode will be released! Erica and Claire are easily the highlight of my dreary Monday morning commute that I’ve found to be not so dreary anymore! I find myself laughing and smiling while listening! I’m so happy I found this podcast and highly recommend! 🥰
-
elv83Fine and usually entertaining, butThe hosts are my age and I relate to a ton of their conversation touchpoints/references, which is refreshing. It gets a little too cutesy sometimes (Michigan Star and the latest Cringe episode come to mind). Claire specifically has a mean girl streak. I keep listening but sometimes have to remember to not roll my eyes.
-
el_eanor24My favoriteListen every week! Love their taste and banter
-
Kisses and thugszFavorite favorite favoriteI’ve been a listener for almost 5 years now and they are just my very favorite. Couldn’t recommend listening enough, I wish they came out with 3 episodes a week, I can’t get enough!
-
J StukalinA must-listenPicture talking to your most in-the-know friends, who share their secrets and discoveries with you willingly…and then add on the warmth and charm of hosts Erica and Claire. This podcast will provide you with incredible finds, while bringing a smile to your face. A must-listen!
-
Yas bae32A fun podcast for anyone interested in general lifestyle intoClaire and Erica have created a fun podcast with lifestyle information that can include entertainment, home, fashion, shopping, etc. without being “influencer-like.” Just a nice conversation between friends that we get to listen in on. Really interesting interviews too.
-
EWizzy12Like a brunch date with your most enthusiastic friendsClaire and Erica bring the joy, enthusiasm and discerning opinions you need in your life. The most delightful hour in media!
-
Jessica_H_711Can’t tell the hosts apartI really with Claire and Erica would use each other’s names more often because I can’t tell who is who, and this kept me from connecting to the podcast more. I do like the topics discussed, and I listen to many podcasts with two female hosts, but this prevents me from being a regular listener.

christine the podcast listenerGreat podcast!Today I decided to leave a review for all of the favorite podcasts, and this one made the cut. If your reading this you should listen. If you already listen, you should leave a review too. It helps the rankings
-
TeganAndSara<310/10I’m a new listener and I love Claire and Erica! Their friendship seems so genuine and fun, and their dynamic is always light and relaxing. It’s the show I listen to a sunny day. Topics I especially enjoy: bunnies, kids, running, snacks, clothes/fashion, mood/mental health.
-
mmguptaFavorite podcastI feel like they’re reading my mind with the topics they choose to discuss — the types of conversations I love having with close friends, but in this case, very smart, in-the-know ones. Hands down my favorite podcast (and newsletter!). Thank you Claire and Erica!
-
08642@My favorite of all the podsClaire and Erica never fail to transport me to a playful, sunny place. Grateful for this auditory form of escapism.
-
LBH1202Good peopleMy all time favorite podcast. When I listen I feel as if I am chatting with one of my dearest friends. And like when you leave a chat with a friend I always leave this podcast optimistic and fulfilled.
-
KDon-TelAnti-anxiety podcastThis is my go-to when I’m feeling afraid for the world. Everything is nice in here
-
CEG7474My favorite, bar noneA Thing Or Two has become my favorite podcast (and newsletter!) over the last several years. I love every single type of show from Thingies episodes to guest interviews to discussions on important topics like the decision to become a mother or how to be more conscious about where one spends their money. The dynamic between Claire and Erica makes it so much fun to listen to and I love hearing from them on anything and everything. I appreciate the work they put into this content so much and will always be happy to support whatever they’re up to however I can!
-
JennaK1These ladies have made me cooler already!These are the friends that I want in my ears when I’m getting ready for work, making dinner, going for a run, or decompressing after a long day. Keeping doing exactly what you’re doing. I love every minute of it!
-
faxmarSo greatI really like these women. They’re positive, enthusiastic, and sincere. The world is full of creativity and delight and these smart hosts will draw you into their world and you’ll realize it’s your world too.
-
rlgeiselLove love loveClaire and Erica feel like friends I chat with every Monday. They’re always in the know about products, design-y stuff and people I wish I had already known about.
-
Wheelhouse DanielOne of my favoritesLove to listen to Claire and Erica for product recommendations and fun interviews, but I also find their kind friendship soothing.
-
taylorll24Slowly losing meI have listened to this pod since Of a Kind Days and have found their recommendations so helpful and content fun and easy to listen to. As of late, however, it’s hard to discern what is sponsored content and what are genuine recommendations/life tips/etc. I feel like this pod is slowly becoming one long advertisement. Maybe it’s pandemic media fatigue but something has changed and I’m less excited about new episodes.
-
Travelgirl777Chatting with FriendsI feel like I’m a part of the conversation when I listen. I enjoy their content that includes great tips for gift buying, product reviews, great newsletters to read and other podcast recommendations. I found them about a year ago and I look forward to listening each week.
-
Julie BenzmanI get so excited when there’s a new episodeClaire and Erica always seem to talk about exactly what’s on my mind. Their banter really makes me feel like I’m hanging out with friends. I’ve purchase SO many of their gift recommendations - they’re always on top of the latest and greatest. Such a fun listen. A

Andreamichelle1991Love!Such a great pod!
-
HanuckiThoughtful and inspiringI didn’t think I could get into another podcast hosted by two pals, but these two convinced me pretty quickly.
-
Rosson.aLike listening to your best friendsThis show is my new favorite! 🤗 (that emoji is for Claire and a deep cut 😂) I’ve been bingeing past episodes for weeks and feel like Claire and Erica are my best friends. They are funny, thoughtful, informed and insightful. Even when I may not relate to a topic, I find so much value in listening and learning and laughing along. I only wish I had found this when Of a Kind was still around because I always find myself wanting the products they feature 😆 Thank you for such a great podcast!
-
EleanorEEMonday joyMy go to for what’s hot in snacks, fashion, books and cool people to follow. A must listen!
-
MarleyinDenverwould recommendA little bit I feel like I’m actually friends with Claire
-
Brenn456Modern woman’s guide to lifeI absolutely love listening to Claire and Erica. I always feel more informed and cultured after I’ve listened to an episode- like I’m in on all the secrets of being a modern, cool woman. They’re hilarious, clever, smart, sassy, and knowledgeable, and honestly I wish they would just life coach me. This is hands-down my favorite podcast.
-
LlbkoomLove ThisThis podcast is so refreshing and interesting. They cover a wide variety of things that you should know about, I’ve learned a lot and it’s given me lots of great ideas for my home and for life in general.
-
eepp1986If you enjoy self obsessed women who take themselves extremely seriouslyThen this is the podcast for you! I’m exactly the brand of creative class, urban dwelling elder millennial that makes up the target demographic for this podcast, and even I am rolling my eyes too much to listen to it. Subscribe if: you like listening to someone speak at length about their toddler’s Autumn Look in a way that isn’t funny enough for their listeners to tell if they’re joking, and if you don’t mind the hypocrisy of hearing someone say they’re ashamed to talk about doing Whole 30 because they’re not into the “branding” but will do an ad for Best Fiends in the same episode.
