I can get behind every other episode at this podcast, but giving people dating advice using astrology as if it's real or even worth considering is so dumb. Bacing any real life decisions on magical mumbo jumbo like this is a bad way to live your life.

Renee is the best person in podcasting right now. if you like animals, check out Can I Pet Your Dog and the second season of An Animal Saved My Life. this podcast is a welcome addition. I love her attitude about the whole thing, and she is a great interviewer.
