    Ivy Insights

    The Awesome Today podcast is a true gem in the world of podcasts. It has brought so much joy and laughter to my life, especially during these lonely pandemic days. Kyle and Meg, the hosts of the show, have created a bright spot in my daily routine with their delightful conversations and soothing voices. Listening to their banter and witnessing their obvious love for each other is truly heartwarming.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to bring so much happiness. The hosts' humor and lightheartedness never fail to put a smile on my face. The episodes are always filled with laughter, making it such a joy to listen to. Additionally, I appreciate how informative and educational the show can be. From interesting historical facts to recommendations on what to watch, listen to, or read, I always come away from each episode feeling enlightened.

    While it's hard to find any faults with this podcast, if I had to nitpick, I would say that there are times when the tangents and side conversations can become slightly distracting. However, I believe that this also adds to the charm of the show as it feels like you're eavesdropping on a conversation between friends.

    In conclusion, The Awesome Today podcast has quickly become one of my favorites. It brings me so much joy, laughter, and entertainment on a daily basis. The dynamic between Meg and Kyle is truly fantastic, and their ability to both entertain and educate is commendable. If you're looking for a podcast that will brighten your day and leave you feeling uplifted, then look no further than The Awesome Today podcast.
