    Ivy Insights

    The Distractions podcast is a delightful and relatable show that centers around the conversations and catch-ups between hosts Mallory, Drew, and Brenna. It feels as though you are sitting in the next booth at brunch, listening to their enjoyable, supportive, and humorous discussions about whatever has happened recently. The premise of the podcast is refreshing, as it focuses on their personal lives rather than catering to a specific audience. While it may be helpful to listen to older episodes to fully understand their inside jokes and references, the hosts always provide entertaining recommendations for the "treat of the week." Overall, this podcast offers a light-hearted and enjoyable experience.

    One of the best aspects of The Distractions podcast is how relatable and real the hosts are. As a single woman in her late 20s living in a big city, I find their conversations to be a godsend. They discuss the craziness of their lives with such honesty and authenticity that it's easy to connect with them on a personal level. Their stories and experiences often mirror my own, making me feel like I'm not alone in navigating life's stresses. Additionally, their humor shines through in every episode, never failing to make me laugh out loud. Each new episode brings excitement and anticipation, as I know I'll be entertained by these genuine and down-to-earth women.

    While The Distractions podcast is overall fantastic, there are a few aspects that could be improved upon. At times, the audio quality becomes an issue when they speak softly or mumble, making it difficult to hear certain parts of the conversation, especially when listening while driving or in noisy environments. Additionally, there are moments when they delve into topics related to their religious life using specific lingo that may confuse listeners who are not familiar with their church community. While these instances are rare, it would be helpful for them to provide more context or explanations for those outside their faith so that everyone can fully appreciate the content.

    In conclusion, The Distractions podcast is a hilarious and raw show that has become a favorite among many listeners. The hosts, Mallory, Drew, and Brenna, create an atmosphere that feels like you're hanging out with friends, making every episode bingeable and enjoyable. Their relatability and realness make this podcast a source of comfort during tough days or when needing a mood boost. Despite some minor audio quality issues and occasional confusion due to religious lingo, the overall experience of listening to The Distractions podcast is highly entertaining and worth giving a chance.
