    Ivy Insights

    The Miss Congeniality and the Third Runner Up podcast is an absolute delight to listen to. As two of my oldest and best friends, Natalie and Candice bring a genuine sense of friendship and camaraderie to each episode. The love and admiration they have for each other is palpable, making me feel like I'm a part of their inner circle as well.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the relatability factor. Natalie and Candice share stories from their own lives that are not only hilarious but also extremely relatable. Whether it's recounting embarrassing moments or discussing struggles with body image, they tackle topics that many of us can identify with. It's refreshing to hear them open up in such an honest way, creating a connection with their listeners.

    Another great aspect of this podcast is the humor. Natalie and Candice have an incredible ability to make me laugh out loud with their witty banter and funny anecdotes. They have a natural comedic timing that keeps me entertained throughout each episode. It's evident that they genuinely enjoy making people laugh, which adds a lightheartedness to the podcast.

    However, there are a few downsides to this podcast. One aspect that could be improved upon is the audio quality. At times, the sound can be a bit fuzzy or muffled, which can detract from the overall listening experience. Additionally, there are moments when the conversation feels slightly disorganized or disjointed, making it difficult to follow along.

    In conclusion, The Miss Congeniality and the Third Runner Up podcast is a delightful show filled with laughter, relatability, and friendship. While there may be some room for improvement in terms of audio quality and organization, Natalie and Candice's chemistry and genuine storytelling more than make up for it. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen - you won't regret it!
