Hoda and Jenna have a unique ability to brighten any day and their conversations are always engaging and entertaining. They provide cool inspiration and their honest and truthful approach makes them relatable and authentic.

This variety keeps each episode engaging and ensures there's something for everyone.
While The TODAY with Hoda & Jenna podcast has many positive aspects, there are a few areas that could be improved upon. One issue is that sometimes episodes aren't available for very long after they are initially posted. It would be ideal if older episodes remained accessible so that listeners can go back and revisit their favorite moments or catch up on missed content at any time. Additionally, some listeners have mentioned difficulty accessing content through QR codes mentioned during the show.
