FRANK the Podcast

FRANK the Podcast

Tune in to the new raw and quirky podcast about relationships. The good stuff, the bad stuff… but mainly the stuff that drives us crazy! A frank chat, if you will. Hosted by two hilarious women, Olivia Lee and Maria Shehata, who both have completely different perspectives on love due to them being at different stages in their lives. In each episode they grill a guest on their love lives, find out what they’ve learnt about love, when love has driven them the craziest and see if they can help them with their love/dating problems. Do they learn anything? Probably not. But we have a laugh trying! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
