I SHAKE MY HEAD
Hosts Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling have been friends for more than twenty years. On their weekly podcast, they share their daily trials and tribulations navigating life as impatient, occasionally judgemental middle-aged white women. In their mid-fifties, they are proud to admit that they lost whatever social filters they once had years ago. Every week, they bring conversations to their digital studio that they probably shouldn't share on the internet. They'll explore how annoyed they are about aging while celebrating their quirks. But, be careful if you see them in line at Costco; they're most definitely judging what's in your cart, how you pay for it, and it might even come up on next week's episode. Join Lisa and Sam for a weekly conversation without filters from a duo that has no trouble admitting they're probably not politically correct. They invite you to join a collective of middle-aged women who have lots to complain about, but prefer to do it in good company!
