I LOVE Kathleen Madigan and have since I first saw her many years ago. She is hilarious! I listen to her podcasts while I clean my house. I hate cleaning, but her podcasts get me through it. I only clean my house when her latest podcast comes out. I also love listening to her read books for my bedtime stories before I go to bed. Nite nite Termite 💕

Makes Cleaning Up Much More Enjoyable

Love her. From the delivery to the unusual/underrepresented news (which includes vital snack reviews), Madigan delivers, as she always has from the second she debuted on Comedy Central. As one of the "children," I hartily endorse her.

P.S. The furry community has always been very inclusive and the butt of a many a malicious joke and abuse, Thus (I assume) they are the natural allies of trans-people in these times. Anyone who values freedom and bodily autonomy is a natural ally of trans-people. Not a furry termite meself, but know enough about furries to answer that question from the end of your 141 episode.
