Customer Reviews
Best advice show I never knew I needed.
Can’t recommend this show enough. Not only is the chemistry real, the discussion is well balanced, entertaining, and surprisingly comforting. The advice is helpful and coming from a lot of experience, but never feels preachy. So many things come up that I didn’t even know I needed to hear. I love these two and hope you give them a shot.
Friends in my head
I love you guys! I wish we were friends in real life so that we could hang out. I love listening and feel you're advice is excellent. Keep up the good work! I like this angle and can't wait to hear more.
Like a good conversation with a friend!
I’ve been a Bald Move listener for many years and while I enjoy their pure entertainment coverage immensely, I’ve often found myself wanting to hear more of what they have to say on other topics: Enter Swizzbold. These are the conversations I enjoy in my every day life and I love hearing personal takes from those who had different journeys than those in my circle. I think A.Ron, Cecily and Jim (on Bald Move) seem like real, intelligent, thoughtful and fun individuals. Can’t wait to hear more!
