The best!!!

Obsessed with this pod and love all the different takes/guests/topics & Shannon as a host!

A podcast to get you through hard days

Fluently Forward has quickly become one of my all time favorite podcasts. It takes some serious skills to create a podcast that would occupy my ADHD brain and the host does this effortlessly. She’s witty, realistic, and iconic. The random interesting topics and pop culture news captured in the pod always grab my attention and I love the different perspectives given. Shannon is relatable enough to keep my interest and make me feel less alone, but unique enough that her views and opinions are fresh and give me a new point of view. I recently lost my father to cancer and throughout that long journey I have really leaned on Fluently Forward to get my mind off of things and make me laugh. Highly recommend!

Just Vibes for My Ears

Do I care about pop culture? No.
But I love her voice and the way she’s articulates her thoughts. Best podcast when my ears need to be soothed and happy
