This gives me a lot more insight to behind the scene stuff, the actors who played the characters I love and how much of the characters personality is a part of them, and also it allowed me into the writers and producers minds and their intentions.

As a mother of three (single births), one daughter and two sons. This hits so personally for me I had no choice but to go into the whole TIU rabbit hole which led me to this podcast as well as SKB and his wife’s. I’ve been very secretly hoping for a TUI spinoff.

Love the show and love the podcast just as much
