“What makes our show so successful is our relationship with the people listening to it and being able to answer the questions that they really have,” Mellencamp Arroyave tells PEOPLE of their podcast. “Because we can. We can talk till we're blue in the face, but ultimately we want to dig into the stuff people really want to know.”
“I think that's the beauty of us having both being on a show at one point and also having that insight, we're able to give people information that they wouldn't necessarily have,” she adds. “But also, we're a little bit messy, so like, we're willing to ask the hard questions, where I think a lot of time people are going to skate around the issue, and we don't do that. We don't play that way.”
