    Humor
    The terry mcmillan pod was the first one I listened to and it was a breath of fresh air. Plus they sampled brandy Sittin’ Up in my Room at the end so what’s not to love!?

    Another winner from On Being Studios
    Found this podcast earlier this year. Sorry to find that it stopped in 2017. Season 2 on humor was helpful. Nice job Lily! Keep learning, doing and growing!

    This is one of the good ones
    I never write reviews and I wanted to rate, that should be enough for you to give this a listen

    Filled my reading and listening list
    C.O.O.L has delivered another unique and thought provoking season. I enjoy how the shows aren't so much about laughter or humor itself as the places where humor shows up and gives us a lift. I've always finished an episode with another book in my list or a new voice to read online. Keep up the good work!

    Big fan of the COOL podcast!
    I heard the first season of this podcast and was pleasantly surprised to find this second season about humor. It is so perfect for these crazy times we're living in when humor is all we have to get through our day. I love the topics tackled and the ease with which Lily weaves humor while discussing personal issues during interviews. The guests are all wonderful and with such diverse backgrounds. Lily makes everyone feel comfortable by setting a great tone and is fantastic in this podcast. It always leaves me wanting to hear more from On Being and COOL!

    Love and companionship
    Listen to these and On Being often. I recommend to many folks and share specific episodes frequently. I have one request...episodes are short therefor the snippet used for the intro often plays shortly after. Initially I thought my podcast app was misfiring.

    I've been a long-time fan of Lily Percy and On Being. Lily is approachable, delighful, smart and funny. She's also great at making people sound natural and comfortable. I'm learning a lot from this show. Thank you, Lily and Team On Being! Can't wait to hear more.

    COOL serves up more bite sized knowledge in S2
    Insightful questions and interesting guests lead to genuine conversations worth listening to. I'm excited for even more seasons.

    I wish there was more!
    I listened to the longer version of this that was used for the weekly On Being podcast. It was wonderful. Then I listened to this. It appears to be the exact same content chopped up into 5 minute segments. Not really the way I prefer to consume my podcasts, plus there was nothing new here that I could tell. Is give it an A for content and a C- for presentation.

    I heart COOL.
    Thanks for making this podcast! It's nice to have a short podcast in the sea of hour long episodes. Excellent variety too. Keep it up.

    Quick bursts of inspiration
    I'm very happy to have found this podcast! I listen almost exclusively to the On Being show, but COOL gives me shorter, more easily digestible bursts of inspiration and wonderful people to "connect" with. Good job, Lily and team!

    I'm always searching for new podcasts, and especially ones that can maybe help me figure out my own life. I saw the title of this and thought this looks interesting. I listened to the first episode and started tearing up. Very moving, and very inspirational. I am so excited for the upcoming episodes.

    Loved it!
    I dont think anything would be able to beat the newness, awesomeness and the smack of inspiration this podcast holds, Since this podcast is based on true life stories there is nothing so raw and authentic as this. If you want to be inspired and forced to move and act, this podcast is for you!
