    one of my all-time favorites
    I am re-listening to these episodes before bed and love returning to such a simple podcast of people talking about things they love. Lesley is funny and earnest; I appreciate everything she (and Kerry) put into this podcast. If Filling the Void ever returns, I will be first in line.
  • kentuckyfriedchickenlips
    Very nice
    I liked listening to this before bed. It was very good.
  • halloweencandy4u
    Aw man
    Just listened to last podcast of the season, sad it is ending!! Always fun to hear all the guests 🥸
  • NYCinefile
    Filling The Void fills my void
    Love listening to Lesley :)
  • Badlands518
    MORE!!!
    Love this podcast but miss the old version with longer episodes. We need more Lesley!
  • kanyuheva
    Perfect in its simplicity
    I live for this podcast. It’s so special and specific and intimate. I’m so stoked it’s back.
  • dellarisa
    Too much
    Too much ....cbd?....crazy laughter. Is this a real podcast or tax write-off? Lol. Lol? Has the ingredients for a good show, ruined by juvenile behavior. Sober up and get real.
  • cmneumann
    Enjoy it
    I’m finally getting around to listening to this show & find it comforting. Would be interesting to hear about pandemic hobbies :)
  • Bronx.amy
    Very funny and conversational
    Leslie Arfin is a naturally witty and humorous person and I love listening to her. Also check out her Twitter!
  • Lgfrygfss
    Amazing
    Best podcast!
  • Pieskamin
    Always Look Forward
    This podcast is very comforting to me. I find it relaxing and fun to hear about some of my favorite writer/performers’s private hobbies. I especially enjoy when the person’s hobby is something specific and unusual, like Diablo Cody with rollercoasters or Kyle Mooney with nostalgia. They were favorite guests for me. Thank you for this!
  • Dollymamma
    This is my jam
    Listening to people talk about their hobbies is now one of my hobbies. I ❤️you Lesley.
  • Laurenhavlo
    This podcast makes my heart happy
    This is one of my very favorite podcasts ❤️ I love that the discussions don’t have to do with the guest’s work, but just focused on what brings them pure joy! It’s so cathartic to listen to and I wish the episodes were even longer!
  • rustyarfs
    LOVE FTV!
    LESLEY’s voice is so soothing I could listen to it for 100 hours. Wish this podcast was longer! I love it!
  • CARLY$PICE
    Great host, good sound quality
    I started listening because I was actively looking for a new hobby and was browsing podcasts for ideas. The topic was obviously very relevant and I’ve since started watercoloring :) thanks Lesley! I continue to listen to the podcast because it’s entertaining and the host Lesley and her sub Kerri are pretty fantastic. Sound quality is good and the host, Lesley has a pleasing voice. Thanks and keep it going!!

    Revelatory when not basic
    As a women with autoimmune issues, the very last thing I want to do is listen to two LA performers gripe about whether they’re an apple or a pear body shape, with all its perfunctory self shaming and body surveillance. It’s boring, makes me feel awful, and is waaaay outside the scope of the podcast. Fat shaming is like some kind of verbal tick. I hope they can free themselves from the hold of wellness, self obsession, thinness, all that, and concentrate on what I’m here for— hobbies.
  • PolygonFruits#1596
    Recommend this a lot
    Really great podcast. Fun to listen to for background noise and focusing on, too.
  • HammyfromNYC
    MY FAVORITE PODCAST
    I look forward to Tuesdays for literally no other reason than Filling the Void. As someone who has been trying to figure out what hobbies I even like or want to try this podcast is wonderful to hear other people exploring their passions and also has helped me realize that you don’t have to be super intense or be *the best* at something to enjoy doing it and trying new things! Also the conversations are always so wonderful and funny and genuine. I can’t tell enough people about this podcast!
  • Dave123564325763
    Super cool
    Interesting guests and discussion.
  • BLOOMS86
    Great pod!
    This is my new favorite podcast! Tired of hearing celebs talk about their careers? This is for you! It’s a refreshing take on your typical interview pod. It’s even inspired me to take up my old hobby again - horseback riding!
  • Sir. Kai
    Best ever!
    I mean... Kerri is my mom.. so how can I rate this bad anyways!?
  • astrobrooke
    VIP - very important podcast
    I love the concept, the style and the execution. One minor quibble, even though I really like Dan: why does he get two episodes? One of my favorite podcasts. Five stars, of course.
  • Ginnie Trinh
    perfect
    I was a big fan of the show Love, and I downloaded this podcast for my flight home and i’m obseeesssssed. It’s so funny, the conversations are always interesting and activity fueled, which is helpful when you’re feeling like you’re in a lull. The way this podcast moves is so natural, and makes me feel easygoing even when traffic is hell on the 101. Big fan.
  • sharveyyy
    Love!
    I am really enjoying listening to this while I’m out walking or running in the afternoon sunshine. It’s such a refreshing podcast — as a host, Lesley doesn’t take herself too seriously, and the conversations she has with her guests are so genuine. I am inspired to start devoting more of my time to swimming and painting again. Thanks, Lesley!
  • Lvctenor
    Message lost in likes
    This podcast has the title I was looking for but sadly I found the interviewer and speaker’s comments in the knitter interview peppered with “likes” as is the case with so many. Makes it hard to listen to.
  • nayomi805
    Listening skills
    Good topics.... good ideas... wished she was a bit of a better listener and let him finish some of his topics/sentences.
  • AugustinaTheCat
    The ballet talk is the best

    I love it
    Love this! I love Lesley’s vibe, was left wanting more! I need more old smart millennials talking about life. Seriously all I want!
  • oldwaysinc
