Claire Parker and Ashley Hamilton co-host Good Noticings, the pop culture podcast that makes you smarter. Formerly known as Celebrity Memoir Book Club, the cult-hit podcast became known for their irreverent but nuanced takes and their fast-paced banter. The two best friends met as stand-up comics in New York City and continue to perform to sold-out theaters internationally. They've been called a "best podcast" by Vogue, GQ, Esquire, The Guardian, and more. Both women reside in Brooklyn and are at the mercy of Ashley's dog Bug.
