As a partner of a band member who is preparing for a first time tour, I have felt anxiety, excitement, and just unknown the what ifs. When I stumbled upon this pod cast, I felt seen and comfort in hearing their stories. These ladies are relatable, honest, and it’s so encouraging for us who are going through the similar things. My partner and I are getting married next year, and this podcast gives me perspective that is so helpful. Thank you!

Chondra and Misha are such a great team and have created such an enjoyable podcast. They are very fun to listen to and full of wisdom, thought provoking questions and great advice. They find wonderful guests that add the same level of fun and insight into life as well. Strongly recommend this podcast!

Great podcast with a perspective from the touring world that people don’t even think of! Chondra & Misha ask great questions, and are both full of wit & have wonderful personalities. Keep up the great work ladies! Respect

The premise is enough to build community and a sense of purpose, though the discussions are free enough to be surprised and learn unexpected insights or delights week to week. Lovely hosts. Join in!

Finally writing a review for my favorite podcast out right now! Hosts Misha Lazzara and Chondra Sanchez never fail to release an entertaining listen. Seriously, these episodes can help turn a bad day into a good day, filled with smiles and laughs. I look forward to Wednesdays. Upon starting your journey through the Band Wives podcast, you may enter with a certain perception of what a “band wife lifestyle” is. As you continue to hear the pros and cons of being professionally involved in music and arts, or being a partner to those who are, that perception very well may shift. The guests (and the questions they’re asked) allow for a real, raw discussion on very vulnerable human topics. Misha and Chondra allow their guests to elaborate, being fantastic listeners in tandem with guiding the conversation along to natural talking points. There is a great flow which allows for easy binging! It may seem that this is *only* for those who identify as female, but truthfully, this podcast is for everyone. It feels right to reflect on your own life as you hear the stories of others and gain a new perspective. This podcast will make you think and empathize with our fellow humans, as guests who have varying lifestyles are introduced: no experience is the same for everyone. It’s truly been interesting to learn about people from all walks of life! The last thing I’ll touch upon is the idea of magic moments— the duality of looking for them or creating them. These meta discussions have led me to believe that these moments inherently and persistently exist; through their questioning of their guests, the world, and the universe, BandWives helps explain that there is magic everywhere. Misha and Chondra guide listeners though their life experiences. The takeaway is that these hosts can find beauty in places or moments that can often be shrouded with negativity, and sometimes there is beauty in embracing the negativity itself. A powerful sentiment eloquently developed over the episodes thus far. As long as Band Wives continues to make episodes, I’ll continue to be a listener, and I’ll continue to look forward to Wednesdays.

Absolutely in LOVE with this show and these women! Every episode is relatable, funny, and heartwarming. Even though we’ve never met, it feels like we’ve been friends for years! You don’t always get that with podcast hosts. Strongly recommend! Also.. could this theme song be any more perfect? Like an early 90s sitcom. *chef’s kiss*

Love listening to these two smart, hard working independent mamas tell it like it is! Especially with social media sometimes it’s so easy to think you’re not doing your best or all you can do- these two make you understand you’re not alone- you’re doing great. I learn a lot on every episode and find myself laughing alone in my car. Highly recommend

I enjoy this podcast very much! These ladies are down to earth, real people. It’s quite interesting learning about the daily ins & outs of how to function in such a crazy busy rock & roll world! They seem to be perfect for the life skill of being “Band Wives!” Thanks for sharing part of your lives with fans!

I love listening to these two intelligent, wonderful women and the insightful, fun conversations they have. Can’t wait to see what else is in store. Well done, Chondra and Misha!

Absolutely loving this podcast so far! Getting empowerment, inspiration, laughs, book/show recommendations, and more! I really appreciate these raw, insightful conversations—you feel so seen listening to them! And oh my god, Kira Cooper, be my bestie? She rocks. You all rock.

Love what these women are doing so far! Down to earth and fun to listen to. Can’t wait to see what they discuss next!

Love the podcast so far! Can’t wait to see what else is to come.

As a fan of both their husbands’ bands I loved hearing a new “behind the scenes” look of what their families are up to. Do they go with them?? Do they stay home?? Can you even actually hear the concert very well from the side stage?! Beyond the surface level conversations about logistics and sex lives (wink wink), both of these women are beautifully unique and complex, yet relatable is so many ways. I can’t wait for more episodes to drop!

What a wonderful mash-up of honesty, wit, humor, and grace. Loved listening to these down-to-earth and insightful women. Can’t wait to hear more from them!

The podcast gave look into the myriad of aspects of what makes up a woman. These two ladies have different and complex lives and hearing their perspective on accomplishments and challenges are so relatable to a range of women.

So excited to start listening to this!!! Yay!!
