Privileged Narcissists with no sense of boundaries
I used to like this show, but it is clear to me this is only about Steph and Cody praising their friends and singling out locals and local businesses for ridicule and bullying. Case in point: before Steph even met me, she grilled Cody on air about my sex life. No consent, no notification. Such a violation rooted in her ignorance about the LGBTQ community and her subconscious homophobia. You’ll find lots of micro aggressions every time she opens her mouth. Moving on to more mature media.

Ok new Topa Talk fan … but after moving to Ojai & jumping on board in season 4, I was bummed to learn the news of Cody’s departure. That being said, the first 2 episodes of season 5 are fire. Steph’s people are interesting, honest & funny. Let’s be friends? Glad Cody is not gone gone & loving the news segment so I can stay up to date as a new local. Can’t wait to keep listening. Steph’s struck gold & I’m here for it!

Plz stop embarrassing me in public
I just got home from a run and this is the 10th (10th!!) time I’ve been listening to the podcast and couldn’t stop uncontrollably laughing…alone…mid stride…with many witnesses. I look insane, but can’t stop listening. It’s the only thing that’s been getting me out the door!

Simply the best
This is THE podcast. Local gossip, hot takes, bravo minutes.. (best addition) & soo much more. You can catch me driving alone in the car listening to a new episode cackling out loud like a psycho every week. Love love love Steph & Cody and all Topa Talk has to offer. Also Stephs book minutes have convinced me to now pick up a book after not reading one… for years.. You’ll love this podcast, and if you don’t.. thats embarrassing.

Will these 2 marry me????
Ok this podcast is so fun! I honestly look forward to my morning walks or longer drives just to listen to these two. I love the interview, local support dynamic with the gossipy, personal and vulnerable sides. Who doesn’t love to know some fun gossip?! But also learning about your community and sometimes throwing in a moment of relatable tenderness in there. They have great chemistry and balance each other out so well. They really make you laugh and I just want to be bffs with them! Shout out to the NoizBoiz!!

Entertaining and informative!
Such a breath of fresh air….a real podcast based on real people in a real community. Love all the insider deets, the discounts, the reviews on shops, restaurants etc. I look forward to every episode and wish it were a daily thing (pipe dream, I know you both have a ton going on, just love listening to you!) Don’t always agree with everything you say, but that’s the beauty of it! Love when Stephanie plays devils advocate, love when Cody gets raunchy! Pure podcast perfection, thank you for all you do, this listener is a huge fan!

Great podcast
This show is great, I have been listening for a few months and I always look forward to it. Sometimes it makes me feel more connected to Ojai. Like who knew there were backyard sex classes in meiners oaks. My favorite thing is that during pride month you guys talked about lgbtq+ topics! I love it when Cody explains Real Housewives. Also, in regards to the most recent episode, frozen grapes are genuinely my favorite food so I was surprised to say the least at your comments.

Cody & Stephanie are hilarious and this very well may be my favorite podcasts. I love that I can keep tabs on my hometown even though I’m hours away, and I love the mix of playful, lighthearted conversation while also approaching more serious & important topics. Can’t wait to keep listening!

The only way I get anything done.
Topa Talk is the reason I am productive. I love hearing the gossip of my hometown and it’s really fun to hear it from the point of view of my old friend Cody, a local, and Stephanie, who found her home in Ojai more recently. They talk about everything u see the sun and they always have interesting guests. They’re hilarious and sweet and they make chores go by effortlessly. Thank u guys!

I don’t even go here!
I love listening to Stephanie and Cody. I don’t even live in Ojai … or California … but I love them. Now I want to come visit. I feel like I’d be so prepared to hang like a local.

Stephanie is the best person we’ve ever met. Cody us just ok
We listen all the time. We finish our evening with your podcast. Keep it up

Love what both of you are doing
Yes! No intro is needed! Just “get into it.”
Also, I love the one-minute Cody recaps of RHOBH.
It is nice to hear from locals in my hometown and hear about the stores/restaurants that I need to visit next time I’m in Ojai.
Oh also, your energy gives me life when I’m driving home after a long day of work and have 1.5 hrs of commute ahead of me. Thanks, you two!

A perfect mix of Ojai
What I love about this podcast is the way these two are just such a great mix of fun, humor, vulnerability, information, and chaos. They are unpretentious, willing to make mistakes, and listening feels like sitting around with friends just having a great time gossiping, making jokes, and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. Five stars!

I look forward to every new episode!
Love to listen while I’m busying around the house or getting me time in. It’s my favorite way to keep up on things back home. The laughs are amazing and it feels like I’m hanging with friends. Every time I get a new episode notification it makes my day!

Been listening since a work friend mentioned how funny Cody and Steph were in their new 2020 season and instantly became dedicated listener. Steph and Cody are who conversationalist who are funny, amazing, and never disappointed, They always have great content about local news ~gossip, lol~, pop culture, and other topics that you can listen at any time. It’s awesome to listen to a podcast that is local & I can relate to. Keep the episodes coming! 👏🏽

Tears.
Cody and Stephanie are just great and refreshing entertainment. Their willingness to be transparent and honest has kept me a loyal listener since Cody joined the show. Seeing the evolution of the podcast has been such a joy and I look forward to how these two will continue their growth and take us on their journey. As a person with anxiety, these episodes give me a break from my crazy mind and allows me to focus on what’s important and take life a little less seriously. I love that they talk about the production and give us a peak behind the curtain - it totally keeps with their theme of openness!

Nothing but love for Topa Talk
I am obsessed with this pod! I love how goofy, fun and sometimes serious Topa Talk can be. Listening really feels like I’m chilling with friends and spilling the hot tea ☕️ I love listening at work, driving around Ojai, or at home with my cat! (She’s also a fan) I especially love the Instagram content Steph & Cody give! It’s the perfect little side character to the already hilarious podcast. I am a proud member of GOOBER NATION! 👏👏👏

Long Time Listener, Forever Fan
These two join me at work, in the car, on a hike, cooking dinner, cleaning the house, in the tub and the list can go on. Relatable, funny, honest and direct. I appreciate the time and vulnerability these two take to bring insight into all these. No topic seems to be off limits. If you haven’t given them a listen already kick it into high gear and binge.
Mischief Paris
Just great
This podcast has it all: eclectic humor, local drama, and a zest for life (and death?). I laugh like no other during their no guest eps. Stephanie and Cody are unique, authentic and perfectly stoner philanthropic… bringing light heartedness to some hefty topics.

Best Ojai Pod
This podcast is intimate, honest, hilarious & chaotic. Cody and Stephanie get into anything and everything from pop culture to political topics to hyper local Ojai goings on. 10/10 highly recommend.

Gimme gimme more
I look forward to the next Topa Talk episode after listening to each one. Stephanie and Cody are a joy to listen to and I always feel like I’m in the room with them. I chime in, I laugh, I shed a few tears, and I often nod in agreement. They keep it serious when the time calls for it and make us laugh when we need it most. Keep it coming friends!
F**k around and find out.

Steph & Cody: Ojai’s finest!!!
Definitely one of the most enjoyable podcasts I have in rotation. It’s very Ojai centric but they don’t make you feel like an outsider if you’re not from there. They are funny, entertaining and will always give you the hot takes you need to hear. Please give them a listen. You will not be disappointed!!

Ojai’s Best
Honestly one of the best podcasts ever. I’m into all the Ojai tea that includes hearing about Justin Bieber’s new ojai home, Annie Hathaways real name, and learning the definition of what an Ojai transplant is. Lived in Ojai my entire life and this is what it was missing all along. Cody and Stephanie are also hilarious and I love listening in my car on the way to work!!

hanging out
Who knew! There is a lot of love and chit chat. Funny, intimate and smart! A great way to hear about ojai and universal global international issues. Really who knew? Brings me some joy for sure.

What a gem 💖
I am an avid Spotify listener, but I had to come show some love on the ‘purple podcast app’
Stephanie and Cody have great banter. I really enjoy this podcast that seems to be about nothing, but everything. That Cody character is very funny! I bet he would be a riot to hang out with in real life. I enjoy the pop culture topics and how they handle current events with a raw, real attitude. Keep them coming 😉

Favorite Podcast!
I love Topa Talk, Stephanie, and Cody so much! This podcast is funny, serious when needed, and the perfect stress reliever. I feel like I’m hanging out with friends while listening, which makes me want to hang out with these two in real life even more! I’ve learned, laughed and cried at times. I think everyone needs Topa Talk in their life.
Can’t say enough good things about you two! ♥️

Love love love!
I’m not even from ojai or California but I still love their topics and conversations!

Can I give this podcast more than 5 stars? Asking for a friend...
One of the only podcasts I genuinely find myself anxiously waiting and excited for new episodes. Hosts do a wonderful job of keeping us listeners engaged and making us feel like we can join in on the conversation at any time! While also making me feel like I’m in the loop and in the know of all things town related. Every time I know there’s a new episode, it makes my daily commute so much more enjoyable!

Staying connected
My favorite, favorite! After moving 3 years ago and really struggling with missing it, I was on the hunt to listen to every podcast I could about Ojai to stay connected. This is that and so much more. It’s beyond funny, real and never disappoints.

Intimate and vulnerable, while profoundly comic. We can all relate in some way. Thank you for sharing Cody and Stephanie xo

The best!!!
If I could give 100 stars, I would. I absolutely adore both Cody and Stephanie! The compliment each other perfectly. I love the random topics they discuss. I can go from laughing so hard to getting right up in my feels. I always gets super excited when I get the notification for a new episode! Forever listener here!!

my newest obsession

Team Topa
I never miss an episode of Topa Talk! Stephanie and Cody are hilarious and genuine, and never fail to light up my day. When the podcast first started, it focused on interviewing a creative, talented and charming cast of makers and entrepreneurs—Topa Talk taught me about small scale farming, budget wine shopping and how to generally build a thing! Cody and Stephanie have since shaken things up with a bunch of new creative concepts and formats (shout out Quick Cuts). I can’t wait to see what else they have in store and will continue to laugh along with every new episode!

Awesome blossom
This podcast is like a sip of a Mojito. Refreshing with a little kick. Miss Melissa but Cody brings off the wall personality that is the Ying to Stephanie’s Yang. Can’t wait to see what you come out with in 2021 🤌🏻

A rompin’ good time
This podcast is pure fun, so relatable, and the hosts are as organic as Ojai itself! 6/5 stars.
LuluBooo
Clever
I listened for the first time today, the hosts don’t take themselves too seriously but are serious about their content, (kinda). If you listen carefully you will get some golden comedy gems.
Favorite lines from the conspiracy show,
“Shen Yun wants to harvest Gay Organs”
“Bill Gates wants you to combat the Corona Virus by downloading Windows 2000”
