Our Editor's Take

Closet Confessions is a girl-talk podcast. The hosts of the show are Candice Brathwaite and Coco Sarel. Candice is an author and television personality. Sarel has a popular TikTok channel where she performs comedy.

Every podcast episode follows a similar format. Candice and Sarel start by catching up. Both hosts have ebullient and engaging personalities. The conversation moves along at a brisk pace. Within four minutes, the girls can move from Sarel's predilection for self-diagnosing to people who bathe with their dogs. There are lots of giggles along the way.

Conversation topics in Closet Confessions are a perfect snapshot of modern times. Both Candice and Sarel live their lives online. As a result, they are living embodiments of the zeitgeist. They have advice for moving on after getting ghosted. They pity women who are dating mama's boys. They roll their eyes at annoying Instagram comments. Candice and Sarel identify the red flags that might mean a toxic friendship. They make their beds because it's good for their mental health. Candice disdains women who put "wife" in their bio.

In the podcast's second half, Sarel and Candice read listeners' confessions. One person finds it almost impossible to make friends. Another creates a tarot reading account to get her cheating boyfriend to confess. A listener doesn't let her boss try on her engagement ring and frets about potential fallout. One woman copes with a lack of romance in her relationship by cheating. Some confessions lead Candice and Sarel to grapple with complex cultural issues. As daughters of West Indian and West African mothers, they say it is hard to find a balance between self-respect and deferential respect.

Closet Confessions may be a great choice for people who enjoy light entertainment. Sarel and Candice are straightforward and hilarious hosts. When the topics get heavy, they address them with grace and wisdom. New podcast episodes arrive on Mondays and Wednesdays.
