Testimonials from the Hat Collecting Podcast
“Lacey’s questions are incisive and thought-provoking, and as with any great interviewer, it’s always clear that she is truly listening to you and deeply considering what you’ve said. Her show feels like a welcoming space, even (or especially) for weirdos who’ve taken the road less traveled.”
– Kate Sloan (Episode #038)
“Deciding to be on the Hat Collecting podcast with Lacey was a no-brainer: she made the process so easy from beginning to end! Because the variety of guests and topics are so diverse, it was an honor to be selected as a guest. I especially loved the curated questions that really made me think carefully about my answers, not to mention the "is there a charity or cause you want people to know about" prompt. So special! There are a lot of run-of-the-mill podcasts out there and Hat Collecting is not. It’s is unique, insightful, thoughtful, and quirky. I loved it.”
– Rachel Kelly (Episode #033)
“I had such a great time being on Hat Collecting. It's unlike any other podcast I've been interviewed on and I really enjoyed the layout and format. I appreciate Lacey wanting to share other people's stories and it was an honor to be featured. My favorite part of the episode is towards the end when Lacey and I went back and forth and shared a few personal stories with each other. Lacey is a great storyteller and I know anyone featured on this podcast will have a wonderful time chatting with her.”
– Blaire Caplan (Episode #032)
“I am so thankful that Lacey asked me to appear on Hat Collecting. Our interview was absolutely wonderful and throughout the entire experience Lacey made me feel very comfortable and extremely prepared. The show is always rich in content and bright in personality, and I would absolutely appear again.”
– Ama Scriver (Episode #030)
“The Hat Collecting experience was absolutely therapeutic in how it encouraged introspection. Lacey definitely asked some questions which I'd never considered to ask myself. She was very professional and amiable. I would gladly do it again!”
– Quinn Dean (Episode #029)
“Lacey was a delight to collaborate with, genuinely interested in what I had to say and quick to make the experience comfortable for me. Enjoyable!”
– Kitty Stryker (Episode #028)
“When being a guest on a podcast, you want to know what to expect. What I loved about working with Lacey on our episode, is that she provided me with a wealth of information beforehand that allowed me to come to the recording prepared and aware of what was to come. She was patient and kind and was an exceptional listener. When I gave answers, she had responses that allowed me (and her listeners) to relate to the content being discussed in a productive way. I highly recommend joining Lacey as a guest on Hat Collecting!”
– Mallory McGrath, Viive Planning (Episode #027)

– Carley @adhadult (Episode #024)
“I've been on so many different types of shows over the years, and Lacey truly stands out as a host. She provided a wealth of information ahead of the recording, and asked detailed questions to ensure I had what I needed. I went into it feeling fully prepared and entirely comfortable - and had such a fun time! I definitely recommend the experience to anyone who has a perspective to share!”
– Laura D (Episode #018)
“I had such a great time doing the interview with Lacey. I’ve done a number of interviews over the years (both as an interviewer and interviewee) and this was one of the most relaxed yet organized interview experiences I’ve ever had. Lacey provides the questions in advance and I loved being able to formulate rough answers ahead of time so I didn’t feel put on the spot. It was a really great experience.”
– Claire AH (Episode #017)
"I've been on a handful of podcasts and the Hat Collecting Talk Show interview process was clear, engaging and fun. Lacey is a great host who has created a process that helps you feel prepared prior to the recording and comfortable and relaxed during the episode. Her questions are thought-provoking and meaningful. I found it extremely helpful and transparent to receive the questions ahead of time so that I was able to reflect and take the time to gather my thoughts. Future guests can rest assured the entire Hat Collecting Talk Show experience is organized, relaxed and clear.”
– Marnie Luck (Episode #016)
“Doing this show was like talking to an old friend and it's hard to imagine anyone feeling differently even if this is their first time talking to Lacey. It was relaxed, comfortable, and a lot of fun. I'd be happy to do it again.”
– Steve Cox (Episode #014)
“Filming with Lacey was a relaxed and comfortable experience. I never felt rushed or pressured or to answer a certain way. Lacey also did a fantastic job accommodating my concerns regarding privacy. I could say as much or little as much as I wanted for each question. She took great care in editing the final product as well!”
– Nadi Z (Episode #013)
“Lacey makes you feel instantly at home when you come on her show. The vibe is one of comfort and ease. Lacey is a patient interviewer and you definitely get the sense that there are no wrong answers with her. I suffer from a small amount of anxiety before I start speaking but once Lacey and I got to talking it was very relaxed.”
– Billie Schultz (Episode #008)
“I had a lovely time with Lacey. She was very good at preparing me for the interview, giving me a clear idea of what we would be talking about and what questions I would be asked. There were no surprises. I felt very comfortable and safe during the entire process.”
– Laur (Episode #007)
“Lacey is a fabulous host. She makes the conversation as welcoming as talking to a good friend. She is open to supporting guests in whatever they need to feel comfortable.”
– Jade Pichette (Episode #006)
“I had never been interviewed in this format before so it was a little nerve-racking in that I didn’t know what to expect. However Lacey and I talked a bit I the pre-show lobby before we started actually recording which helped take the edge off, plus it’s not live. That made me feel a lot better because sometimes I rambled a little but she cut that down and I was extremely pleased with how it turned out. During the show I was very comfortable and was sad when it had to end! I would highly recommend doing a show with Lacey if you’re new to being interviewed because she is really great at helping newbies be more comfortable.”
