Love it! Kelly’s so real, and Christi’s humor is literally on another level ✨💀I was dying. They spill all the Dance Moms tea but make it funny and chill. If you're into the drama and want that behind-the-scenes tea, this pod is an absolute must.💖💖 Especially loved when Melissa and Jill joined in this week! ✨

I love watching the show but PLEASE get better microphones, it is a podcast after all. The poor audio quality honestly makes me debate listening to some of the episodes overall.
Please also try and better prepare for each episode. It’s obvious that you haven’t really read the notes prior to recording, or rehearsed anything you’re saying for that matter. It’s really hard to follow the story when the conversation jumps all over the place.

If you’ve never watched dance moms you definitely should before listening,I have and it’s so fun to understand something and picture what they’re referring to, it feels like being in on an inside joke.
Also I love the crazy fever dream like feeling of the show it’s a real carnival ride.🩵

I’m sure I look like a “uge” idiot if a coworker caught me laughing by myself in the back room from how much I laugh listening to this podcast, oh my! These episodes are what get me through my long agonizing work days, thank you ladies!

I’m a teenager, so I used to watch this show as a kid. This podcast brings back so many childhood memories of watching dance moms and I really feel like I identified with the kids, especially Chloe because I felt like the underdog, not necessarily in dance but in other parts of my life. Now I love the moms and love listening to y’all, especially Christi and Kelly. Every Monday morning I go to volunteer at a local hospital and I love listening to this on my way there and while getting coffee. It’s become such a fun part of my weekly routine. I love being able to hear the behind the scenes stories and the show from your perspective. It was so fun being able to grow up with this show and watch your girls grow up into such amazing young women. They’re a little bit older than me and I’m more close to Mackenzie’s age than the other girls, so I hope to be as mature as them when I get older and start becoming an adult. I think they’ve set such a great example for the next generation. And you and the other moms have done such a good job of raising your children.

They keep splitting episodes into two parts, where majority of the podcast episodes are ads, and then 20 minutes of actually recapping the episodes of dance moms. They’ve even admitted at some points that they didn’t even watch the episodes, and they don’t even take their own notes.
They acknowledge peoples critiques of the podcast, but then follow it up by saying they don’t really care. it’s irritating knowing that they are getting paid from our views, while doing the bare minimum.
