What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really like your podcast especially because you guys could give the behind the scenes of the episodes you were on. The ones you weren’t on you had the producers note which was really nice but now that you don’t have those, I think it would be beneficial to bring on one or more of the moms that were actually there so they can give us all the behind-the-scenes and their take on it because at this point you’re just recapping a show that you weren’t on which is kind of bizarre.

i love back to the barre. i love the bts stories, the banter that kelly and christi have, and how funny this podcast is! christi and kelly are my favorite moms on dance moms, and i was so happy that i found this podcast! i love listening to this podcast in the car to swim practice, before bed, or while doing chores. again, it’s a really good podcast.

These two have me laughing out loud in the office frequently. They have built up such a good rapport over the years and it’s such a pleasure to listen

I’ve been a dance mom’s fan until the Hylands and Chloe left. I’ve also always been a huge Christi and Kelly fan and love the podcast with all the field notes and behind the scenes info! I’ve been listening to this podcast since they’ve started and I’m a little concerned about Kelly’s coughing as she drinks. I’m a speech-language pathologist and part of my scope of practice is swallowing. Sometimes with strokes, intensive chemotherapy and radiation, etc people can develop dysphagia, which essentially means thin liquids are going into your lungs. One of the key signs is coughing when drinking and the wet/crackling vocal quality immediately after. I’ve been putting off saying something because I don’t want to invade on your personal life, and it’s none of my business. But this can lead to serious pneumonia, so please mention the coughing when drinking to your doctor, you may need a swallow study!

I’ve been a BTTB listener & Patreon subscriber since the first year of the show. Huge fan of both hosts. Ever since the switch to video podcasts, I’ve been noticing an influx of issues. From captions no longer being time synced to the feed glitching out because of the video playing in the background. The only upside is that this update has made the 30+ minute talk-about-nothing intros much shorter. Hopeful for a fix.

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.
