Bad On Paper - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I listen to a lot of podcasts and this one is in my top 3. I look so forward to the hosts banter each week because it comes off so genuine. They sort of seem like opposites - Olivia is super laid back and easy going whereas Becca seems like more the extroverted of the two, with less of a filter. There is literally not ever an episode where they don't make me laugh. They really seem to like each and respect one another and each gets equal airtime that seems to just come naturally, like two friends shooting the breeze. The combination is just perfection. Both are probably young enough to be my daughters (or me their very fun older aunt!) but I think their appeal goes out to women of all ages. They are just enough quirky to feel fresh and something different without being over the top or weird. Long live Bad on Paper.

I want to second Olivia’s “Jesus Christ “ comment, this had me rolling and dying of laughter. On a day where I definitely needed something to lighten my mood this was 100% the thing to do it. This was absolutely hilarious.
Absolutely love you two!

Edited: love the the new duo! Grace will be missed but she isn’t far from our hearts or content ❤️

Missed my friends while you were taking a break. So glad to be able to listen to you banter back and forth over the serious and silly. Sometimes we just need a little bit of familiarity during these crazy COVID times, you bring the laughs and a bit of reprieve from it all. Thank you ❤️

This is one of the few podcasts I keep coming back to—it feels comforting, like sitting down for tea with two close friends.

I’ve seen reviews about the hosts’ attitudes, and while I understand where those impressions might come from, I honestly believe they say more about the listener than the hosts. These kinds of judgments are exactly why people feel hesitant to speak freely or be themselves.

What makes this podcast special is its authenticity and the genuine connection between the hosts - that’s exactly what many listeners love about it. If it’s not for you, that’s totally fine, don’t listen. Just don’t let your personal projections diminish what others appreciate.

This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts and I’m always happy to see a new episode has dropped! It truly feels like chatting with friends and I love all of the behind-the-scenes book/publishing info!! The interviews with authors and book club episodes are also super well done!

I used to really enjoy listening to this uplifting and bookish podcast, but it has recently become quite problematic and unsettling for me to listen to. Becca’s condescending and unkind attitude towards Olivia is really off-putting and Olivia’s undertones of hatefulness and resentment towards Christians and those of different political leanings than her own is so saddening and confusing considering her apparent value on tolerance. This podcast just feels like cringe after cringe. I want the old BOP back!
