BOBBYAI1 · Jan 2025

My Absolute Favorite Podcast!! I’ve listened since day one. Never disappoints. David has all the latest tea on all things Bravo. A must listen.

csanders 35 · Dec 2024

I have been listening since the beginning and I love the David solo’s and David interviews, but I also love the David Sara twice-weekly co hosted eps! Seriously? These two are so great together- a modern day Regis and Kelly. Love the way they can disagree on takes and be respectful, and I also love the humor these two have without even intending to be funny. I will cackle every time Sara says with sass “Ms. Yontef…” 😂. This show is my escapism and has genuinely helped my mental health improve over the years. 💜

SPH723 · Dec 2024

David’s podcast is an absolute gem for anyone obsessed with the behind-the-scenes of reality TV, celebrity gossip, and pop culture. His insider access, honest takes, and deep-dive interviews with reality stars, celebrities, icons and industry experts are unmatched. His conversational style makes you feel like you’re sitting in on a juicy, unfiltered chat with your favorite Bravo stars. Whether it’s spilling tea or tackling tough questions, this podcast never disappoints. If you’re not listening yet, you’re missing out! Love my daily dose of David!

Daniellevictorias · Nov 2024

I used to be a loyal listener and Patreon subscriber. I listened to an ep for the first time in a while and it’s just too negative. Pop culture is a clown show and I prefer pods that lead with humorous analysis. This podcast is mostly just housewives drama with a negative spin. It’s so tired. David can do whatever he wants-it’s his pod. But I’m moving on to pods that make me smile.

Stoney2322 · Jan 2025

I tried but I just can’t. He tries desperately to fit in with the housewives and treats others flippantly- as if their opinions aren’t as important as his due to his “social standing”. I love the Housewives but the desperation is too strong with this one and he takes himself too seriously about his connections. If he laughed at the absurdity of it, he would be much more palatable.
