Casual Chaos - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Gia… i’ve been listening to podcasts for years…especially those that have anything to do with Bravo. This is the first time, however, that I’ve ever felt compelled to write to anyone who has a podcast. The interview that you did with Lexi was probably the most insightful, thoughtful, bare at all interview that I have ever had the privilege of listening to. You were so gentle with her - so kind - but yet did not miss any of the hard questions. Your heart is huge and it shows all the time. I just cannot believe that you are this sophisticated and smooth at your age already. Usually people have to be in the broadcast field for decades before they get to your level. I loved the repartee and the sensitivity that you and Lexi showed with one another. Your closeness was impossible to mask. Well, I’m not going to go on and on anymore; however, I did want to tell you that you now have a lifelong fan and I will never ever not listen to your podcast. It’s my favorite one of all and I cannot wait to hear the rest!!! Thank you, Gia.

Definitely looking forward to future episodes but just wanted to give some constructive feedback.

1) I don’t think the masses of her fanbase is the same demographic as her mother’s or even watched the show so there’s no point in talking about housewives drama. Let it go and stay in your lane of topics that actually interest you. You are more than that franchise so use this podcast as the platform to prove so. We don’t need a Turning The Tables 2.0 edition. 2) Although this was the pilot episode, it sounds as if she was reading off a script word for word. I understand the importance of having a script to ensure you’re staying on topic and hitting key talking points but she needs to practice with being more comfortable speaking organically (while strategic) as if she’s having a 1:1 conversation rather than reading line by line. In other words, this sounded more like an audiobook than a podcast. 3) The vocal fry needs improvement. As a vocal fry girlie myself when anxious, trust I understand but it made it hard to push through to the end of the episode.

Overall, the pilot wasn’t bad and with a few tweaks, I do think this podcast could be a success.

caught my self up on all the episodes during a long roadtrip, and I felt like I was talking to my childhood friend! Love the the storytelling and a young adult in my late 20s I can relate so much to Gia’s stories! Keep it up

I have to be honest, I came in wanting to hate the show, but Gia proved me wrong. She’s funny, honest, lighthearted, and you want to hear more.

It seems like everyone has a podcast these days. Unfortunately, Gia doesn’t come across as a strong host. The audio quality is poor, and her delivery feels flat. She’s not a great interviewer either—often focusing more on stirring up drama than meaningful conversation. First it was Riley, and now she’s bringing up personal issues with her uncle and aunt, which feels disrespectful. She rarely acknowledges any faults on her mom’s side and tends to portray herself as the victim.

I wanted to love this podcast as initially I thought Gia was doing such an amazing job with her podcast. She’s great at interviewing and asking good questions. Communication seems to come naturally for her. She was doing good until her interview with her mom turned into bashing and undermining her family. It comes across as salty. She and her mama need to work on true forgiveness and move along. People who are all about family don’t do these things. They work on humbleness and fixing, not tearing apart. If that’s not an option stick to other topics because I truly think Gia has potential but this is coming off as bitter and catty.
