What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I like this podcast, I like the info they share and all the research they put into it, but Juliette interrupts and talks over Chelsea a LOT and it’s super annoying to listen to. I can’t imagine how Chelsea remained cohosts with her for so long. I would’ve quit after the first season. It’s also distracting when their email notification sounds ping, but that I can handle more than constantly hearing Juliette interrupting Chelsea. Juliette could make her own podcast where she’s the only one talking.

This podcast is so informative and fun and witchy! Juliet often calls her readers and followers “besties” and you will feel like your witchy besties are talking shop with you over coffee or wine. I listen to all the episodes repeatedly. It helps when I’m feeling stagnant in my practice. The lore about the plants is fascinating and and brought about more appreciation for the plants I already work with. Can not wait for the next season! My only complaint is there are not enough episodes in a season, though I know they’re busy people 🖤

Stumbled on this and absolutely love it. I love that they talk about how indigenous practices are seen throughout current traditions of colonizers. Plus, its fascinating hearing their perspective of 2020 in hindsight.

I’m hooked! This is such a wonderful introduction to plants. I’ve been able to take in their information and use it in my own practices with my own spin on it. The freedom to work without restraints has really made me blossom into the best Witch I can be! Thanks so much to you both!

Based on the name of the podcast I thought there would be actual discussions about plants and herbs. I tried to listen to the mandrake episode but couldn’t finish it. This is probably a good podcast for teenagers or “baby witches” who are into WitchTok culture but if you’re looking for actual in-depth content, keep looking.

The Juniper Episode was awful when it comes to Juliet. What she said about her neighbors was so mean spirited and hateful I had to listen to something else to get the taste out of my mouth. The idea that she needs “protection” from her neighbors because they simply asked if she wanted to take a walk with them is ridiculous. She even talked about wanting them to move out of/lose their house because they had the audacity to be kind to her. It’s so mean it felt gross to listen to, had to turn it off. I started listening to this podcast because I adore Witch Baby Soap. I’m still going to support Chelsea’s store, but I definitely won’t let Juliet’s negativity influence me anymore. I don’t wish ill upon her, just wish she wouldn’t be so hateful, it makes the podcast hard to listen to.
