She has a way of making me intrigued about subjects I’ve never thought about, shows I haven’t seen, and celebrities I haven’t even heard of. I will sometimes consider skipping an episode when one I’m not familiar with pops up, but I am always glad I give listening a shot because I’m fully invested in minutes. Of course, most episodes don’t fall into this category, otherwise I wouldn’t be here. All this to say, she just has a way with making everything interesting! I love how real she is, how open-minded she is, and how quick she is to own up to any mistakes she may make as a human. She /definitely is not/ far right or right-leaning at all, she is liberal-leaning and actually thinks for herself. Also, not sure where all these recent claims about her not doing research are coming from. She literally lives for researching topics that spike her interest. Further, just because she covers a conspiracy, does not mean she believes the conspiracy, which she makes a point to note in her episodes. This is an entertainment podcast, not a news source. Not sure how anybody can miss that memo! Anyways, love her and she is a gem!

I’m an OG listener and a patron member!! I was first introduced to Shannon‘s beautiful thoughts and opinions on TikTok and quickly realized I found my weekly stable!!! Her voice and unique, genuine honesty for living her authentic self will forever keep me as fan. I tell all my first and co workers about fluently forward but secretly enjoy they’ve never heard it, YET!
P.S Anyone leave a review less than 5 stars will be hexed for life!

No matter the topic, Shannon’s voice is a soothing listen. I came for the inside scoops and speculations and am enjoying the practical tips even more! This is a great listen. Thank you.

I look forward to new episodes every week. Shannon is the only podcaster that has made me consider/plan on getting a Patreon account just so I can access more episodes. I love the way she organizes the show and the content she comes out with weekly. Keep the episodes comin’!

This podcast has been in a downward spiral over the past year. The host seems checked out and disinterested. She used to put a lot of work and effort into her old episodes, but now it seems like she barely does any research. There are too many incorrect facts and increasingly bizarre topics to make it worth my time.

I’m not even a Swifty and still find it troubling how often this girl brings up her hatred of Taylor Swift. Episode covering Jay-Z allegations? She of course brings up Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo TWICE before I turned it off. You are talking about a sexual assault case that has NOTHING to do with either of them, but my God she will find a way to bring up Taylor no matter the topic. We get it. You hate her. Move on.
