Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Hi Heather, I’m a hairstylist and a client recommended your podcast to me years ago. I had just started listening to podcasts then and needed something juicy. At the time I was struggling personally with addiction and was newly sober "again" I needed a distraction and something to shift my focus. I leaned hard into your podcast and listened to every single episode. I joined patreon $20 tier and I listened in my car, while I cleaned my house, while I tended to my kids, while I grocery shopped, I enjoyed every minute and every story. I am now almost 7 years sober and I really feel like that is partially because I leaned on you and your show. It got me through some really hard times. What you do is so special and you really have a talent and a passion for it. I do feel like maybe I lean a little too much on podcasting for a distraction/vacation from my brain but I'll take that, rather than addiction. My life has changed so much in a positive way....l'm getting emotional writing this. I just want to say thank you. You deserve all the success in the world. It is a super power to be as confident as you are and I really feel like you just enjoy yourself and your life and it's really refreshing actually. Don't ever lose that! Oh and I also came to your live show in Sacramento where I live and brought my husband. He looooved your Romona impression and laughed out loud at that. We had a great time and I want to come again. Take care, I just love and adore you.

I love hearing your podcasts and starting my day with your thoughts & stories. You’re hilarious and relatable. There’s days I need that laugh, motherhood and life are hard so thank you!

I love the this show for it’s fabulous mix of topics and guests. Heather is a “delightful”Hostess and always makes the shows fun and informative. I started listening initially, just for Reality show info/tea and then was pleasantly surprised by the plethora of interesting topics and rotation of wonderful guests. Now I really look forward to my Tuesday & Thursdays Juicy Scoop fix!

Heather is masterful at story telling and taking listeners on a journey through her hot takes on all things pop culture! From her witty insights on current events to her celebrity friends who make regular co-host appearances, Juicy Scoop is truly a hilarious treat.

Heather seems disconnected from how the majority of people live, possibly due to her wealth and proximity to Hollywood.This disconnect creates a lack of relatability for listeners. Her remarks often come across as harshly critical of women.This contributes to a tone that feels judgment and counterproductive for a largely female audience.Claims to not be political but frequently reveals right-leaning views.The tone can feel divisive or alienating for listeners who don’t share her perspective. Over time, her delivery has become increasingly inaccurate, with facts often misrepresented -leading to declining content quality. The lack of organization or thorough research makes the content less engaging and reliable. There’s a sense that Heather struggles with self-acceptance, and this negativity seeps into her commentary

I subscribed expecting material that surpasses the original podcast. Turns out, these bonus episodes are Terrible. There’s no “juicier” scoop, Heather talks about pretty much the same stuff, and on top of it all, she sounds super unprepared and just ranting about random stuff that is difficult to follow. Total fail or a subscriber podcast.
