Thanks for all of the laughs. The best podcast out there. Nothing trendy here, just honest laughs. Love Heather’s solo episodes and she always has the best repeat guests. Love Chris, Brandy & Julie and hearing about Raven (you’ll place again one day) I will always be a fan. Visit Cincy please!
SeaEverythingwithme2026! · Sep 2026
I love your show! You have no idea how many sleepless nights I’ve come to your YouTube and watched any and all! So I never really listened to the podcast. But driving makes me very anxious so I tend to not listen to anything. But Chris was on and couldn’t miss it. And Heather!! I laughed and giggled and drove that first hour and 10 minutes absolutely calm! So now that’s what I do. Bet you never thought you’d be better than a Xanax! But here we are! Thank you and Chris and brandy and Julie and your sister for juicy crimes! Love from NJ

I have been listening to Juicy Scoop since the first episodes! Heather has stayed true to who she is since day one and is always incredibly entertaining and hilarious! I love the housewife recaps/opinions and listening to the various guests she has on. I enjoy hearing about her personal life as well and I’ll be a listener for as long as the podcast is available! Highly recommend the Patreon and also the true crime podcast! I fall asleep and wake up listening to Juicy Scoop and I’ll always be a fan! Thank you Heather!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Heather McDonald & I LOVE this podcast.
The recent Sugar Baby episode where the guest goes on a diatribe about how taking birth control pills caused an out of control increase in her sex drive & made her more promiscuous is cuckoo cuckoo bananas 😂
Overall, it’s a fun listen - highly recommend
NotoriousMLE · Dec 2024
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
BKK2026 · Dec 2024
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.
