A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
Kempire is above and beyond almost every other pop culture podcast. First, kempire is so well spoken and well stated that it’s actually changed my mind on topics. That leads into the next reason this podcast is exceptional- EVERY OPINION IS HEARD! (As long as you have a fully developed frontal lobe and act with respect). Finally, the one thing that absolutely makes this the best - THE COMMUNITY! I love hearing everybody’s voices and opinions and they all treat each other respectfully. Love this ❤️ even if I am an emotional cancer!!! 🫣

I loved the show initially. The commentary always felt fresh and respectful. But the last few months it’s like there’s been a change. The show seems so negative. He speaks about people as if he knows them personally. He snaps at people in his live show if they don’t agree with him. It feels like I’m listening to a narcissist go on and on. I had to block his social media accounts because of the rude comments he kept making. Maybe he’s going through something but I am no longer entertained. Best of luck in whatever you’re going through.

I found Kempire on YouTube a few months ago and LOVE his takes and recaps on Hot Topics and reality tv. He’s funny and factual, best combo for informative entertaining listening!!!
DenizwithaZ · Dec 2025
I really enjoy the wide range of show reviews and find the commentary both funny and engaging. It’s clear a lot of effort goes into the content. One suggestion would be to tighten up some areas — addressing technical issues ahead of time and streamlining the self-promotion and live show mentions could help the episodes flow even better. A bit more refinement with the sound effects would also elevate the overall listening experience. Looking forward to seeing the show continue to grow!
