Love Island: The Morning After - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been a massive Love Island fan for years and always loved The Morning After from Kem and Arielle to Sam and Indiyah but I really want to acknowledge how witty, sharp, and quippy Amy is! She really is the Hart of the show and her and Indiyah (who I absolutely love too) have such great hosting chemistry. We never got to see Amy’s true personality when she was on Love Island so it’s great that it really shines through now. I’m loving this show!

Obsessed with Love Island and love the morning-after podcast. Having ex-contestants is the best to get insider info (with the exception of Sam as he was such a great superfan last year). Indiyah is phenomenal! I love her take and insights. Can we have a few more Indiyah and Dami episodes please? Amy is lovely, so dry and great observations and Chris is fun.

Getting the scoop from recently evicted Islanders is great. Perhaps an interview with Maya? Loved this season, yay for getting rid of the stupid baby episode, loved the twists and turns.

I listen to this because I love Love Island but it’s often a painful listen.

Here’s why…

- Sam and Indiyah are very grating. They spend a LOT of time talking about their own relationships with Zara and Dami. In the most polite way possible, nobody cares. This is a Love Island podcast, not a ‘Sam and Indiyah Relationship Catch-Up.’ I think Sam is a lot better in his other podcast with Pete Wickes.

- Indiyah comes off insincere or preachy sometimes.

- Horrible bias. Sam’s comments that Tyrique WILL cheat on Ella on the outside were baseless. Sam doesn’t have a crystal ball. Nobody knows what Tyrique will be like as a boyfriend. It creates a false narrative about certain islanders.

- The very obvious generic producer-generated questions about events of the show. “Would you ever get back with an ex?” For example. Just stick to talking about the show and Islanders!!

- So many guests are not needed.

The episodes with Will Manning and Amy Hart are fine and much more peaceful to listen to because they don’t yell like Sam does (sorry)

Now here is how I think this podcast can really soar… scrap Sam and Indiyah. Replace them with Luke Kempner, Kae Kurd and Whitney. Luke and Kae have been the main reason I tuned in week after week. They were great guests and a lot more objective. They’d bounce off each other I think! Add Whitney to the mix because she has the personality that I think is expected from Indiyah. Trust me producers… you’ll hit the podcast jackpot with this combination of hosts fronting next season.

It’s an entertaining listen & good insight, however, you can tell that Indiyah is very biased. For example, you can tell she does not like Luca which greatly colors her reporting of him in the villa.
