What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is the smartest podcast in my rotation. These two women have taught me so much about media literacy that it’s almost embarrassing. I’m obsessed.

Daryl Hall · Sep 2026

I’ve followed Meredith and Amanda individually on TikTok for the past six years, so when they joined forces last year, I knew I’d be tuning in twice a week for their take on the current Royal-tea (lol, see what I did there?). Their commentary is fresh, modern, and genuinely entertaining, while their mission to promote media literacy encourages listeners to think critically about the information we consume. I feel like I have a kindred spirit in Meredith. As a fellow millennial ADHD mom, I’m right there with her when she bursts into song or goes off on a tangent. I see you, Queen! 😂 Amanda is the perfect counterbalance to Meredith’s beautiful chaos. 😂 She gently reins her in while bringing a thoughtful, intelligent, and well-informed perspective to every episode. Her background in art history adds fascinating context and depth, and her warmth and humor complement Meredith perfectly. What I love most about Off With Their Headlines is that they never simply tell you what to think. They make you laugh, make you think, and encourage you to question how stories are presented. It’s the perfect blend of smart, funny, insightful, and just the right amount of chaotic. If you’re interested in the Royal Family, pop culture, or becoming a more media-literate consumer while having a good laugh, give these two Queens a listen. 👑

Me 73815 · Aug 2026

I had a very mild interest in royal stuff and decided to give OWTH a chance. I’m so glad I did because Meredith and Amanda sucked me in! They both have great voices, amazing chemistry together and are some of the funniest hosts I’ve listened to, which I wouldn’t expect from a royal podcast. I could listen to them talk about anything, they’re amazing.

sweet 456 · Jan 2026

I found Amanda on TikTok before QE2 passed and Meredith shortly after. I have been hooked since then. I love the way she calls out the hypocrisy of the royals and how Meredith digs deep to reveal connections and remind us of dumb articles years past. I cannot live without these two ladies and their insights.

Monique9317 · Dec 2025

I DO like Harry and Meghan, but this podcast often feels like basic propaganda - I don’t think this helps H&M. The conversation can come across as uncomfortable with forced laughter at times. I really wanted to like this podcast, but breaking everything into black and white is simply lazy.
