What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I would give 5 if Juliette would let Callie finish a sentence. Juliette also switches her opinions within the same conversation. It’s so frustrating to listen to her waffle while interrupting Callie’s great stories. For example, her Martha’s Vineyard story was emblematic of the island, but Juliette missed the whole point. Callie make me laugh out loud on a regular basis.

Skyepeg · Aug 2026

For me it’s a must listen the day it comes out. Great chemistry and it covers all the shows I care about!

Casey R! · Jun 2026

These two have incredible chemistry. I love their banter. It’s obvious that outside of the show they are true friends. It’s fun when they (slightly) disagree on topics — I love hearing their hot takes! They’re well informed, funny and intelligent. I could (and do) listen to them discuss television for hours. They’re the best.

Eliz360 · Jun 2026

I’m a huge Juliet stan and have been listening to her for years, but absolutely love the addition of Callie. If I see their podcast in my queue, I immediately listen. Appreciate that they don’t censor their beliefs to make listeners happy. We ask women to do that more than enough in life, it doesn’t need to be done here and I appreciate that they don’t yield to the pressure of some of those inane requests. Keep it up ladies! We love to hear EVERYTHING you have to say

dcp4 · Jun 2026

I have been listening to Bachelor Party for almost 7 years. In the past year I have really struggled to listen to the episodes due to the inaccuracies. I do not consider myself a Bachelor expert however often feel like I am catching factual errors that the hosts are making. There is little to no fact checking on claims which is disappointing coming from a reputable network! I also have felt that the hosts are out of touch with normal people who watch and go on the show! I have listened to other podcasts with Juliet as a guest and juxtaposing those with BP makes it clear her heart isn’t in this pod anymore. Maybe time for her to focus on other projects and hire a new person for this one!

bachfan1234 · Oct 2024

I love Callie & Juliet and part of my enjoyment of watching The Bachelor franchise for me is getting to listen to their commentary. I genuinely enjoy these ladies. However, it seems like they have an increasing disdain for the show and dedicate less and less time on episodes. Juliet used to bring on other guests on Thursdays to get their take on the ep and it was so fun. I’m disappointed and now the name of the show feels disingenuous. I get why they would want to keep the audience they already have with the name, but it’s just a real bummer.
