What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love Kate’s podcast. Been a listener for over 5 years! I look forward to her What to Watch List every week. And she gets the best guests - whether it’s abt sports, documentaries, pop culture- she has the connections. Or makes the connections!! I look forward to listening every week. Always a treat!

Kristinkharrison · Dec 2025

Every episode has great interviews. Her takes are the voice of reason on so many shows and docs. My favorite are the bravo episodes but I learn so much from all of her podcast episodes! Great tv recommendations always and the best curated list of what to watch.

UA_LRod · Dec 2025

Kate Casey is like my west coast friend who keeps me updated on the latest and greatest in pop culture and entertainment. She also mixes in stories of her interesting life and personal history. She is also very knowledgeable about famous historical figures, especially the Kennedy family. There is something for everyone! Plus her Philly area roots don’t hurt either. Ha! Follow this show, you will be glad you did.

Jojoh1991 · Dec 2025

I’ve been listening to Kate for probably 5 years now anyway. She gets all the guests you’d expect, but also gives us stories of people you would never expect. Like Ann Fessler, author of “The Women Who Went Away.” Kate asks the best questions, is always prepared and has done her research. A very thoughtful interviewer.

NHWalker · Dec 2025

Kate had Nancy Salzman of Nxivm on and just lets Nancy (who has been convicted of coercive behavior) self promote and push her it wasn’t me PR bull without pushing back. Nancy is very clever and knew exactly who to go to, to push her narrative. Nancy went to someone who wouldn’t push back. A doormat. Someone who lacks critical thinking skills or the ability to ask thoughtful questions. Someone like Kate. Kate could have done a ton of research on Nancy and would have been prepared to be manipulated. Not sure if she did or was just too pompous to believe she could be manipulated. If this is Kate’s attempt to expand her audience, she only showed she is easily manipulated. She also shows she lacks depth. Especially, when she is asking a grown woman about an overly shallow, naive concept like beta and alpha relationships or romantic entanglements. Kate got played and showed the rest of us she should stay in her area of competency of talking about tv shows and pop culture. Kate Casey you demeaned yourself by giving voice to Nancy, an unrepentant manipulator. You made the world a worse place by giving her a platform.

Blahblahcrashblahblah · Dec 2025

Not one mention of the cash found in her basement, just glossed over the pay structure and how they were an MLM taking advantage of people and the multiple folks that felt taken advantage of in ESP and the unethical medical work they were doing with Tourette’s. It wasn’t just a sex cult, Nancy herself was doing dangerous work and this softball of an interview was irresponsible.
