What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been a longtime listener of Kate’s podcast, and I love the variety she brings to each episode. From captivating stories that keep you completely engaged to the latest in reality TV, there’s always something interesting to listen to. Her guests add another layer to the conversation, bringing fresh perspectives and insight to whatever topic she’s covering that day. It’s hands down my favorite podcast and always the first one I turn on the minute I get in the car. I never want to miss an episode!

Kate, I have enjoyed your humor and wit since I ran into you in an OG podcast group (that had a very dramatic demise lol). I realized that you have a clever way of saying what I think but can’t articulate. I like how you ask questions and pull great interviews out of people. Hearing your life stories is really great. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us in sharing your life experiences.

Heather’s ArcMap · Sep 2026

I adore this podcast. Kate has an entertaining and thoughtful way of discussing new docs, interviewing and sharing compelling stories that is unmatched in my opinion. I truly enjoy her consistently intriguing content.

Beck Seik · Sep 2026

Kate is so thoughtful in every single episode. I appreciate how inquisitive she is, she gets the best guests, ask is the best questions, and is always creating relevant material. Have been listening to her for years and will continue to do so. Highly recommend this podcast for a million reasons!

A balanced soul Mel · Sep 2026

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.
