New Yorker listener here! I am so happy this podcast has come into my life. as a journalist and pop culture junkie, I love the amount of thought, research and heart Mich and Zara put in to every episode. they are truly so intentional and considerate in their analyses and banter. this pod always brings a smile to my face and makes me feel like I’m chatting with my best friends!

beckybomb · Dec 2024

These ladies were so entertaining and funny listening to. They are very sweet and seem to have a very nice repore and relate to each others various opinions with respect and understanding. They aren’t loud and obnoxious and sincerely do a great podcast

I have been listening to shameless for about five years (probably about time I reviewed!). Absolutely love it and feel (weirdly, parasocially) proud of the girls for how far they and their business have come! The Thursday eps are my way of staying connected to the pop culture world - always appreciate their views even if I don’t necessarily always agree (isn’t that why we listen to podcasts, to hear alternate perspectives?). Also love scandal, always excited to dive into stories I remember from back when, or learn something new in the eps about things that I missed! Keep up the good work girls!

FleurC13 · Aug 2024

I love this podcast and all their takes and I love how they ethically consume pop culture. They have fun without being “obsessed.” My favorite balance of pop culture consumption!

mcn1130 · May 2024

I have been listening for awhile and while I don’t agree with everything, I do enjoy the pop culture gossip and recommendations. I just listened to the Kate cancer diagnosis episode. I think you guys, especially Zara, really let yourself off the hook. On the previous episode, you girls were literally cackling while talking about Kate Middleton. Listen to it back, it’s pretty disgusting. In this episode you were really stretching to make how you acted seem ok. It honestly makes your normal wokeism seem totally shallow. Do you really care about women? About a women’s health? Do you care about health privacy? Or do we only care about those things if the person is not royal? Is not rich? Is not white? It is definitely disappointing. I’m still listening and will change the review if I feel differently. It just would have been nice to hear someone 100% own up to behaving badly rather than a flaccid mea culpa at the beginning and then an examination of every possible reason under the sun that justifies that bad behavior.

I wanted to like this podcast as a fellow pop culture enthusiast but wow the tone has been off. I can deal with the incessant “1000%” retorts or the constant insertion of Taylor Swift into EVERY news story even when it doesn’t make sense (girls, she has not attended the Met Gala in years, of course she wouldn’t be at this one). But the Meghan and Harry episode felt heavily biased and almost hateful. It is very clear that these women do not like Meghan Markle, and glossed over her racist treatment in favor of calling her petty and annoying repeatedly. It honestly reeks of white supremacy and makes their attempts at being racially inclusive (like the aboriginal disclaimer at the end of each podcast) seem inauthentic. Here they had the opportunity to be an ally to a black woman facing unprecedented public abuse and instead contributed to the problem. No one is claiming Meghan Markle is a saint, but your coverage of her was far from fair and made me lose all respect for them at pop culture journalists and explorers. I’ll get my pop culture hot takes somewhere that isn’t racist, thanks ✌️
