What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Maureen Is fun, engaging and absolutely hilarious at times. I didn’t think I would be the kind of person who would enjoy this type of podcast, however she is so engaging and puts a crazy funny spin on everyday topics, including politics that I find myself agreeing with more often than not I feel like if we were neighbors would be the ones that stood at the end of the driveway after work, talking for a couple hours and laughing. I recommend the show

I enjoy Maureen so much. I was so stoked when she got her own show, as I always got excited when MK would have her on. I don’t always agree with her takes but I love that, she gets the conversation going in different ways and I love hearing other perspectives! She’s bold, honest unafraid but also is kind in her brutal honesty, if that makes sense. I also respect that she stays A political in this environment as I go to her show when I’m needing a break from all that. LOVE when she has Rob on! Would love some fun wood chipper merch btw. Keep slayin it sis!

I’m a day 1 listener and can’t get enough. Maureen is brilliant, funny, and never pulls her punches. The Nerve is moving the culture!

Maureen is the ultimate cultural criminal prosecutor! People complaining that she is a just a hater have totally missed the point of the show! She brings attention to celebrity pop culture scandals, bad behavior, narcissism, media manipulation, and other offenses by Hollywood elites, etc… She is witty, smart, and her vocabulary and expansive use of the English language is impressive. I have to admit I’ve had to look up a few words! 😂 She is also a writer, and I’ve read 2 of her books. One about the Kennedy women “Ask Not”, and “American Predator”. Both books were really good! I’ve never missed an episode, but I do have a request! With such an amazing vocabulary and so many words to choose from, could you please dial back the F bombs a little? 😊 Sometimes I want to share something with my Mom or kids and need it PG-13. ~Troublemaker Mama Katy 🫶🏻

I was a daily listener for a while and then realized it’s just the same thing every single day. The host seems to be constantly absent or at least the shows don’t come out with any true regularity. Every day at least half of the show is something about Oprah or Harry and Meghan. Gets very old very fast. She also is constantly complaining about men. Took me a couple of months, but this is definitely a hard pass and not worth your time.

JDNNYC · Aug 2026

I really wanted to like this podcast. It always has such interesting topics, but then when I listen to it I just hear the host talk so negatively about people. It doesn’t make them look bad it makes HER look bad.
