What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Best takes on the SH drama! You’re both so awesome at being able to discuss all sides to this mess, especially the nuances in that there is no perfect victim and everyone is being exploited. This is literally the only podcast I listen to where I get to giggle, nod my head, and not roll my eyes!

RarelyImpressed79 · May 2026

All of Noor’s giggles lately have really made my day! It seems like she’s having a good time and laughing with her guests and it’s contagious! It’s refreshing to have these moments of laughter. Feels like just hanging out with your friends and getting the giggles together. Love it! <3

Noor gives the perfect mix of real life and Bravo. I love her dynamic with Raheel and Aarti! Perfect timing with the RHONY rewatch pods since I’m rewatching. I forgot how amazing Scary Island was lol.

Zeenat M · Jan 2026

Noor has given me so much joy since I started listening to the pod 4.5 years ago! She and her amazing guests routinely make my days better- I always look forward to new episodes!
