Trashy Divorces - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I got introduced to Trashy Divorces by listening to the Done & Dunne podcast. I originally did not think that TD would be my thing, I couldn’t of been more wrong! This show is a gem, the chemistry between the hosts is awesome and without meaning to be condescending, they’re kind of adorable, their research is impeccable and I love that they mix up the eras of the famous divorces. They treat their subject matter with empathy when deserved and also humor when deserved. An extra bonus is the occasional appearance/mention of their feisty cats. Pour yourself a glass of wine and give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.

I started listening to these ladies when I wanted something lighter to listen to than the true crime podcasts I’d been playing (one can only take so much blood, death, and narcissistic psychosis). These two, especially Stacey, generally crack me up, and I find all the background information they discuss in the lives of the people they present really interesting. It’s thoroughly entertaining! However, after hearing a few recent episodes, I decided to go back and listen from the very beginning, and I noticed that in many of the episodes, at least of earlier years, Alicia really goes off on political rants (perhaps after imbibing a bit) and it’s been a bit cringeworthy at times. I’m pretty middle of the road politically, leaning more left on some issues and more right on others, and I’ve known all kinds of people with all kinds of political leanings, most of whom have added something positive (big or small) to my life. I’ve learned to accept and respect people regardless of their political beliefs after befriending wonderful people who I absolutely disagree with politically. I don’t hold it against them. However, after hearing some of the (seemingly drunken?) rants Alicia has gone on in some episodes, I get the feeling she despises anyone who doesn’t agree with her 100% concerning politics — and this would likely be me. This has been a turnoff, and it’s kind of put a damper on listening to this otherwise great podcast. Do I really want to listen to someone who may hate me if they were to meet me? My unsolicited advice: Remember that not everyone believes as you do, political differences don’t make either person a bad human being, and perhaps stick to the trashy divorce story and leave the politics at the door. I get that it’s your podcast and you can do whatever you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you SHOULD do it. I realize you probably have tons of listeners who totally agree with you, and that’s fine, but the world is a big place and there are lots of people who don’t. That’s fine too. You otherwise seem really nice, you’re funny, and your shows are really entertaining. I’d hate for people who would enjoy your podcast to miss out on it because they were turned off.

Perhaps one of the best podcasts including their additional spinoffs. This couple is so intune that everything comes off seamless despite I’d assume are loosely scripted. It feels like a conversation with friends. If I had to get rid of all podcasts but one, this would be the one I kept. Trashy sorta. Informative , definitely.

Listening to Stacie and Alicia is like being in a kitchen or living room with friends and sharing stories about celebs. Fun show.

The quality of the podcast has really taken a hit. In the earlier days of the podcast the stories were presented in an entertaining way, the silliness of most of the subjects could be laughed at by all including the hosts. Lately, the co host Stacy seems to have turned very angry, the once fun banter seems to have disappeared leaving behind awkward pauses. It’s just not fun to listen anymore.
