  • More trash, less memoir

    I still enjoy the podcast from time to time but I feel like it has slowly pivoted into being about reality TV. I know other topics are covered too but I really miss when the focus was on women-centric celebrity memoirs.

  • Okay

    As someone who has left and is deconstructing from a cult, I find some of the banter / conversation kind of glib. While the information and opinions in this podcast are interesting enough, they clearly don understand the actual fat teaching effects of the religious abuse and trauma.

  • Great podcast

    Not only is the subject matter interesting, Chelsea, her guests and producers do a great job of challenging one another and injecting different viewpoints. I also really admire Chelsea for not shying away from feedback and keeping the podcast within an appropriate topical scope to allow everyone to enjoy it - yes, it’s feminist but doesn’t make the reductive assumption that all feminists align on everything else.

  • My favorite

    This is hands down my favorite podcast. Everyday I check to see if Chelsea has dropped a new podcast. Chelsea is funny and open to talk about anything. She is a caring soul, knows lots of people, and has a million friends. There is something about her voice I adore, and when she took a break to work on her movie, the podcast was not the same. This is just a fun podcast, I thoroughly enjoy it. Her Needy Quarantine dog looks just like mine. We are clearly kindred souls.

  • Love the Podcast!

    Love the Podcast! I’d like to share on a topic in the episode: Ron Funches announced that he received an Autism diagnosis following his time in The Traitors. His adult son has an ASD diagnosis, so he’s been well aware of ASD for a long time, but it was his experience on The Traitors which made him decide to get himself evaluated and he did receive a diagnosis of ASD himself. I didn’t watch the show, but there is something to it if it brought someone in the spotlight for many years to deeply reev... more

Lisa Rinna’s Memoir You Better Believe I'm Gonna Talk About It (with Jo Feldman and Marcos Luevanos)
Q: Did you find the memoir vulnerable in its storytelling?
The panel felt there were vulnerable moments around family trauma, but much of the content skewed toward sensational or validated entertainment, with several lines suggesting the author is guarded about some topics.
