  • Your mom and my mom

    We share a sad anniversary… 25 Aug 2023… that Friday afternoon I was told mom had one week to live, and I went to pay bills as Power of Attorney…. She passed at 9:50pm that night. Three years later still grieving. I feel your loss, and wish you well. Long time listener

  • An okay podcast

    I had come to this show after Ryan had guested on another one and appreciate his takes on things. I then decided to give his show a listen, first episode I chose was really good, the next couple were unbearable to get through… the weird voices mocking all the different people we watch on these shows, I get it’s supposed to be funny, but I find it quite annoying and hard to listen to. I’ve also listened to many other bravo podcasts and Kaya (which seems to be pronounced Kay a) he calls her Kai a,... more

  • Please take a nap

    Five stars bc I love your recaps, but you’ve gotta figure out your schedule. You stammered and stuttered all the way through The Valley recap. (Not to mention the impossible listen that was you reading the article…) I couldn’t finish it. You might have had a baby but the listeners didn’t.

West Wilson DUNZO + Jess Rothschild on Finding Fire Island and Summer House!
Q: Can you describe what makes Finding Fire Island feel like a documentary even though it's a podcast?
It uses archival photos, direct interviews with people who lived the history, and a sound design that guides the narrative, making viewers feel like they're watching a visual documentary.
TLC's Little Singles Cast (Stephanie, Sammy, John) + What To Watch This Week
Q: How did the show come together and how were you approached by the production team?
They explain being reached out to via Shed Media, a Zoom call that pivoted from a prank-show concept to a house-based dating format, and their process of inviting friends to join, which led to the Palm Springs setting.
Love Island USA Episodes 5-9 with Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen!!
Q: Who do you think is playing the game hardest right now, and who seems to be focused more on relationships?
Zack and Kada are playing cautiously, trying to stay open while not fully committing too early; Kinsey and Caleb look more like a potentially strong pairing for a win, but the dynamics remain volatile with bombshells complicating loyalties.
Love Island USA Episodes 5-9 with Carsten "Bergie" Bergersen!!
Q: What do you think is going through the islanders' heads as they build new relationships while the game is always in the back of their minds?
They're likely weighing genuine connection against strategic moves, trying to protect their position while not tipping off their true intentions to the public and fellow islanders.
Love Island, Summer House, Reality TV & West Wilson with E! Hot Goss's Eyal Booker and Lonnie Marts!
Q: How did Hot Goss start and how did you two meet?
We met through a sauna-based audition process where both of us were paired as hosts; the format clicked and we built a friendship that evolved into the show.
