  • Always a Good Listen

    Couple of things. First, Ryan’s voice is so soothing - smooth and gravelly. TBH, sometimes I listen to old podcasts at night to be soothed to sleep! But more importantly, Ryan’s takes are always spot on, he never comes off as a douchey dude (he’s actually very self-aware) and in general just offers really good recaps and overall observations of my favorite Bravo shows. Also, his subtle impersonations of cast members are so funny - especially of The City - “Date Noit!” One of my favorite podcasts... more

  • love the show

    I love your show, truly.. daily listener.. but could do with less kaya wilson unfortunately, her takes are boring /never make sense and her voice is just reeeally hard on the ear. I legitimately get disappointed when I see she’s a guest… please have Kate Riccio / Josh Banfield on more, I really enjoyed them when you were on baby leave.

  • Condescending much Sophie

    Sophie is ruining the fun and humor of Ryan. Every episode with her she is “like omg, so condescending, hypocritical and loves to discriminate, loudly and proudly. I guess if you aren’t exactly like her and her lil “buzzwords” thrown out all the time, then I don’t think you are allowed to listen to the show. Put a waiver up Ryan if you feel that way because she’s running people off. I dont need lectured about life from a 30 something newly married no children just starting life woman. She s... more
