  • Too many podcasts

    Too many podcasts that don’t have Ben and Ashley I. Been listening since the beginning and I think I’m going to finally unsubscribe. From dirty rush to Trista’s new segment, to Bob’s new segment, there’s too many podcasts on the feed. We followed for recaps of the bachelor, not to bring back people we haven’t hear from in 15 years

  • Bach Guest Host & ads like no other

    Real talk, Bach Nation doesn’t know your producer or cares to. If 1 or even both of u can’t make it, at least bring in a guest host who’s from the fam.

    I agree w/ others who’s annoyed by the ridiculous amount of ads. I remember wanting to write when they all of a sudden switched to 5 min segments of those. U need to get paid, but other podcasts just aren’t as greedy. Even TV is 3 mins.

  • Please stop putting other shows in the feed

    Been listening since the beginning and this podcast feed is now a nightmare. Ten minutes of ads for a twenty minute episode. No need for a twenty minute episode- combine with another. And I hate how many other shows are now in the feed. Stop it! Its ridiculous- if I wanted to listen to them I would follow them.

  • Lauren for lyfe

    Having Lauren back in my ear holes is the ultimate and is truly giving me life. I miss I Don’t Get It so much because her takes were always my favorite. Yay!!! Also, I like when producer Heather comes on. Everyone else is just salty because they do not know how to skip the episodes/content that they do not want to listen to or how to skip ads.

  • Farmer wants a wife

    I too had to learn square dancing in high school and it terrified me as well. I am enjoying listening to you two. I have watched every season so far of this show. I really enjoy that the Cowboys are such gentleman.
