Reviews
Well produced, lots of potential with unique "expert" guests. Lately however, the host Moreen Writer Calahoon gets upset over every little thing and clearly has a bias toward men.
Not everything is an outrage or needs over-analysis. Also, the "just my opinion" comment added after every statement is just ridiculous. Completely unneeded and pointless. This show started off great and has its moments but those moments are getting less and less. Hopefully things improve soon or I'm out...
Podcast Addict39 days agolechuza007- Brutally honest is the best way
How did I get into listening to celebrity gossip? I honestly could care less about these people, but Maureen and team just deliver the dirt with such truth, humor, and insight that I can't help myself but tune in. Her celeb analysis can be applied to people in your own life. You know a narcissist and head case when you meet one (just my opinion!). Maureen just calls out these cultural offenders for who they are.

United States10 days ago - I listen every week
Real talk about fake people — I find this show to be a relief from the PR machine of the dominant media. Regarding GLP-1s, I hope she has on a doctor (e.g. Peter Attia) to present the evidence in favor of using them.
Apple Podcasts5M-ExpressUnited States14 days ago - Too mean girl
I don’t like how she is so mean girl focused. So negative. I like someone who can look at the situation with a little empathy. Life is rarely black and white and mostly gray.
