    I really enjoy this show and I’m so glad Maureen can be seen and heard daily (and not just as a guest on MK’s show…another fav). The MK sponsored shows are all excellent. The Nerve’s topics, guests, candor and humor are the best!

    I get that your brand is negativity, but who and what do you actually like and respect? It’s so easy to reach for the low hanging fruit, but can you share your thoughts on things that can get us out of the gutter? I love how straightforward and direct you are. I’d like to hear your thoughts on things that are more inspiring.

  • Enjoy the podcast

    Very good podcast. Not surprising based on your appearances on M. Kelly and your writing in the Post and Daily Mail. I don’t know how you have the stomach to report on Harry and Meghan. Two narcissistic, needy clowns.

  • Good job out of the gate!

    I enjoyed listening to you with Meghan Kelly. Your new show is comprehensive while offering short assessments of hot topics. I can tell you are already settled in and are comfortable with what you are doing. You report effortlessly but we know you work 24-7 to get ready. Good job and good luck. And I like the smoky eyes! And like the jewelry.
