    Tortured Betches
    I’m SO glad you guys like TTPD because I’m obsessed and not enough people are giving it the respect it deserves. As my Taylor Swift queens your opinions are really the only ones that matter.
  • ewj1993
    Easy listening and fun
    I love these girls and will listen to anything they put out (for the most part…). Feels like I’m listening to a convo with my BFFs

    Taylor Swift Stan Podcast
    See title. The podcast has turned into nothing but obsessing over Taylor swifts every move. It’s boring and a little pathetic

    Intolerable

    Sometimes great sometimes weird vibes
    I could listen to every podcast Jordana makes - missing her on brides but love her on @betches and u up. I love the girls’ chemistry but sometimes it feels like there is weird tension? Especially between Sami and Aleen. It always feels like Sami is trying to educate Jordana and Aleen too, but she is wrong half of the time? Overall I still enjoy it most of the time

    Sami
    Sami has become the most annoying person on the internet and for that reason I’m out
  • Sids1Mom
    I can’t with all the “likes”
    Good conversation among friends. Just listened to the most recent episode and the number of times they said the word “like” was maddening… sometimes multiple times in one sentence. Makes it really hard to listen to. Otherwise enjoy the pop culture topics.
  • jdch6
    Something’s off
    Want to love this pod but something’s always feeling off. They had such a weird giddy tone talking about Kate Middleton’s cancer and how they felt like they were in college finding the news out together…lol yay bonding over someone’s illness. Sami’s personality is a mix of faux-intellectual and Reddit troll which is tough to listen to. As a group they really just aren’t really in touch with pop culture so every topic feels so forced and they sound like Boomers.

    Fun pod could do less of housewives
    O God you girls are going to be sorry for all the Kate speculation now that the truth is out right after this latest episode. On the one hand, you say it is noone's business and then go on to comment on her body. Kind of disappointed . Bravo content is overtaking most of the conversations despite there being a dedicated Bravo podcast . Maybe you could do a poll to see what percentage of your listeners are interested in housewives. I am not and skip majority of the episode duration these days. I miss the regular pop culture funny discussions and the tv show discussions. This is a fun Thursday chilled out pod but I would really appreciate toning down the Housewives talk. Especially when there is a dedicated Bravo pod for the same. I understand the hard work that goes into each episode and I have loved most of the episodes but Housewives is not something everyone is into.
  • alexmarie2024
    Love!
    Love the dynamic between Aleen, Sami, and Jordana and look forward to this podcast every Thursday! What a dream it would be if they did multiple episodes a week! Such a fan of these amazing, impressive, and accomplished women!
  • Mar09c
    The podcast I look forward to
    It’s like listening to my friends at the brunch table. Easy listen to distance from the craziness happening everywhere. I love that they don’t always agree on everything (or maybe anything?) and they seem to keep each other in check. I get a lot of tv recs from this podcast and they do not disappoint. Thanks for keeping me updated on the latest news and gossip that I’m too lazy to follow up on. Hope they can continue with the 3 friends as hosts!
  • lauren037
    Bravo and Taylor Swift
    I’m not really interested in Bravo so I normally fast forward through those sections. Not sure why people who aren’t Taylor Swift fans can’t do the same? It makes sense to have separate episodes for longer discussions, but it seems like Aleen complains anytime Sami brings her up at all. I understand people being tired of hearing about Taylor but it’s hard to talk about pop culture like the Grammy’s without mentioning her. I wouldn’t complain if long Bravo conversations were separate episodes too 🤷🏻‍♀️ overall, I like listening to the podcast!
  • Kbj0209
    So negative
    Sami used to stick up for Taylor and now they are all anti-feminist anti-swift. So annoying.
  • SariFL88
    Great show!
    I’m too lazy // don’t have time to keep up with news and all things pop culture. Love how Sam Jordana and Aileen summarize recent stories. Feels like you’re chatting with your close friends. Highly recommend!
  • amcs2323
    Enough Taylor
    Just name this Taylor Swift Weekly and be honest about what we’re signing up for here. Or, maybe, skip her every now and then, bc this is exhausting and, to use Jordana’s only way of describing things: annoying.
  • AJlovesChocCupcakes
    Overall great
    I love this podcast but I wish they didn’t talk about bravo shows as much but I understand if they are targeting a specific demographic. I also wish Sami wasn’t so obsessed with Taylor Swift. Overall it’s great though. Jordana is my fave and I think she has a great sensibility to her.
  • Hilary_SJME
    Great Pod!
    Iconic pop culture moments that keep me up at night: America Ferrera rolling her eyes during a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants press tour because Blake Lively was only being asked about Gossip Girl AND an alleged event that occurred where Jenn and Angie booked the same tickets in first class to London, and a flight attendant got in touch with their people to warn them, and they both cancelled their flights! Ugh, what can I say, I’m stuck in gossip spirals from 20 years ago!
  • Lilacs & Contraband
    Please Stop
    Long time listener. I tried so hard to ride this out. I’m officially unsubscribing, these women simply don’t like one another. It’s such bad energy to put out into the world.
  • TABH23
    Five stars when Jordana is absent
    The show is so much better without Jordana!! I love Sami and Aleen’s positive vibe. Jordana brings such a negative energy. Please please have Jordana on less often 🙏🏻
  • poscasthungry
    Pls send Sami to the Caymans!
    I look forward to Thursdays each week to listen to this pod buy my gosh Sami makes it so hard to listen to. Her compulsive need to act as if she knows it all is quite insufferable. Now that she’s taking up acting, maybe try acting chill for once. Jordana didn’t pay me to say this. Neither did Aleen.
  • Katgeary
    Kills me
    These three are a bit like those out-of-touch bosses who have an opinion on everything, but haven't really experienced it. It's almost like a millennial version of an old man yelling at a cloud. So, I was thinking about what bugs me about these three awesome women hosting a culture show while running a media company without catching up on Golden Globes nominations or truly getting each movie. Then it hit me—they have employees sharing their thoughts under the company umbrella. It's a tad frustrating! Why not keep it more personal if you all want to chat about it every week?
  • gaj1990
    Too Contrary
    I can’t listen to Sami saying “Nooo…” any more. Even when Jordana is agreeing with her Sami has to be contrary. Maybe when Aleen returns I will be able to listen again but for now I’m taking break.
  • Marie Says!
    Sami needs to chill
    Love the pod but Sami is such a contrarian. She clearly hasn’t listened to Jared talk about “yes anding”. She legit crashes on every topic and kind of undermines Jordana.
  • whit_martin
    Sami is insufferable
    With each episode Sami is more and more annoying about having to be correct and arguing to prove her point. It’s especially annoying when no one is even disagreeing with her on a hot take and she still feels the need to force her opinion down peoples throats and be the one who knows everything. Love Jordana and Aileen so I still listen and am a huge betches fan overall, but Sami is ruining it .
  • __jfay
    We love to
    Hear about your personal lifes!
  • CRAZY 'BOUT MUSIC!
    Love the pod but Sami chill out
    Loyal listener to this podcast amongst other betches productions and enjoy most episodes. After the latest listen, Sami’s compulsion to disagree with any other opinions/having to always be right is off-putting. Jordana is so laid back (and I tend to agree with her opinions) you can tell when moments get weirdly tense and Jordana just takes the higher ground and drops it. Chill out Sami lol
  • Queen of the Nawth
    No actual content
    This has turned into a Taylor Swift update podcast and as a 30 something year old woman, there is only so much I can hear about another 30 something year old woman, from 3- 30 something year old women. Incredibly boring and lacks creativity overall.
  • pastabow
    Feels like I’m w friends
    Literally feels like my real friends (including being annoyed at them sometimes for not knowing obvious things or missing the point)… but overall happy to listen! I think more research and thought behind the eps would be better - I find it frustrating when Jordana doesn’t know something obvious and Sami has to explain which happens multiple times an episode.
  • ae758
    Bad-good! and Jordana would win timeshare sales
    At first, I thought Aleen would win timeshare sales - but then I realized, any money I’ve spent with Betches (merch, subscriptions, etc) is all a direct result of Jordana. She’s the undercover salesperson of the team!
  • itsfriendly!
    Hi Jordana👋
    I love y’all. The Betches story is an amazing one — you should be so proud of the business you built. And it’s so fun to hear how you all know and love each other. I’m not personally a Housewives/Bravo watcher, so I wouldn’t mind less of that (to the Caymans please), but I do like hearing what else y’all are watching for recommendations!
  • LocalTVStan
    A good bad podcast
    …or is it bad good?

    Britney Book Episode Disappointment
    I listen to the podcast every week and definitely enjoy it on my way home from work. I’m not swiftie but i respect her and I can understand the focus on her because she has been exploding this year. I held off on the Britney book episode because I wanted to finish the book myself first but then I listened to the podcast and was very disappointed. Neither of the hosts had even read the book (they admit) before posting a episode reviewing the book. They miss so many supporting details (probably because they didn’t read it) that I had to turn off the podcast. It seems so unprofessional to post an episode reviewing a book (a book that is really hot in pop culture rn) without even reading it first. We all could’ve waited a week to hear the episode if they needed time to read it. It just seems lazy. I’m all for hearing discussion on the book in either direction but at least try to educate yourself on a topic before broadcasting yourself as an expert on it.

    The 3 best friends that anyone did have
    I have always loved Betches and especially anything made by its creators. I’m the same age (34 club) so I always relate and I always laugh. Wanted to come on here to say that producer Holly and Dr. Naomi have such similar voices (sooo calming), so I need Holly to be on an episode of Oversharing so we can hear them together :-) and forgive me if this has been done already, I’m behind (was busy getting married, woot woot, lol) and gotta catch up on all my fave Betches pods!!
  • NourFarheen
    trash podcast
    waste of time. don’t listen. don’t support any of them.
  • RedHeadsMatches
    I love you all a lot but please do more research about bravo before you talk
    Heather comes from a wealthy family and gets a trust every year of at least a million. They have invested in other businesses not just his plastic surgery practice (which you are way low balling. Plastic surgeons can make 20+ million a year easy at his level) throughout the years as most people with high wealth do. They did not buy the house just to flip it. They bought land and built the house from the ground up. The house cost $21 million to build which is reasonable. They were offered a once in a lifetime offer they could not turn down because Heather made that house amazing. I am not even a huge Heather fan but please do your research. I get the questions and that’s totally fine but often I cringe as a huge bravo fan because you guys often get facts wrong and I finally have to say something. Please just when you talk about bravo do better research or get one of your bravo experts as a guest. Thank you. Sincerely the crazy bravo fandom. Haha P.S. do agree Kyle is on ozempic though because ozempic also makes people have no desire to drink and she completely stopped drinking
  • mfnope
    Thank you guys 💙🤍💙
    As much as I too come here for an escape, this week, I’m not near my family right now, so just wanted to hear from some fellow Jewish gals, voicing the things us Jews are thinking and feeling and, just, thank you. It resonated and was exactly what I’d needed. Sending love and peace to you & yours. 💙🤍💙
  • Christina! Marie
    But can we put all the Bravo content in a corner?
    I do not consume any of the Bravo shows so I skip through ALL of those conversations. For one recent episode, that meant skipping until the 30 minute mark or so. We need to either bring back time stamps or put Bravo content in a corner ala Speak Now (Betches Version).
  • P. Sasha
    Sami always has to be right
    Love this show and all the girls, but Sami always trying to convince her cohosts that are point is the most reasonable or viable is getting exhausting. When it comes to pop culture discussions, it’s ok for everyone to have their own take, and without being involved in these celebrities’ lives, no one’s opinion can ever truly be accurate. So for Sami time and time again to try to argue her point which she can’t factually say is right is just draining to listen to. Latest example- discussion about Ariana Grande with Jordana in the 10/5 ep. You could tell poor Jordana wanted to have a light fun discussion but Sami just had to dig and push back till Jordana gave into Sami’s side. Idk, it just takes away from the fun light hearted back and forth banter that a podcast like this should have. Just a lil constructive feedback xx
  • zhrbwkdofjrne
    Terry D
    Guys….come on. He could own a surgery center, all cash practice, etc. I work in medicine and there are surgeons making 20 million a year that aren’t in plastics. I’m sure he gets paid by medical device companies to use their products, contributes to product design and again like you said is the third highest paid plastic surgeon in the country. He is sought after and people pay the price. You’re low balling this guy by millions and how much he could make in a week. Think about Lenny Hochstein as well and his wealth.
  • LA01222
    Please do some prep before the pod
    The facts regulating football and Kelce brothers’ thirst is unfortunately pretty sloppy. Sami says they need fame because football careers are short, a simple google search would show you that Travis and Jason have both been playing for over 10 years. They are extremely well known and liked by NFL fans and with both likely get huge broadcasting contracts upon retirement á la the Manning brothers and Sami’s precious Tom Brady. Jason has made $87 million and Travis has made $77 million in his NFL careers so far. Again, a simple google search would do the pod well.
  • BL_Christina
    NO MORE TAYLOR
    Ladies I love you all so much but please can we cool it with the Taylor news. It seems like all Sami wants to talk about, just waiting for it to come up on morning news and then I may have to unsubscribe
  • hi_mav
    Taylor’s version
    Low key into the swiftie ep you did! I’m a big swiftie but i love the betches perspective bc it’s straight up vs being too into conspiracies and easter eggs haha
  • LizLunaB
    Thanks, but…
    Loved Danny with Sami this week. I would like to put in a strong request to replace the Cayman Islands bit for something new and fresh, please. It feels outdated and just boring at this point (sorry!). Great opportunity to add something funnier or a more interesting signature at the end each week. Thank you!! 🫶

    Fact Checking Needed
    I’m a fan of Betches and really like SUP, Brides, Morning Announcements, and Soft Black Woman, and like the hosts of this pod, so I came over here for something light to listen to during the day. The vibe is definitely fun, but starting with the 9/21 episode wasn’t great, though, despite enjoying the banter and light tone. The fact checking was not there, which was a surprise for me given how good Sami is on the Morning Announcements. Travis and Jason Kelce are objectively some of the best football players in the NFL right now, both Super Bowl champions, likely Hall of Fame players when their careers are done, and 100% do not need to ride anyone’s coattails for clout. It was a very weird, out of touch take, since a quick google will tell you they’re both big deals. It’s strange to not research who they were at all before talking about them. I’ll stick to my other Betches podcasts instead.
  • ErikaT
    Love you ladies
    I love that I get a recap every week of pop culture news! Also, there’s talk of Drake being weird into younger women too. Videos of him being weird with younger fans. I’m hoping it’s not that deep because I love his music
  • windycity94
    Love but noticing errors in pop news lately!
    Love this podcast but some of the pop news lately hasn’t been reported correctly. For example, in the latest episode when they talk about what Jason Kelce said about his brother dating Taylor Swift (if you listen to the full clip of his interview he said he is joking) but the media didn’t play his full debrief and ran with the 100% true line and so did the pod. Anyways, Taylor Swift was recently at Travis Kelce’s Chiefs game so bashing the brothers as thirsty was not the move. Also, they talk about Travis Kelce like he is a random football player seeking fame; he doesn’t need it. He is one of the best and most popular football players right now and will probably be in the NFL Hall of Fame. He has two SuperBowl rings with the Chiefs. Regarding Halle Berry, Drake didn’t just use her photo without asking as was said in the episode; he did ask and she said no, hence, her taking it as an F U.
  • Allison0916
    Love it but let’s do more
    I love Betches and listen to almost every pod in the universe, but for this one specifically can we PLEASE stop bringing up Taylor Swift in every single episode!? I’m so sick of talking about her everywhere, she’s not that important in most adult lives. Also Travis Kelce, a Super Bowl champion, does not need to ride the coattails of Taylor Swift. That’s just absurd and sounded ignorant. You must not even know who he is. If you want to talk pop culture, fine, but don’t knock people in other bubbles that you know nothing about.
