    Love it !💕
    I saw dance moms growing up, I’m a millennial. These women are so inspiring, and caring, and thoughtful. So sad it’s coming to an end. These women need their own talk show love, love ,love them !

    Love to listen
    After sooo many years of dance moms I love just to hear y’all talk about literally nonsense 😂it’s entertaining to me perfect for a podcast just to drive doing my deliveries… anyone who wants to talk about drama need to get over what happen 10 years ago on these reviews because it’s silly y’all think they shouldn’t be friends or whatever.

    Trader Joe’s
    This episode was so pointless. How can you do a review of Trader Joe’s products when Jill and Kelly have never been? Come on ladies, you only podcast every other week. Y’all need to plan ahead and be more prepared. Your all over the place and your conversations are usually dominated by Holly and Melissa. Unfortunately, I find myself not tuning in as much anymore.
  • Love it! really works!
    LOVE 🩷
    I love listening to you all! The chit-chat, stories, suggestions, all your favorites, and hearing how all your daughters are doing and what they’re up to! It’s great that the podcast is not categorized to just one topic you can talk about anything and we can ask all types of questions! I live in the Pittsburgh area, so it’s always so cool to listen to you talk about local businesses, sports teams, and other things I can relate to! I usually tune in on my drive to work in the mornings so it’s nice to have upbeat and positive talk before I start my day 🥰 I know all the moms live in different states and it may not be ideal, but would love if there could be a type of sweepstakes that we could enter (even if it costs) where someone wins to meet or get to have dinner with the Moms?? 😊 From Candace M.

    Melissa is a liar
    This podcast is awful. How do you three women just sit there in Melissa’s delusional world? Her and Abby were best friends. She is complicit in your daughters’ trauma. Is it because Maddie is so famous, you all have to cling to fame? Has Melissa EVER apologized to you and your kids? The fakeness is insane. Also, Holly - stop saying you’re an activist lol you’re an influence who does not care about the suffering of others. Your bestie is a trump supporter, and you’re actively ignoring a genocide happening. Fake fake people.

    Entitled much?
    Thought this might be a fun listen since I like back to the barre… and it was, until Jill told a “funny” story about her husband refusing to give a homeless man a DOLLAR 20 plus years ago and calling the homeless man entitled for asking! Jesus, get a clue and read the room rich lady. It’s not funny or cute or charming that your hubs offered him a quarter instead. Gross that you married him after that, you should be embarrassed to tell that story.
  • P0pc0rn l0ver!!!
    Seriously!!🤪
    Old ones are way better!!! Also, why is Christi not in it?
  • Mare1040
    Go back
    Please go back and frame the podcast more like the earlier episodes. You all talk about people we have NO idea who they are, nor do I care. Go back to basics, stop bragging and think of who your audience is, you must have statistics on that information. We want to hear from Pittsburg moms, not Hollywood moms. I can’t listen anymore, Abby’s podcast is more appealing at this point. Maybe take some broadcasting lessons or listen to other seasoned podcast hosts.

    Question for Melissa!
    I know this is like super random and not very important but just wondering why do you post for all the OG girls birthdays except for Chloe?
  • caroline.marais
    Listener Requests
    You guys should do an episode about your skincare or makeup routines! Or just what you do to get ready for the day!
  • LoriDuncan
    My favorite podcast!
    I always get excited to listen to a new episode! No need for guests in my opinion, just love hearing them catch up!
  • whdkvnsvifkfbndbck
    Include Christi
    Like the podcast but I wish Christi was included in this. I feel like it would be better with all of the OGs back together and that the podcast would be changed for the better with her. I can tell that Kelly isn’t as vocal here as she is with her Back to the Barre podcast with Christi. I think everyone would like to see the whole gang and get to experience the chemistry and sister ship again.

    So good 🤩👌
    I love this podcast it makes me happy.
  • Just JJ 20
    love it
    i love this podcast because the conversations just draw me in, grown mature adults talking about relatable and interesting topics!! as a fan of dance moms, i also love those parts of the podcast! would recommend for dance moms fans and just anyone!!!
  • kiai808
    VERY GOOD
    This is my favorite comfort podcast throughout the day, especially before sleeping. Idk about this mini fuss about mellisa 😂 its all a lie. It would also be beyond perfect if y’all had some guests from the dance moms cast, maybe abby, christi, or ashley idk. good job.
  • Maddy Canton
    Fun
    Funny good for moms some episodes aren’t as good as others. But over all a good podcast!!!!
  • Sarah Signorelli
    I really wanted to like this podcast
    I have tried several times to listen, but it’s too much Melissa. She comes off as very self absorbed, obnoxious , and insincere. Holly, Jill, Kelly, you are awesome!
  • prettymelissa
    Love the moms
    I really enjoy the podcast it’s so great to listen to
  • roobanna
    SUPER GOOD, but could add a few things
    I think that this podcast is VERY good considering the fact that Dance Moms is my favorite show. I just wish that you guys had Christi in the podcast too. Also, talk about YOUR guys’ life. I really would want to hear what’s going on, yk? To add on, I really would like to hear about more stuff on Dance Moms that you guys experienced. Like the competitions and gossip about Abby. Not telling you how to make YOUR Podcast better, just some things to make it more interesting. Hope these ideas help!😊❤️ Also, this is not me hating to verify for anyone who feels that way.

    Love these moms
    Love this podcast, and I wish I could meet u guys
  • MamaRach82
    Surprised by how much I am enjoying this!
    First, I just have to say comment on how much I LOVE Jill’s voice. Of course, I’m assuming she heard that a lot. It is so soothing and comforting. I find Jill and Kelly to be the most relatable to us normal folks, but each woman brings something to the table. Holly has such a gift with words and Melissa seems like such a nurturer. You all have so much chemistry and I love hearing about your stories and everyday life. It’s so fun to hear Melissa reminisce about sweet times from her friendship with Kelly back when their kids were little. These conversations have been providing company to this lonely single mom! My tween and teen kids recently got me started watching Dance Moms with them. I watched it when it aired and it’s so fun to go back all these years later and enjoy it with my kids. Thank you for opening up your lives to us and providing real, honest, and relatable conversation!

    Love this podcast
    Love the pod! But why’d you stop posting weekly and go to biweekly?

    Kind of boring
    Wanted to like it, but it is pretty boring :(
  • tinasap
    Why is Jill so snooty? Too much time on her hands
    Manis and pedis are an indicator of hygiene? Really Jill? 🙄 stuck up much?

    Dance mom
    Love it
  • I love DINOSAS
    Love it
    Amazing to know the bts of the show, however I do wish Christi Lukasiak was also apart of this, considering she was there from the beginning. Not only her but also Cathy because she was an OG. I would love to have seen her because I’m sure she had some amazing stories of what the producers did to her.
  • Courtney💖
    I love this
    This is the best thing I’ve ever listen to I love the podcast and I love dance moms. The months are my favorite in the show that’s why I love this and you get so sucked into it it’s so good.
  • Keyhoho
    I love this podcast
    I am 21 and grew up watching you all on dance moms. I absolutely love you all and your podcast. Whenever I am feeling overwhelmed or down I will listen to this podcast and you guys give me a little piece of comfort. You never fail to make me smile and giggle. I love that the topics aren’t too deep and you always keep it lighthearted! Maybe one episode you guys could have your girls join and be guests! That would be such a fun episode! Love you guys!
  • Elyse the egirl
    I love these moms sm

  • juniperisaqt
    Overall!
    I really think this podcast is very fun to listen to besides the topics being chosen, it’s very funny and enjoyable to listen to when i’m on the subway or just going out for a walk! I really love this, keep up the great work. ❤️
  • TheSleepy_Bunny
    ✨ QUESTION + Love the Pod! ✨
    Hey moms & readers! Even as a tween, I love this podcast. I started off watching the show when I came across this fantastic conversation style pod! You touched on your kids experience in the public eye a little in your “Adolescent” episode, but I was wondering if maybe you could talk a little more about their childhood and mental health on the show? How do you think that effected you as a mom? Thanks for reading! - Ava ❤️

    The Moms Are Amazing
    The moms provide a great podcast. I love listening to this.
  • sophierocksthehouse
    Boring topics
    At first you guys were doing really well with topic choices. Recently in the past few months the topic choices have gotten worse and worse. Cmon give us a something a little more interesting and juicy. Love y’all <3
  • jmemaybe
    Like hanging out with friends
    I love Dance Moms, and this podcast is just like having lunch and hanging out with some friends and chatting. They don’t try to talk about a bunch of serious stuff; it’s just *them,* which is comfortable and easy to listen to.
  • palmtrees24
    Love y’all
    Melissa is just as annoying as she was on dance moms. Talks too much and it’s all about her. Love the rest of you though. Shout out to Jill….I met you and took a picture with you a few years back at competition in Woodbridge Va.
  • hebbeler5
    Be more correct
    I enjoy the podcast. However, oftentimes mom aren’t correct with their opinions. Today when they were speaking of sharks all they spoke of was sharks attacking people. They should learn the real facts about sharks being threatened, sharks indicate healthy ocean systems, no sharks mean water bodies are not balanced. Sharks don’t want to bite people. National Geographic has many educational shows highlighting the truth of sharks. Please get educated about this topic!
  • miss waitman
    Love y’all
    I love dance moms it is my favorite show I’ve shared the show with all my friends and I have watched each episode at least 15 times please give a shout-out to Camryn from Amarillo Texas!!!!!!!!!!

    Crack ups
    Jill and Kelley crack me up! Love listening to all y’all! And I’m more than happy to be a quest. I’m nobody fyi,but I’m offering my services for free! 😄jk of course. Keep it up💛
  • iPppy
    LOLL
    Melissa said that she can finally get a word in now that Jill is gone. What’s funny to me is Melissa talks the most out of anyone and it’s never relevant to the conversation😂 Talking about milk? “Guys maddie loves tacos, she made me one 2 years ago”.
