    Love!
    I’ve been a listener for a while and basically love all things Princess. But this week listening to her talk about not wanting to share, I was literally laughing out loud and felt so seen! All her content is great, always love her perspectives and guests. My favorite Sunday errand podcast!

    Obsessed!
    I found Princess through Kara’s podcast and I’m hooked. She’s beyond relatable and real. Her takes are so accurate. Her episodes are hours long and go off on tangents… which I love and I can’t get enough of.
  • Lauren Eaker
    Fantastic!
    Princess is real, relatable and unapologetic. She really is a delight to listen to and can’t get enough.
  • Johnny Anne
    Everything I wanted and more
    Princess is relatable and so fun to listen to! I love that she shares a lot of her personal life mixed in with commentary about what some very obscure and vintage reality TV. She makes me laugh out loud. Additionally, her perspective on these shows and the world always gives me something to think about!
  • WhateverGirl440
    Love the show!!!!!
    Such a fun show! Princess really breaks everything down and makes you think about the shows you used to watch as a teen in a different way.

    Obsessed!
    Found you 2 days ago on Kara’s podcast and immediately subscribed. You are funny, quick, kind of crazy and I love it!

    My Favorite
    I don’t have much in common with Princess nor do I watch all of the same shows but she’s my favorite to listen to. She brings me so much comfort and belly laughs. There are days when I feel so upset and depressed and I turn on this podcast to feel better.
  • nmrb

    Healing
    I am listening to your “Kidnapped at Birth” episode on a different podcast app but I re-downloaded the Apple one so I can give you this review. Your conversation about mothering touched a part of me that needed some healing. Thank you for talking about the work that you have to do every day to make sure that your trauma doesn’t negatively impact your parenting, it’s a good reminder to us, the current generation of mothers who refuse to continue the cycle. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with your audience. I don’t watch most of the shows you review but I still listen just to hear these nuggets of wisdom that you share.

    I’m obsessed
    Not only is Princess hilarious, but she’s never had a wrong take in her life.
  • EmilyTrivette1
    This is my type of podcast!
    I cannot stress enough that I LOVE Princess’ takes on all things Reality. I am so glad I found you! Not only does she offer excellent insight on these trash can shows, but her life advice is on point as well. We need more Princess’ in the world ❤️
  • Kirsren Kiki
    I ❤️ Princess
    Thank you for making me laugh (so I dont cry) and breaking up the monotonity of daily life. So relatable, honest, and genuine. As millennial trash, the topics feed me, but when she talks about her life/ family, I’ve never felt more seen lol.
  • Hoostina
    Punkin happy birthday!!!
    Thanks for being real and authentic on your pod! You are hysterical! Thank you
  • Faldingud
    Love the retro recaps
    I started VPR at s3 and these podcasts of s2 made me realize how much I’ve missed and it’s been so fun to go back to the beginning and rewatch and listen along. I’ll listen to Princess talk about anything even if i haven’t seen the shows. It’s like a tv time capsule <3
  • jessicag511
    Princess is a queen
    Wow, what a great time. I love listening to Princess’s takes on life, pop culture, and interpersonal relationships. She’s insightful, hilarious, entertaining, and heartfelt. I love a nostalgic trip down memory lane, and if you do too, this is a must listen!
  • pdx stacy
    So so good
    Princess is not only hilarious but also so relatable! Her stories about being a mother and her honesty about just basic difficulties in life are so refreshing. The Rock of Love recaps are friggin amazing. Kara Berry brought me here, thank you Kara!!!
  • Sears shopper
    Glad I found this gem
    I’ve heard of you on EBBM but must have missed that you had your own podcast. Found this in recommended podcasts can read the description and loved it. I love your recap, right now I’m on flavor of love season 1 recap but really enjoy it. So nostalgic.
  • Alyseora
    Love you Princess!
    I discovered Princess and Bye Pumkin through Liz Bentley’s Feathers in my Hair. I loved her as a reoccurring guest and so I hoped over to Bye Pumkin and wasn’t disappointed. I love hearing her recap old reality shows as well as her bonus episodes. Princess makes me laugh and shares about her personal life which I appreciate as it helps to get to know her over time. If you are a reality tv head, give Princess a listen.

    VB native ❤️❤️
    I loved hearing all the places in the podcast I just listened to, next time you have to go to Wickers near the VB/Chesapeake/Norfolk line. Amazing food and best hush puppies. See you in the 757!
  • heynowlu
    Thank you so much Princess
    This podcast has got me through these last two years. The Patreon is so worth it. Such great content and the guest episodes are amazing as well. Thank you Princess for all that you do!
  • Kjchurch
    Princess is great
    Princess is great. I love her perspective whether it be on kourtney kardashian’s bratty children or the morals of my 600 pound life. I find the weekly antidotes on her favorite tv shows and whatever Cheeks has been getting into to be fun and make it feel like I’m getting coffee with a friend. Honestly this podcast is very soothing and something about Princess’s straightforwardness is comforting to me.
  • Wandaful825
    Would love to hear your recap of Ready To Love on OWN!
    The new season just started on January 28th, so it’s only one episode in, you can catch up quickly. 🙏🏾 Pretty Please?!
  • brittarader
    Love it
    Princess never fails to speak her truth with wisdom and charm about my favorite niche reality tv
  • catheliz
    Princess can talk about anything (and I mean anything)
    The best way to describe this podcast is that I could talk to Princess talk about anything for any amount of time—the longer the better. It doesn’t matter if she’s talking about Little Women ATL, Ghostbusters, or parenting five adopted kids—if Princess is talking about it, I want to listen. Princess “hates guests,” as she says, and has exceptional chemistry with the ones she has. But the best Princess is pure Princess going on a 45 minute rant about why she’s so scared of 50 Cent she won’t say his name on the podcast before spending another 2 hours on an episode of Intervention from 2011 and how it relates to her experience fostering. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and this one is pretty special.
  • hagnewsv
    Like talking to your favorite cousin
    Always my fave guest on other podcasts, so I had to subscribe. Princess is fantastic.
  • kkane77
    The best
    I don’t know why but I could listen to princess talk for hours - and with this podcast I literally do. I find myself constantly laughing out loud , nodding my head in agreement, making shocked faces.
  • liciamurphy
    I would listen to Princess talk about anything…

  • KYmaletherapist
    Princess never misses
    I love the podcasters sense of humor and her take on life and reality TV. Feels that like talking with your funny friend!
  • Marylu16
    Perfect Pod for Early Reality TV Fanatics
    I’ve been a listener to Princess’s pod since she began her podcast. I love her candor, discussions about social services and her ability to connect social justice issues to early reality tv. If you’re down with honest conversations about mental health and the ridiculous-ness of reality tv this is the pod for you. Bye, Pumpkin is perfect to listen to while doing house chores, makes it go by like nothing!!!
  • willykris5747
    Love Princess
    She’s like a friend you love talking about reality tv shows with. A great listen.
  • SaucieCJ
    Funnier than most professional comedians
    I could listen forever to Princess expound and confess and opine and just make me laugh! This wonderfully unique podcast is one I wait all week for. I can so relate to her hands off upbringing and just love hearing the hilarious stories about her kids and husband. PS – – you don’t know how cool it is to find someone who knows what Breaking Bonaduce is! Never stop being you, Pumpkin!
  • Jame_976
    Thank you Princess Jones Curtis
    I know you don’t read these reviews but anyway I would like to express how grateful I am for your podcasts every Sunday. I don’t always have an interest in the TV show you are recapping however I would never miss an episode due to your insightful commentary and often hilarious digressions. Keep doing the Lord’s work!
  • wildcatswan
    Love this!
    Listening to Princess is like catching up with a friend.
  • Red Bull and Coke
    New favorite. Hands down.
    Proud otaku, minister, raconteur— Princess is many things, and these identities shine through in this gem of a podcast. Each episode is a journey into somewhere you’ve never been, or have been many times, but never really SEEN before... And as you listen (and LOL) to staggeringly funny recaps of the early-mid aughts reality travesties, you might notice your own powers of observation sharpened, your own subconscious processes unearthed, your own relationships examined. And the fact that you’re better for it. Highly recommend. 👍

    Bye, Pumkin! 😍
    This is one of the podcasts I look forward to every week! Princess tells it like it is and keeps it real. She is funny and relatable to the point where even if I’m not interested in what she is recapping I will still listen to her talk about her life for the first 20-30 minutes of each episode. She also gives out great advice whether she knows it or not, and I just sit there realizing things about myself like I’m Kylie Jenners New Years resolution for 2016. Give it a listen, you will not regret it. Love you Princess!
  • katidianee
    The best! Must listen
    Princess is open and honest. She has a hilarious take on life. A must have in your podcast feed.
  • Maebyemby
    I’ll listen to whatever princess wants to talk about
    I got into bye pumkin during the Jon and Kate season but I stayed for Princess’ opening monologues and princess diaries. She’s endlessly funny and insightful and so often the episodes leave me thinking deeper about big societal issues and stupid mundane issues alike. If you have young kids, this podcast is also an unexpected source of good advice and perspective. I never leave podcast reviews because I am constitutionally repelled by the idea of seeming like a fan girl but really: one million stars.
  • Ebbiethegreat
    Princess is a true queen
    Princess is the best! Bye Pumpkin is one of my absolute favorite podcasts and I listen to a ton. She has so much insight to offer while discussing true trash tv. Love her!
  • KelseyCakes8
    Hilarious!
    Love Princess and love the pod! 😊😊❤️
  • KatieJay1610
    Just discovered!
    Just found Princess via the feathers in hair pod, she was so funny as a guest on there that I started listening to her main pod, and this chick gets me through my workday! So funny! I wish we were friends in real life!
  • GooseandJudz
    Amazing, amazing
    Hilarious and insightful. You’ll look forward to it above all other podcasts.
  • A Cupful of Sprinkles
    Knowledgeable and interesting!
    Princess has a very interesting life and an interesting viewpoint. We need more podcasters as her and I love that I have actually learned about foster care, racism, and just general life info from a podcast about old reality shows!
  • julesdell
    Breath of fresh air
    In a world full of influencers and podcasters trying to either be perfect, or a “hot mess, relatable mom”, Princess is neither. She just IS a good mom, a good source of advice, and most importantly an incredible source of entertainment.
  • Njnotnewjersey
    Here For Princess!
    Bye Pumkin is one of my favorite podcasts and the host Princess is the best! She does the lords work with deep, intellectual and insightful dives into the long-forgotten early 2000s reality TV shows. Princess is a natural storyteller and has a soothing voice with a direct tone that makes me want to listen. check out Bye Pumkin for sure!!
  • Diamondblazin
    Love her!
    She sounds like an amazing woman. I love to hear a real life mom perspective on the reality tv circuit while I do my chores and run errands. My escape from real life motherhood 🎃
  • TheDerricks
    I love Princess!
    Princess is hilarious while also dropping truth bombs that make me think and reflect on myself. And her recaps are awesome! Great content.
