    Apologizing for our gender but...
    Love y'all and the diverse topics. But in your last episode you said that you loved women's basketball but if you watched one, ONE!! UConn game, you'd know how to pronounce Paige Bueckers' name correctly

    Did we just become best friends?
    Started listening during Scandoval - as i did with a handful of other podcasts - and this is the only one I continue to listen long afterwards because they're the only hosts who I'd want to hang with, chatting about nonsense regardless of the subject. Though I'm happy this nonsense is about bravo. Also my kids can't tell any of these bravo people apart so they're useless. Great listen if you want to hear an educated, honest, and entertaining take. Also a great listen when you need a break from murder podcasts while still wanting helpful tips on avoiding toxic men. Thanks ladies. Keep up the great work.

    Still Love Them!!!
    I had to update my review because I am loving the new pod Also. I have been a Patreon subscriber for years and the pre-shows were some of my favorite episodes. Well now the pre-show is its own show! The format of smol celebrations, pop culture, reading/watching/listening is just what I want in a podcast. It’s like catching up with my friends. And now, thanks to Alicia, I’m going to have to binge 6.2 seasons of Cobra Kai. Please keep the episodes coming!!! Original Review: Alicia acting out the Tom/Jax fight In Season 2 ep 12 was HYSTERICAL!! Hands down 5 star acting.

    My podcast besties
    I absolutely adore these ladies! I’ve listened the past few months while I’m at work (I work third shift.) and these ladies make me feel like I’m listening to my best friends lol even when our opinions may differ, they offer a new perspective that I never thought of before. Soooooo glad I stumbled upon this podcast and I’ll be binging all their shows (currently finishing up the vanderpump series) I cannot wait to go to their other shows! Never want the podcast to end, I’m obsessed! If I could give a million stars I would, but for now 5 stars will have to do lol

    Thank you!
    Thank you for merging all of your shows into one podcast! Now I know what you ladies are recording once the season I am listening to is over! I subscribed to you originally for the Summer House content several seasons ago but now I am enjoying your VPR content becuase it is automatically popping up on my feed and I LOVE IT!!! Season 5 VPR was soooo good, I am actually rewatching and reliving memories. Ladies you are hilarious and so entertaining, I can’t wait for you to cover this last season of Martha’s Vineyard!!

    Phenomenal
    The best VPR recap podcast made better by the banter, humor, and wit of the hosts. I’m going back and listening to older eps as I do my VPR rewatch. I’m also marathon training and this is literally all I listen to while I run. Y’all rock. When I reflect on the Chicago Marathon in the years to come, I already know I’m going to think of all the hours and miles spent with these two funny ladies in my ears lolololol

    Nearly Perfect Light Listening
    I really enjoy this pod. The hosts are entertaining. I especially appreciate Meredith’s occasional insights into the behind the scenes of the reality TV production world. I love the particular way they throw shade at Lauren from Utah by using that nomenclature when she’s done something that’s whack. Where I think Alicia and Meredith go slightly off-track has to do with their praise for James (he’s the same immature snot he’s always been, he’s just not loaded all the time so we don’t see it except when he’s arguing with Sandoval), and their criticism of Schwartz. I tend to agree with a lot of what they say about him, but some of it comes off as simple misandry. They attribute far too much of his conduct to misogyny, when I think some of it simply has to do with men and women reading conduct in different ways. That being said, this man looks forward to hearing these two women dish each week.

    Want to love
    It just feels like these folks aren’t aware or don’t want to engage with the fact that this is a television show and all of these people are fighting for paychecks, careers, and lifestyles. I wish they want a layer deeper and actually discussed the show as it exists in the real world and not take everything they see at face value. Doesn’t make it a bad show at all im just more interested in the actual machinations and not just the edits/narrative/angles that the show feeds us.

    BEST VPR podcast
    Five stars. I am a day one-er fan of Vanderpump Rules, the real deal. AND This is the only VPR podcast I have a subscription to and I listen to a lot of them. Reasons being- these b’s are down to earth, tell it like it is, and don’t give a f✨✨✨ ”I can’t cry because these eyeglasses are mink” -Scheana shay
  • podcastnerd22
    My new fave VPR podcast.
    Started searching for VPR pods, and they were fine. Found this one and haven’t stopped listening. Love the hosts and excited to be a part of the community now! Ally
  • KLKellett
    The podcast for me!
    After listening to Norristhekat review on the recent pod.. I had to write a review!! And this is the podcast for me for all the reasons Norris gave!! The toms are awful and Katie can do no wrong! Plus I love all the laughs I get from listening! Love you ladies!!!
  • Ginger666
    BORING
    They love Dana; the most unfunny, boring, stiff character. They have no insights about the show. One of them doesn’t believe you should have animals 🐕in your home. You’re so weird.
  • Jsophias
    Shocked
    I’m honestly shocked there aren’t more reviews for this podcast. This is by far my favorite reality TV podcast. I could listen to you guys talk about anything.
  • Norristhekat
    The Podcast for you IF…
    I’ve tried and tried with this podcast and I just don’t know how much longer I can take it. This is podcast is for you if… 1. You like to hear the two Toms constantly ridiculed. 2. Worship the ground Katie walks on. 3. You think men are the root of all evil and women are virtuous beings beyond reproach. There is no objectivity at all. Everything the Toms do is wrong. How they put on their socks? Wrong! How they brush their teeth? Wrong! The schtick is old. The only reason I still listen is to hear the latest news on the cast members.
  • michellegjo
    For the girls
    I prefer a female perspective for my guilty pleasure bravo shows and these girls hit the spot. I’m constantly saying “Exactly” and thanking them for saying what I was thinking haha. You won’t regret adding them to your podcast list!
  • bellabee311
    Fantastic
    I love these 2!! They have quickly become my fav VPR podcast! They don’t hold back on their opinions, which are always right on (cuz they’re usually the same as mine 😉) and they add some comedy in w their commentary! It’s like hanging out w old friends!
  • Amber Cannon
    Love you guys ❤️
    Love this podcast! I may not always agree with every opinion, but I’m also not delusional enough to think everyone should agree with me all the time. The recaps are in depth and funny! It’s so nice to have an outlet because my husband can only handle so much of my VPR talk. Keep it up, ladies!
  • ladyswampwitchgivsneaufux
    Love this podcast
    I love the vanderpump content and these women are so funny.
  • Lovethosehalos
    Good as Gold!
    Love this podcast!! It’s like getting together with my besties to dish all the VPR gossip after every episode. I couldn’t possibly miss Alicia and Merideth’s thoughts after every ep of VPR (and Summer House 😜). Thanks for keeping it real and reminding me of all the craziness from past seasons that I have erased from my memory.
  • eejjeosmx
    Listen right now
    I listened to all of the Vanderpump recap podcasts during peak Scandoval and this is one of the only ones I stuck with! These girls are well informed, have great takes, and are super funny to top it off. I’m from Chicago and I totally feel like I'm having a conversation with my old friends. Keep it up girlies ;)
  • Tkittyh
    Oh my gosh fix your audio
    Literally one of you sounds like you’re talking through a fan it’s awful
  • JoschmoeJolene
    Love these girls !!
    I love these girls. I found them when I couldn’t get enough of Scandoval and they are one of the few that stuck after that. I am doing a full series rewatch just to follow along with their commentary.
  • KB33$
    I’ll Take a Pinot Grigio…
    Ladies, y’all are my feel-good, go-to pod! So glad I found this pod after binging all 10 seasons of VPR! I have a suggestion to add to your drinking games… drink every time Schwartz puts his fingers at his mouth 😂
  • puppiespastrypolitics
    Go go go go!
    I have been listening to this podcast to get me through doing DIY projects in my newly purchased century house and it’s been a delight and helps make painting less boring! I don’t have many IRL bravo fans but the hosts and the regular commenters feel like friends after a few episodes. 5 stars all the way! I know it’s strange to find so much comfort and relaxation in a show that’s often drunk people screaming at each other but I do and these recaps really capture the viewer experience 🖤!
  • guamissy
    Stop talking over each other!!
    Hard to listen to. Respect each others voice and time
  • jessharf
    Poo poo head
    Let’s go!! I’m a James stan, I’m thrilled you all are too! What a freaking season and I’ve enjoyed laughing with you girls through this and the dumpster fire that summer house is rn.
  • Violettaypoo
    If you guys have one fan it’s me!
    I (like most) followed and downloaded every podcast that would talk about Pump rules after scandoval broke. Not all of them I’ll continue to follow, BUT THIS ONE I WILL. It feels like I’m hanging out with my best friends talking about our favorite show! Forever a listener! 💗 P.S. saying “dude” is a tell when Tom Scumdervol lies.
  • Pit Hole
    Best PUMP podcast Ever!!
    It's totally about the pasta with these two! This show is a MUST listen after each VPR. If they could do anything better I couldn't tell you what it is. I wish I could give more stars.
  • davidochoseis
    Titular line
    I just got to the part where where James screams it’s not about the pasta! I couldn’t stop laughing. Love the show still excited for more season 6 content.
  • flipadip68
    Best vpr podcast!!
    Ooooh boy the amount of time I’ve spent listening to this pod is unhinged! I save their new episodes for long runs and always have their older season episodes on when I’m working. Love Alicia and Meredith!
  • Cindy l. Word crazy
    Hooray
    Can’t get enough Vanderpump!! I’m starting from your first episode of the season. It’s fun to be in the future and hear what we were all thinking back then about how we know what is going to happen with Schwartz and Raquel….and how great Sandoval and Ariana are together…
  • Tierney10
    My girls!
    I started listening to both this one and the Summer House one about 6 months ago! I had only one friend who I can discuss all things Bravo until I found my people in this podcast! Love talking to Alicia and Meredith plus the whole “Podcast by the People” community! Thank you ladies!
  • $Britt1208
    Love the pod
    New listener. Just started binge watching VPR due to Scandoval and now I’m hooked. After binge watching 9 and 1/2 season, you guys are the first podcast I checked out. Really enjoy your content. Can’t wait to hear the next episode.
  • whocareswhatever69
    What
    Why
  • Whatevs4300
    Okay
    There’s a lot of talking about random stuff unrelated to the show, including long rants about their reviews on here. Probably why the one called them immature because that was cringe. There’s no inside info or much insight on this podcast so it’s not really for me but it’s not bad or anything so, give it a try if you like the show.
  • Gliiiiiitttttt
    Eh
    They seem very immature with their opinions.
  • BostonIrishRules
    Treasure trove!
    So glad to find this pod! Plus, Everyone wanting to catch up on Vanderpump can listen to these great episode recaps of past seasons! These are real historians of the series. Hilarious too. Best pod name also. Thank you! Bonus vibe -one of the host’s voice sounds just like Scheana, without the hilarious over the top vanity. 🤣
  • Pischina
    This pasta is delicious
    I’m surprised I don’t hear more about this podcast, because it’s really good. Very funny, as well as interesting, and they have nice voices. Definitely recommend as a high-quality Vanderpump podcast.
  • inla123
    Girls missing the point
    You need to catch up on all other podcasts.
  • BarelyMental
    😃
    Came to hear about Scandavol & enjoyed the show. Good flow & opinions. I dislike James & Lala a lot so differ some on that, 🙃but will be back to hear other shows.
  • Yeaaaaaaaa.
    In these unprecedented times….
    Love this podcast. Wish I could take a pill and wake up on reunion day, but since science hasn’t yet gotten there I’ll enjoy this podcast until then.
  • katedoner091488
    Yes!!!!
    I’ve watched Vanderpump since the beginning. When it premiered with RHOBH. I listen to multiple podcasts, but never listen to any pump rules cast until this scandal. I’ve listened to quite a few since this all happened and came across you guys and you by far are my favorite. I can’t wait to watch this season and follow up with the podcast weekly. Love you guys!
  • Ynkefn1
    Love!!
    Oh my gosh, I love you two so much. I’ve listened to a couple of other VPR podcasts. Keep coming back to you guys. I have actually deleted the others. I’ve been listening for a while now. You always make me laugh! So I thought I would finally let you know that I think this podcast is awesome! Keep up the great work ladies.
  • GirlmomEvans
    Love this!
    Love these girls! I love that they cover 2 of my favorite shows! They say what we are thinking! Keep us entertained!
  • Sarahhh M
    #1 VPR podcast
    Love this podcast! As a VPR & Summer House obsessed freak this podcast gives me life. Thanks ladies!!!
  • Lianne V.
    Came for Summer House and stayed for Vanderpasta!
    I was looking for a podcast devoted to Summer House, and enjoyed the ladies so much that I started listening to this podcast as well. I appreciate how detailed the recap is because I have a tendency to multi-task while I watch Vanderpump and end up missing content (oops). So! Thank you ladies for filling in the gaps for me. I love getting their perspectives on the drama, and they often have input or opinions that I hadn’t considered. I recommend joining the patreon. For one dollar, you just can’t beat it. Their before show check-ins make for good bonus content—and I enjoy hearing their stories from when they used to work together, and their current travels. Keep on keepin’ on ladies!
  • rholpo
    Love this show
    Enjoyable!
  • AllMercNoPlay
    I listened
    So I have been a huge fan of this podcast and over the last few weeks I have been completely turned off by Alicia’s pettiness over the whole dorit/ dorito thing instead of just admitting hey it wasn’t good for Adriane to say it and we shouldn’t either you double down by saying the reviewer is out of their mind we weren’t the initiator it’s disgusting to perpetuate that kind of ignorance and I won’t be listening anymore you should be ashamed of the way you not only behaved as your co host was attempting to say hey we were wrong but instead decided to try to paint the reviewer as the culprit your whole demeanor about this reminds me of a Hollywood high school mean girl wanna be
  • Kara Coo
    I love this podcast!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts!
  • Who did you do you who do
    Name ignorance.
    Randomly stumbled on this podcast. Although I only agree with 50% of their opinions, I figured it would be a good addition to my lists. Until the end where they were calling Dorit, Dorito. Her father is Israeli and it’s a traditional Hebrew name. How’s it ok to mock her name?
