I just found this podcast, and it’s truly one of the best Bravo/pop culture podcasts around! Emily is right up there with Watch What Crappens and The Brav Bros!

Say something funny. Time stamps are nuts.

Disappointed by labeling a victim and whistleblower as mentally unstable. Speculating that the news program regretted the decision when it’s standard to vet a guest & they knew exactly who they asked to be on the program. Discrediting someone’s word because it sounds crazy to you is dangerous. You don’t have to co-sign it but you’re actively negating things that you have no idea about. Their word was deemed crazy in the past and now there is concrete proof. The lie is more comfortable than the truth. It’s more than just one person with similar accounts. Troy McEady does intense research before giving an opinion on very serious topics. I’m giving 3 stars instead of 1 because there is no personal ill will but a call to reflect, release anger and move forward more thoughtfully.

I enjoy Emily’s takes and her attitude. One of my favorite podcasts for listening to Bravo recaps and news. Thanks Emily, you’re doing a great job! 💖

I enjoy you. I enjoy your insight. Thank you !

When you talk about President Obama participating in “freak-offs” that’s when I’m out!

The mean girl bullying to other creators on IG and also putting that hate fueled speech behind a paywall is absolutely ridiculous. Getting other podcasters to hop on the hate train is also ridiculous. You podcasters really think you’re someone special don’t you? Treating your peers like this bc you have a large following that’ll listen to your complaints. You’re a mean spirited person w/ no real sense of knowledge; your entire podcast (& online personality), much like your IG, is based off your only emotion…anger.

A lot of bizarre use of AAVE, a lot of diet talk and equating thinness to superiority and morality, the episodes have gotten a lot shorter and less consistent, not covering a lot of bravo shows (Dubai, rhonj), pia who was crucial to the podcast is now gone. I want to hang in there bc I used to really look forward to it.

But where’s Pia!!!

I would say I generally like this, but it is pretty clear the host takes a beat and reads the commentary and then forms their opinion. I started listening a bit earlier, but now that it is so obvious, it kind of makes it harder to get by listening. It’s weird to form your opinion after asking your guest what they think.

Thanks for a fun pod!

Just gross - gross - gross

Used to love this show. Not so much anymore. It’s not her content, the bravo recaps are good. She’s just very judgemental and calls for bullying of anybody who isn’t extremely left leaning. She’s got typical “privileged white presenting” takes. Anybody who has different political views shes speaks of like they’re subhuman.

She has said many problematic things and although she likes to think she is “woke” she is a misogynist and kind of racist. One time she talked about how she looks white but of course “lucky her” the one Mexican thing she has is her frizzy hair. How dare you! I’m not Mexican but I am a brown Hispanic woman who loves what she looks like and people like you are the problem. You wish you had more Latin in you!! But I guess if what you love about yourself is how basic you look, good for you. You’re not my people and you’re also a user. Keep using Pia and not tagging her! Great friend you are!

Her takes are seemingly to seem politically correct, and a bit angry . She is also quite judgemental even when saying characters on certain shows are(?) also not sure what happened to sometimes co host Pia. Clearly a falling out happened, don’t blame Pia

I really like this podcaster. She’s smart and witty.

Unfollowed her on instagram and podcast. She is a white girl who speaks with a blaccent but acts like she is for the people. Her instagram takes are wild. Especially after an assassination attempt of a former president. It shouldn’t matter what side you are on, to be anti guns but not anti an assassination attempt is absolutely wild. Emily needs to do a little soul searching cause this ain’t it.

Really look forward to listening and always put at the top of my queue!

Emily is my go to for pop culture and reality tv commentary. Her laugh makes me laugh and when her Kendrick get together I feel as is I'm chatting with old friends. Her Vanderpump and Traitors coverage is gold!

On me point of view podcast are kinda dumb

How is this not a “5?” Emily is great and I love listening.

Emily is so funny and I love her frequent guests too, this podcast is perf and new episodes give me life

Thank you for this podcast. I LOVE when you cover Love Island USA. I listen to many of them and this is the only one that makes me laugh out loud. Every moment is perfect. Thank you!!

This is a fun, gossipy little podcast

I was worried summer would be a Bravo drought without my She’s Speaking podcast fix, but then Emily came through like the reality TV podcast goddess she is and graced us with the best Love Island recaps out there. Apparently, our collective pleas about Love Island were heard, and let me tell you, these are the episode summaries our sun-soaked brains crave! Emily's take on the whole thing is hilarious, and it's the perfect escape when I'm feeling down. Big thanks from your biggest fan in Vermont (who also occasionally catches the live streams)! Keep up the fantastic work!

I’ll say- even though I don’t always agree with Emily- I really enjoy the podcast! It’s been interesting to see a different point of view (even though we also have a lot of similar views) it feels like chatting with a friend and it’s fun to listen to a podcast about current events and my favorite shows without it being too loud and cheesy. I have tried giving other podcasts a try that talk about current events and Bravo and they come off super loud obnoxious and cheesy so I actually really enjoy the way she recaps episodes and talks about the news. I’ve been following since Scandoval because I needed someone to talk to about the events taking place so I am happy I found it here!

Thanks for all the great content Emily.

Emily is one of my favorite podcasters. I came across this podcast a few months ago. Loving it!

Love listening to Emily’s podcasts, even on shows I don’t watch. She is super funny and her reality tv takes are always spot on! Added bonus when we get Ken in an episode.

I found Emily on YouTube and now listen again on podcast. She’s hilarious, she and Kendrick are a scream and her cats are adorable. If you’re not listening you’re missing out!

I love listening!

This is easily one of my favorite podcasts for Bravo commentary and pop culture takes. Emily is smart, funny, insightful, social justice and trauma-informed, and a natural on-air personality. I have misophonia and am very picky about voices and audio, and hers is never ever an issue. She’s just a joy to listen to, on her own pod or as a guest on others. Highly recommend.

By far my favorite podcast! Emily recaps are the best, especially love island USA!

Emily is such a great listen! Love her Bravo and Love Island recaps! Emily and Kendrick 2024! They have me ROTFL every time❤️

***editing post as of 6/2024….i pay for a Patreon to hear bravo recaps and apparently now it’s a podcast that recaps the mother daughter experiment….? With no warning about the change to her paying subscribers. Pia was the BEST cohost and she’s gone with no word about why and what happened, just that she made the best decision for the pod. Emily also took away episodes for the lower tier that we were previously getting with no notice. Quality and quantity is going downhill at a rapid pace! Wow. I truly love this podcast. Top tier guest (specifically queen PIA and Kendrick). they truly give the most detailed analysis of bravo episodes with the best humor around. LOVE the true crime episodes also. 5 star!! **Edited December 2023. Still love the pod but wish the episodes were longer (especially for us Patreon members who pay). Housewives recaps used to be an hour and now they’re around 30-40 min. Hoping we get longer episodes in 2024 <3

Podcasts should be fun and entertaining. The last few episodes I’ve listened to seem like she’s upset and angry about everything. Maybe I’ll try back again later.

Sorry but you just lost a listener and viewer.

Why isn’t she recapping summer house???

I love Emily & agree with all her povs, except politics, just stay away from topic. LOL I also love Kendrick & completely agree that Tom Sandoval is an awful villain. No one likes him & he’s not entertaining. He has mental issues & seriously needs help.

Emily’s takes are always the best- I wait every week for the pods to drop! 10/10 recommend

Becoming a podcast that I return to more and more. I really enjoy the discussion of happenings beyond the actual show recordings - discussions of cast podcasts and interviews etc.

Hmm dissing Lala for impersonating people when you do the same is vile.

I love Emily, i love her takes, i love her connection with her audience. She is so entertaining & insightful & i wish she could make more episodes bc Im obsessed! And that isn’t on her, bc she works hard & can’t possibly do more & live her life, but i just crave her content bc its so good!

Loved the content and listened to all the new episodes. It’s too bad politics ruins otherwise great content.

I’m so happy I stumbled upon you!! I love hearing your takes, you make me laugh and I love how long your podcasts are!!

New listener and I‘ve gone back far, listened to so many VPR and Valley recaps. Very fun, logical, no annoying music or sounds and good audio value. Chef’s kiss recap show!

Emily is smart, sharp and funny- such a joy listening to your podcast.

Stop licking Ariana’s balls already 😆

Found some podcasters after Scandoval and Emily was one of them! I’ve tried to listen to her many times, I love when she has Pia on but Emily is so emotional and seems angry a lot in her opinions. I enjoy those podcasters who truly try to see many points of view. I get it’s her opinion but hers is with way too much one sided emotion. You are not objective enough and maybe it’s because of your past but you alienate when you do that! Sometimes two things are true at once, humans are complex but being blinded by emotion does you no favors!

I went from only sort of liking the pod, to only listening every time Pia was on, to loving Emily, to now being so addicted I get antsy for new episodes. Really enjoy it. Emily has won me over with how hard she works, her takes and how knowledgeable she is. Get it girl !
