Doesn’t know their names?
There is a lot going on in reality tv right now - I get it. But to not know the names of the girls in the show you are covering is ridiculous. Especially Whitney who is so important in the SLOMW franchise! Also confusing Layla and Demi… cmon

Denae was a delight
Danae was so fun- please have her back!!! She would be a fun regular along with Chris, Brandy and Julie!

Heather Is Phoning It In
Can’t think of the last time there has been a good episode. This one in particular is so boring. No good guests anymore and if you look back, she had the audacity to try to make it look like she had an interview with Lisa Rena; promoted it like it was current and it was years old. It’s getting really sad. It’s like nails on a chalkboard at this point.

Needs better editing
Content is great but the editing needs work. Very choppy lately. It was much better when she had the assistants (Annie, Nicki etc). There’s no segue to commercials and also switch in topics. For example, on the pod with the love overboard people, it went from the guys
To the girls very abruptly. Just could use some finesse.

Mood Boost!!
I’ve been listening to Heather for years and I instantly get that serotonin flowing when I get a new episode! She’s so relatable and funny! People are saying she talks about her past, but her stories are always humble and sometimes self deprecating. Her stories help you relate to her, because a lot of women/ people have experienced similar things just in different settings. In podcasting you’re selling yourself and the audience gets to know you through life experiences!! So, idk why other reviews are so judgmental. It’s fun, juicy and light. We need that these days!! Like a catchup with your besties! I love Chris, Zach and Brandy & Julie!! Probably the best pop culture podcast out there!! Must listen!!

Decline in quality content
I have listened for years and usually enjoyed this show however the quality of the episodes has really gone down hill in recent months and each week gets more disappointing and end up turning it off. The interesting stuff she used to share is now all on patreon. The guest interviews are not interesting and she interrupts constantly. So frustrating. Go back to OG juicy scoop talking about reality and celebrity news with funny banter.

MAGA Heather
Shocking that maga Heather is fully siding with a man in the TFP mess instead of understanding that it is nuanced and more than one thing can be true at one time. Disappointing but not surprising. I think she got her doctorate in psychology from RFK university.

Love when you have Zach on. Thank you.

Not a pop culture podcast
just a 56 yr old woman telling stories about how she was on TV 20 years ago over and over and over and over. Try Kiki reality checked - Kiki won’t interrupt and talk over who she is interviewing to talk about herself- like this host Heather McDonald does. All the networks and gossip sites contact KiKi directly w news and also send her previews of every show before the show airs.

Time to give it up….
The Jill thing showed who you truly are. Pulling from Patreon and STOP talking over people

I am a fan of her
Not Brandy and Julie. Can we get back to the old juicy scoop? Mean girls. Stop letting your republican side show. Just make us laugh.

No thanks
Had to stop listening as her MAGA views became more and more obvious

Talking over guests
It’s not interesting listening to you and Paul Royston produce hypothetical shows! We want to hear all the behind-the-scenes dirt from when he was actually doing shows that we watched! So self-indulgent and clueless. Unbearable listening to old Lisa Rinna interview where Heather barely lets her get a word in edgewise and speaks over her, interrupts her and talks down to her. Really cringe. But I keep listening because sometimes it’s so truly juicy and great.

Love!
This is my true guilty pleasure. I love listening to this podcast it makes my day. It’s a great escape for the craziness of my life. My absolute favorite duo is Chris F. And Heather. Their dynamic is really the best and they both are pretty well in sync. The one duo I love to tune in for is always Spencer Pratt, they are such a great time and feed off each other. Love their spin on everything and just love that Heather has a sense of humor. Great great great!

Never miss an episode!
I have been a Juicy scooper almost from the first episode and it’s only gotten better over the years. She’s equally self deprecating and outspokenly proud and grateful for her successes which she has worked very hard for. Her guests are always great, especially Al her regulars.

Great escape
Just what I need to escape the hardships of motherhood and sad world news!! Great escape, easy listen, and always brings a laugh and smile to my day

Are you serious?
So, you are going to talk about the Epstein files and pretend you care about the victims. Pretend you are a good Christian. Pretend to be a good Catholic. Then completely skip over the fact that Trump is named over 38,000 times. Yes, go in hard on David Copperfield. A million eye rolls. You are vile, fake and immoral and just really stupid.

My favorite podcast to get me through my workout
This is the podcast I listen to when I can’t do anymore true crime and I need some pop culture and Heather has a unique energy that uplifts me. Love it! Subscribed

Unfortunate
I’m not sure who is more inarticulate Heather or Hines.

Getting Hard to Listen to…
Stop the ozempic - it’s making you dry mouth and all you do is smack your lips. Extremely distracting and annoying.

Love when Zack is on. Great chemistry.

Facts
More incorrect information- fact - JFK JR died before his cousin. You said Anthony passed before and you said it so confidently even though you were wrong. Heather has changed- seems to not care about her listeners and always brings it back to herself. Brandy and Julie laughing at the most inappropriate things and just laughing when nothing is funny may lend a tip to lay off the pot. Heather please get it together and humble yourself- also where is the actual “juicy scoop” at this point you are just reading the news or doing show recaps and they are not even accurate.

Please Don’t Invite Zach Peters on Show
You are my favorite podcast, Heather … 5 Stars!! I love when you have Brandy and Julie on along with Chris Franjola. With that being said — please don’t invite Zach Peters back. He is disrespectful and a know it all. His language about Nancy Guthrie is horrible and very unkind.

Tone deaf
I have been a fan for years but this latest episode where you pump up your cousin for winning the gold, confirmed everything I thought about you. I didn’t want to believe it so I was ignoring the signs but here we are. Read the room sister! Internalized misogyny is not a good look. When they asked you talk about how wonderful he is, (at the risk of your own career) you should have said no!

Juicy Scoop Light
Talks ALOT about Housewives but completely ignores Jill Zarin being racists
Talks ALOT about Epstein and many of the people in the files but never utters Trumps 1Million entries
Couldn’t wait to be a hanger on to her who knows how distant of a cousin winning Gold but didn’t mention the phone call
Some stories still entertaining but I guess only when she’s wants them to be

I’m out
Can’t do the hypocrisy and misinformation any longer. I have listened for years but Heather has become increasingly difficult to enjoy.

No
I used to like this but something has changed. I don’t think people need to hear about things you see on tik tok. I think you’re losing credibility and it seems like you’re buying into the dubious theories that abound on the internet. Use your own mind

Love
I never miss an episode. Great entertaining show!

Paying extra for crying
I just paid for extra juicy and literally it’s not what I expected. I thought it was extra juice not heather crying for 15 minutes. Don’t waste your money
alexLcmlala
Her friends tell you all
She pines for attention from other Zlist celebrities. Jill Zarin comes to mind!. Idk what audience she pandering to but it’s been very sketchy over the years. and for the love of all that’s holy, honey, you are not a criminal defense attorney. No matter how many times you mention it, you can not absorb your sisters accolades. And did you go to USC? I can’t remember. Maybe I can listen to every episode and see if you mention it………

Gawwd the giggling
Is it Brandi? Julie? Someone’s awful cringy laugh is killing your pod.

Horrible taste
Heather shows horrible taste in slamming the best movie for the last 12 months-Melania! She sounds as jealous teenager! Get some class , Heather!
Evelyn9876
Yay Julie and Brandy!
Thank goodness for Julie saying Trump, for one second, also being in the files (more than Jesus Christ in the Bible, Heather!). Not once, mentioning it after talking about so many high profile people in it, to NOT say our sitting president?! Is irresponsible.

Best of the Best!!!
#1 Favorite podcast of all time!!! Heather is consistently incredible and never disappoints! Makes me laugh weekly with all her hilarious content. ❤️

Hard pass
Heather’s show has really gone downhill. The guests are consistently weak, the comedy just isn’t landing, and there’s a noticeable pattern of misinformation. On the rare occasion she attempts a joke, it usually falls flat.

Honest Review
OMG…..it’s 2026!!
Who still listens to Kid Rock?!?!? If my husband said he had tickets to a Kid Rock concert, I would think he’d lost his mind and musical TASTE!!!!
Such a MAGA….sad

Love love love
I’ve been listening for years and you always have the best, opened minded take on everything. You lead with common sense and sprinkle in humor. I love your regular guests so much!
DevotedListener2
Revamp your show
Chris Franjola is NOT funny
A confused victim
MAGA Agenda
Canceled subscription. I realized Heather uses diverse guests to keep the audience guessing about her MAGA ideologies so she can continue profiting from an audience she really dislikes. I felt disappointed in myself for falling for her “this is not a political show” messaging while she not-so-subtly pushes her full on MAGA agenda in almost every episode. Just publicly embrace the audience you really love and stop playing games with the rest of us.

Suspicious
Heather not mentioning her bestie Jill Zarin when talking about superbowl is INSANE 🫣🫣
Heather..Jill?
Not for News
It’s hard to follow Heather’s train of thought. With all her misused words and broken sentences, she really struggles to communicate, and always seems confused.

Unsubscribed
I was thinking the other day how I’m so glad I unsubscribed to this garbage. I used to enjoy her humor and put up with her narcissism but once she let her MAGA flag fly, it was hard to ignore her views for a few jokes. I see here that I’m not alone. There will always be a market of like minded people who agree with her take and can put up with jumbled facts and her ignorance. I’m glad I’m no longer amongst them.

Over it
I’ve been listening to Heather for many years but I’m done with this podcast. The nonstop interruptions of her guests is annoying. Why have on guests if they don’t get to finish a thought??
G of STL
Dismissive of SA
I just listened to the Feb 3 episode with Zach Peter. You two discussed the Epstein files and were both very dismissive. Don’t you have a history or some sort of unwanted encounter? He said we’ll be over it by next week. Not your words but YOU control the editing. Truly sad.
