    Live for Juicy Scoop!
    Tuesday and Thursday are literally my favorite days of the week because of this podcast! I’ve been listening since 2019 and just love Heather, she is a true delight! The shows are always extra funny and amazing whenever Chris, Spencer and Julie & Brandy are on! Also love the Patreon! Extra scoop on Friday’s are the best and juicy crimes with Shannon is always so interesting.
  • not a trol, just truthful
    Heather, get over yourself
    Heather is in love with Heather!

    Fav pop culture podcast
    I just love Heather’s comedic and relatable take on things.
  • haDC
    That was random
    Please, don’t interrupt people. It’s a hard listen. I feel like you shouldn’t have Kate Casey on, you seem to interrupt every time she talked.
  • Jierlo
    Let Holly speak
    How many times do we have to hear about Heather at the Playboy Mansion and not being able to go anymore because she got married. Holly played this well and let just let HM talk about herself and her family like she always does. Learned a lot about her Dad today. How do you not know who Barbie Benton is? Laughable.

    Love the guests lately!

    Serious question
    Does heather have a low IQ? Sometimes she sounds so stupid.
  • TheRadioDude
    Serious question
    Does it Heather have a low IQ?
  • LABaby1986
    This podcast got me through so much….
    …but has morphed into something completely unrecognizable over the past year. You can hear fragments of what it used to be when Brandy and Julie are on - otherwise it is basically unlistenable. So sad to say good-bye.
  • Michelley mom
    Interrupt much?
    This lady is in love with her own voice. The way she just talked right over the Amazing Kate Casey??? As though she wasn’t even there? Kate was very gracious though and just let her go.
  • Falen88
    Holly Madison 😍🥰
    OK, Holly Madison and the girls next-door that’s my generation. I grew up watching that it was the first reality show I got into …love them. She’s so smart and cute.
  • blahblah12888
    No Holly
    I was a huge Girls Next Door fan but will never be able to listen when Holly is on. For someone who thinks so little of someone and was “so abused” by him, she sure has made a great living off using his name any chance she gets for money. 🤮
  • clairjmixon
    She’s the best
    It’s like she’s in my brain. She asks what I’m thinking and says what I’ve been saying. Love Heather.
  • Westindn
    Brandi and Julie
    I love your podcast all the time, you are so entertaining, but when Brandi and Julie are on, it’s a special kind of magic.
  • CCROW313
    Love your show
    Love listening to your podcast. I look forward to it and thanks for helping me get through my days by giving something to look forward to. You are an awesome person!

    The Housewives of (fill in the blank) is so 2019. I’m over all of it. Boring

    🛑
    Been a long time listener and used to look forward to Juicy Scoop. Not any more. At all. After years of Heather interrupting her guests, I just can’t stand it any longer. Sadly, she hasn’t learned from her viewers reviews. I wonder if she’s like that with people in general. Not a good look.
  • Dieseljn
    Love the pod!
    I love when Julie, brandy, Chris, Carlos king, Matt Murphy and your writer friend that was on Hacks guest star, and also when Kate Casey and nick Viall and Zack peters and dr drew. I just love the pod. 🩷
  • Saul323
    Juicy scooper since day 1…..
    Shallon lester….i couldn’t even finish the episode. That’s all.
  • Uhgigo
    Had to review based on today’s amazing episode (4/3/25)
    Juicy Scoop is my guilty pleasure and I love Heather’s humor and predictions. My favorite episodes are when Brandy and Julie are on, because when the three of these ladies are together, they are so darn funny. ❤️

    I have a theory
    I’ve been listening for a long time & this pod has become unbearable & unlistenable. Heather does it to herself bc she has to be the one talking without allowing guests to talk. I work inpatient psych for 25 years. I believe Heather is on the spectrum, high functioning Asperger’s. She HAS to complete her sentences, has to overtalk to make her point & if someone interrupts her, she’s agitated, voice inflection goes up & she still has to complete her sentences. She can’t let it go. The last couple of pods she actually told her guests to hold on so SHE could finish her sentences & never went back to them. When guests do get to talk, she does the fake “I’m interested in what they are saying” by going, yeahhhh, yeahhhh. While she is highly narcissistic, that’s a fact, she really has an over inflated sense of self. I don’t know who is paying for patron. In the words of HM, WHATEVERRRRR. So f’n dismissive.

    LET YOUR GUEST SPEAK!
    Nick Viall was launching into juicy info about Sandoval - so of course The Interrupter interrupted, completely cutting him off. She has horrible interviewing skills- like the worst of any podcast out there. Why does she even have guests? she’s so incredibly rude. She asked Nick to explain himself about a topic ,& the second he started speaking, she jumped in again and cut him off mid sentence. She also criticized her guest which is totally uncool. There’s a reason people don’t like heather
  • caitbabo
    Thank you Heather
    Thank you for speaking up about gun safety and the dangers associated with having a firearm in the house. Thank you for helping to bring awareness to family fire.

    Shallon Lester
    This was the first time I’ve ever turned off your podcast and for sure the first time I’ve been moved to review a podcast anywhere! I have been listening for five years, think you are a delight, bought tickets to your shows all the things. Lester was the most cringeworthy guest you’ve had (I understand you are trying to see both sides). But the idea of guns in your nightstand, guns in your car is so not responsible to advocate for, when small children are literally finding guns and accidentally shooting each other on a nearly daily basis. And the fact that she’s so proud of herself for never apologizing for anything. Not a real winner there. Made me sad.

    Interview with Kate Casey
    Heather is not a good interviewer- she talks over her guests and only interested in herself.
  • C_L3K
    Great guest
    Thank you for the Kate Casey episode
  • mary sio
    STOP TALKING OVER PEOPLE, take a breath
    Learn how to interview Why have ANYONE on, you are so unaware of how you just steam roll over people
  • Cpsetter
    Love Heather
    Not a fan of of this Kate lady at all. I feel like she has resting b***c face. I would rather have Spencer in her place all day.

    Stop interrupting!!
    She asked her guest how to pronounce “The Substance”….shes supposed to be a pop news ‘queen’…far from it. …She says ‘whatever’ every other sentence when she doesn’t know facts or names. She also started saying ‘anyways’ too much. In addition to the lack of juicy scoop (she gets her news and some conspiracy theories from Tic Toc), and the nonstop “whatever’s” are too much, had to unsubscribe.
  • TRS336
    PLEASE NEW INTRO MUSIC
    Love love the show but good grief the intro “rap” is so so so so so cringe. It’s almost painful. Please Heather…. New intro music?
  • Ex Juicy Scooper
    Ewww
    Heather’s opinions are out of touch and pathetic.
  • lkluck
    Slightly delusional real housewife material
    But I’m here for it and I love hearing this podcast it’s very enjoyable and I’m picky. I look forward to new episodes, great topics and Heather, you make me chuckle 😍. Entertaining, yes and also kinda delulu
  • MSfromKY
    Juicy Scoop
    I have trouble following Heather’s stories somerimes. I feel like she skips over a lot. 🤷‍♀️
  • Taylor Belle 123
    Heather, you’re a hypocrite
    You went on Nicks show recently saying how you don’t block people, you just mute them. That’s a lie!!!!! You literally blocked my good friend who STILL listens to you and pays for your stupid Patron and she literally defended you to Jeff so many times! All she said was “you are in the right here but I just wish you had given the earrings back right away” and you blocked her for that. So messed up. If you go on Reddit, you are CONSTANTLY blocking people. Why do you do that?!
  • ShannonStormDoor
    My favorite pop culture podcast
    Thank you Heather for always keeping me in the loop with the juiciest scoops! I love your impressions and your hot takes on all things bravo and headlines!

    So many sheeple!!!
    Heather! I love you but you’ve got to stop having these armchair idiot podcasters on the show with this JB/BL drama and because you haven’t done your own reading you’re allowing them to take you for a ride! It’s ridiculous how much they’re even contradicting themselves [Dave Neal says JB had 10 hours to respond, Zack Peter says 14 hours to respond] the devil is in the details and these guests are taking one side that just spewed everything out there [and interestingly did not provide evidence for many of the other accusations?? Where’s the footage of the birthing scene?? And so many other questions not enough time to cover all in this review] and having very severe opinions presented as fact without ever getting the counter evidence or facts which are being reserved for a court of law, as it should be! I’m so upset with social media in general based on what’s happening with this coverage and the coverage of this case truly does show majority is just so biased against a successful and beautiful woman. I can’t find another explanation for all the hate and lack of neutrality. Not one fair assessment. Further to that-two key points in this case [astroturfing which is far beyond Dave Neal’s explanation and is the very crux of this case and STILL HAPPENING plain to see] and Stephanie Jones I believe is far more involved here than is being discussed. Please get some real research and people from both sides before you continue down this rabbit hole. While you are comedy, it is technically contributing to the disinformation that is the pitfall of social media when everyone is a “journalist.” Opinion through one lens is not fact. We don’t even have the other lens. Two people made lawsuits. One person threw out all their evidence and another did not. Let’s keep a level head people. At least try…

    Five ⭐️
    It took me a few years to become as obsessed with this podcast as I am, but as an old school Chelsea Lately fan, I always liked Heather. This podcast is without a doubt a highlight of my day. Heather doesn’t take herself or the industry too seriously but her opinions on most things are so spot on. As a mother of three myself, she has the life experience of someone I want to listen to and is laugh out loud funny. EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. 10/10. You are tiers above the Viall’s, you handled those episodes with so much class.

    Can’t listen anymore
    Used to be one of my favorites, but in my opinion has been getting progressively worse since Justin stopped coming on. The quality in content and production is not what it used to be and that makes me sad
  • Kayederp
    Double standard
    Please move on from Blake and Justin I am begging. As a woman who claims to have been sexually harassed and astroturfed I cannot believe you have spent so much time and energy trying to discredit another woman claiming the same. And worse, you are one of the only people who still care. I have listened to the pod since 2019 and am ready to move on from this phase please
  • Down_bad
    Yikes
    A grifter at worst, uninformed at best. Has a huge opinion on headlines she reads. Immature point of view and needs growth. Over talks guests. Use to be decent.
  • Laura Cee 0909
    Good, but too much interrupting
    I love Juicy Scoop, but Heather’s constant interrupting of guests is grating. It’s to the point where I’m anticipating the interruption and willing the guest to power through her interrupting or hurry up and say it before she can interrupt. She should either stop having guests and just talk herself (which is fine!) or take the numerous listener comments to heart and stop interrupting her guests. It’s hard to listen to!
