Everyone's Business (But Mine) with Kara Berry

Kara Berry is legit the most witty, hilarious, authentic, and entertaining podcaster I’ve listened to …and I listen to way too many podcasts. I beyond appreciate her detailed analysis (not merely recapping — analyzing), of both TV & “pop culture” (aka entertainment news). There’s an oversaturation of recap/rewatch & pop culture pods, and as a listener its a bit overwhelming, especially when hosts waste my time rushing thru and glazing over key moments (too many distracted watchers doing podcasts), which is why I wish Kara recapped pretty much everything but she’s already uploading 4 times/week. Her takes, research, attention to detail, passion — always on point. Period. Unfortunately, I’m just not into the Quiverful/Fundamentalist “family” TLC reality show genre, so I haven’t been listening as much recently, but the weekly Pop Culture Roundup eps are everything and I’m really behind on Bravo shows rn so the generous back catalogue is giving — plus the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives recaps made sitting thru Hulu’s ads worth it. Originally discovered this pod from a collab Kara did on Hollywood True Crime Scene. I’d love to see some rewatches/recaps of OG reality TV on the main feed. Been considering the Patreon, but holding back because feed’s hosted on Acast, which already causes my app to crash… and I’m really, really broke rn (sorry). Just had to shout out how much I appreciate this podcast, and Kara for doing it so well, all on her own, no less! A host that’s equally great solo & with guest hosts is incredibly rare. Wow, this review got long quick.

Decent podcast but when Kara whispers it drives me crazy. Worse than nails on a chalkboard.

A misophonia nightmare. So many mouth sounds: excess saliva, swallowing, etc. I’ve never noticed tech sound quality before, but this podcast plays in one ear then switches to the other, and it sounds like she’s rolling around in bed occasionally dragging her bedding over the mic. She talks about subjects I’m super interested in and can be funny, and I’m frustrated that I can’t listen because of the mouth sounds. The crummy recording quality is tolerable, but misophonia makes the mouth noises a living nightmare. Girl, please for the love of god fix your sound.

This is one podcast. I cannot miss. I’m always excited when I see. She’s got a new episode.
