LOVE THE POD HATE THE SOUND

I look forward to the podcast, but the sound mixing is always so off. It’s so low for Emily and the guest is higher volume. Please fix this

Super excited for the pivot!!

Loved the show before and will always support you Emily Rose!! You’re an icon in this house. When I heard the jersey shore announcement I ran to the bedroom to scream with my girlfriend in excitement to rewatch season one with our number one queen! #nohatersinthereviews #youcandmyourtrashtakes

Update: I love you guys sooo much but can you guys say one nice thing about men ever? The way you speak about men vs women contestants is grossly hateful… you’ll go on a rant about how it’s mean to comment on Chelsea about her looks, then call jimmy a mediocre farm boy who looks ten years older than he is. Do you not see the double standard here?

Update update: just listened to your season finale recap on Summer House. You clearly have an agenda against men. You never have anything positive to say about any man unless they happen to be gay. We are all automatically evil in your eyes, and women can NEVER do anything wrong. Your guest on this episode was extremely hateful, it’s disgusting that this is what you’ve turned into. Men have feelings too, and you’re just a bigot. Good luck with your podcast.
