    On Lexi’s payroll?
    Okay, sometime i like this pod, and other times I’m wondering how we could possibly be watching the same show. Lexi is a vapid clout chaser, and that’s the real reason she got involved with Jesse. Jesse is a complete effboy, and it didn’t work out, she bet it all on him, ignoring the girls in the house and now wants to look like the victim. In no universe was their relationship more significant that West and Ciara, who dated for several months OFF camera! Seems a bit microaggressions towards Ciara honestly. I don’t know if the podcaster is blinded by Canadian bias or what, but the rest of us are thrilled that Lexi isn’t returning.
  • MaloriD
    Love this podcast
    Great podcast!
  • DiscoPeach
    Great Host and Great Content
    I really enjoy this podcast. The host is knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly great at what she does. Always looking forward to new episodes!
  • MaritzaALopez
    Must Listen for Bravo Fans!!
    Dana, you’re killin it! This is an excellent podcast for your latest Bravo news!
  • annereeseannereese
    New favorite
    I love this podcast! I recently found it and it’s amazing. The research done is awesome. Love how many shows it covers. Will continue to listen! The b true Hollywood stories are amazing. Such a unique idea. You can tell how much research she puts into them. I’ve watched these shows for a decade plus and I still learn something new!
  • Lollerrr 222
    Decent if you’re bored
    Ok so why do you care so much about LVP? Seems like you might be projecting something. Because you really just assume her thoughts and actions. As far as James goes… How dare her support someone that needs help and has made awful mistakes! And of course Ally isn’t lying! Girl listen to yourself.
  • CarlRadGF
    Really?
    I think this host hates podcasting but loves meeting bravo celebrities :(
  • MeKenna Brielle
    Just blah
    I think the host acts like she knows a lot more than she actually does about a lot of these topics and “tea.” As far as your comment about Madison and Paige, you are contradicting yourself and what do you mean how would she not notice? They’re literally all on the same network and she was close enough with her because she’s close with Craig, and Paige shouldn’t have ignored her, and a pregnancy is a big deal and Paige not congratulating her was wrong. Madison was just answering the question honestly on watch what happens live and she answered it perfectly. She was polite but clear with her message. All of you defending Paige for every little thing to me is just so crazy.
  • TheRHOLA
    Great podcast!
    I am somewhat new to this podcast and I love it! The podcaster is relatable and personable with her listeners. Every week, this is one of the first podcasts I click on for all the tea!
  • CourtneyM22
    One of my faves
    I recently discovered this podcast and it has turned into one of my favorites. There are a lot of bravo pods out there but what differentiates this one from the others is Dana’s personal stories. I really admire her ability to be raw and vulnerable. I think you should cover Lindsay Hubbard for your next B True Hollywood Story. Hope you get to have that coffee date with Carl!
  • dani1892992
    Enjoy this pod!
    I really like this podcast and hearing the takes on bravo and other reality tv! And I love the b true Hollywood story series as well!
  • Busbaby
    Great info but…
    Listening to her deep dive on Shep-so interesting but the constant mispronunciation of larger words is jarring. But when she is not reading something she is really good
  • Sigi_Maye
    Ahhh man!
    I followed the show but then saw in the reviews you had Dana Bowling on…that’s an immediate unfollow. Wish I could’ve tried a listen!
  • MissCrys808State
    Calm.
    Having two crazy 🤪 and feral little boys (4&7) my life is absolute chaos. Many times I find myself totally overwhelmed and over stimulated. I know that when I turn on an episode and hear Dana that by the end of it I will be back to center, cool calm and collected. I love her hot takes and usually echo the same sentiment so I always feel seen ♥️ and ready to take gum out of hair, scrub markers off walls, referee wwe brawls and make breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks. And that’s just From their crazy and feral dad! 😉 😂 Aloha from the island of O’ahū, in the state of Hawai’i. 🌺
  • Sam sam blah blah
    Love listening to Dana come into her own
    Dana’s podcast is so entertaining. Love all her bravo takes and especially when she disagrees with the hive mind of most bravo podcasters. She’s relatable, kind, and willing to give people a chance. Also, love that she interacts with us listeners when we have input or just a “yes, and”. Keep up the great work, Dana—love you BB
  • MegApp
    Thorough and Entertaining!
    I’m sorry you had a rough week at work!!! I really enjoyed this episode with Ryan Bailey and always appreciate how thorough you are with your research and enjoy your entertaining takes!! @meganchelsey :)
  • CatGRYT
    Recent Fan!

  • vprjunkie
    Nope… never again
    First and last time I ever listen!! I couldn’t stand her voice and it sounded like a bedtime story the whole way through!! 🙄
  • DrewDmngz
    Toxic Dana Bowling
    Loved this pod until she decided to have Dana guest on the pod. Dana is a Zionist Elon apologist. Not to mention the other horrific things she posts on threads and X
  • Persophine
    Dana🚫
    Dana is biased thirsty a personality celeb podcast stalker ⚡️Make Better choices next guest✔️💯 Enjoy you❣️
  • BigFigures3
    No thanks
    Same stuff you can find scrolling instagram. Sounds like the host is jealous of other creators.
  • samtha3133
    Dana Bowling is a toxic MAGA
    I used to love your show until you had Dana Bowling the Zionist MAGA mean girl Trump supporter on.
  • Doser from Kansas!
    Lively With Dana
    This is an amazing episode! What a great episode!!
  • Listener2021:)
    Love Dana Bowling
    Great show and so glad you had one of my favorites on your show! Love Daily’s with Dana!
  • ugh my name was taken
    Please be smarter about ads
    I enjoy listening to this content and I am understanding and accepting of ads (get your bag) but I’m listening to the latest ep and an ad pops up literally in the middle of a sentence. “But I kind of feel like it’s time to…” [AD BREAK] “acknowledge that we’re kind of playing a game.” The editing is lazy and frustrating as a listener. Why wouldn’t you put the ad in between topics? Like you would a paragraph break? It’s a rhetorical question, we all already know the answer.
  • Ginger666
    Boring
    You repeat what happened without any insight or opinions. I watched the show, I don’t need to listen to a straight recap. Her voice is annoying, blah, blah, blah.
  • BravoByB
    Love this
    Thank you, cousins there is no way on planet earth I ever would have found this podcast and I love it
  • AmySeeksTruth
    Love the pace
    On 12/31 good way to deliver a lot of content in an in-depth but still well paced format. Loved Jana?
  • C_L3K

  • 303-lady
    Audio is terrible
    I hate to be negative but the audio is terrible. I was distracted by the audio and was, therefore, unable to listen to the content. Sounds like we are listening to a voicemail.
  • eileen334455
    Great pod!
    Enjoying the pod!
  • Fishchance11

  • RKAF2021
    Real Podcast

  • AmandaBella19
    True fan and natural
    Been dipping in and out of listening to Dana for a while! But this recent gypsy rose episode she said everything I have been thinking, so between reading my mind and making me LOL I am looking forward to more eps!!
