    Love all the guests
    You always have the best guests on to interview. The interview with Lisa was amazing!
  • AmalfiLove
    Interrogates guests; unprofessional
    The guests are great, but the way Amanda interrogates and judges a guest after they say something that is new to her is so off putting. It’s very unprofessional and shows a lack of maturity and understanding. Do your homework on your guests or learn to soften in interviews.

    I think it could be decent but the host doesn’t allow the guests to talk or even reply to her run of the mill questions that everyone else asks before her.

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
    EDIT: What world do we live in where we reward those who promote a massacring a people in a culture? Those who promote Islamophobia? What world are we living in? This is shameful! And Amanda, you should be ashamed of yourself. And this has nothing to do with being anti-Semitic… I’m a Jew myself. One who, I might add, has been called a rounding error and self hating Jew - the same rhetoric that Amanda promotes. Good riddance. DEAR MEDIA, AGAIN, do you promote and condone this?? And, this isn’t just about ‘free speech’ or NSBNF. There is a litany of other programs they support who are equally if not more RACIST. Dear Media's complicity with this irresponsibly ignorant and outright racist podcaster is nothing short of appalling, mirroring the problematic stance of the 'Toast Girls.' This isn’t merely about supporting Israel and advocating for hostages; it’s about perpetuating harmful, racist rhetoric and displaying a glaring ignorance in geopolitics beyond the borders of Israel. It’s time to educate yourselves. Amanda has the audacity to suggest that members of the LGBTQ+ community are foolish and misinformed for supporting the Palestinian cause and advocating for an end to their oppression. She manipulates the pain of one marginalized community to guilt-trip them into withdrawing support from another. But let’s set the record straight: LGBTQ+ rights are a global issue, and discrimination exists everywhere, including in the United States and in Israel. To highlight the hypocrisy: 43% of people in Israel oppose same-sex marriage, with an additional 13% somewhat opposing it. Furthermore, same-sex marriage isn’t even legally recognized in Israel. So, where exactly is your moral high ground, Amanda? As a Mexican, I ask you: Do you believe LGBTQ+ individuals are fully accepted within Mexican communities or among Catholics? Does that mean all Mexicans and Catholics should face condemnation? Your attempt to use the suffering of the LGBTQ+ community to push your own agenda is transparent and shameful. Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking can see through it. Amanda, I expected more, but given your history of Islamophobic remarks and your attempts to erase your anti-Arab sentiments from the internet, I’m not surprised. If you truly believe in the ethnic cleansing of Arabs, then have the courage to stand by your convictions openly, rather than hiding behind your platform, exploiting the LGBTQ+ community to further your hate-filled agenda. You’re an abomination to the podcast community, Amanda. We are not supporting terrorism; we are standing with the oppressed, including the hostages. We all so desperately want to come home. And make no mistake: your opportunistic exploitation of the suffering of hostages, Palestinians, and their families for personal gain does not go unnoticed. Goodbye.

    Love!
    I love listening to Amanda, and I never miss a podcast. She is a great interviewer and her discussions with guests flow so well—she is an easy conversationalist. I also love following her on Instagram!
  • nconno_
    Love you!
    Great interviews, I feel like I’m listening to a friend. Thank you for all you do babes
  • shelbyhehe
    Sorry, not for me
    I’ve tried listening to this podcast a couple of times and the style of interviewing is not for me.
  • Sondy:)
    Literally the best
    She has the best guests and the best interviews. Love how it just feels like you’re listening to 2 friends talking. She is honest and keeps it real but also makes the guests feel so comfortable. Love her and her pod. If you love pop culture, you should be listening.
  • caitiemax
    Not intelligent but also not nice
    Why is she always bullying her guests?

    Always fun and great guests!!
  • AlliB47
    Our BFF Amanda!
    Amanda has an incredible talent for making listeners feel like they are part of the conversation, as if we are her friends and family. She has the ability to make you laugh, cry, and eagerly search for each guest's Instagram to learn more. I absolutely love this podcast!
  • AmyLPS1215
    Whitney Port ep so good
    The way Amanda interviews and makes people trust and open up to her is incredible! So special.
  • jenn.kellar

  • CALBOS18
    Love this Pod!
    I look forward to this pod every week! Fun and funny, but also thoughtful…if it’s someone I like, Amanda brings out the best in them! If it’s someone I don’t know, I usually end up following! It just feels like an always real and authentic conversation that you want in on…love it! Brings out the fun in Pop Culture, no negativity!
  • blayke b
    Loveeeee!
    Everytime I listen to the pod I feel like I’m sitting down with my girlfriend talking. And I feel like Amanda’s guests feel the same. A+++ pod!
  • Craftycake27
    Good interviews but
    Huge zi0nist, no thanks 👋
  • SSC 31
    Whitney Port pod is so good!
    Amanda, you make us feel like we are in your living room.
  • Greek46
    Love this podcast!
    Amanda makes my long commute so much shorter. She asked the questions I would and her guests are fantastic. They always open up to her so much more than they for other people. Keep em coming!!!
  • Still Single but laughing
    Like being with a BFF
    NSBNF is so good. It’s like having coffee with your BFF. Love her and all the guests.
  • bgk830
    My weekly
    Really just enjoy Amanda’s back and forth with anyone she sits down with. Started listening in March and have been tuning in weekly since. Great guests, great interviews
  • Jen L Fox
    A must listen every week
    Obsessed with Amanda and obsessed with her pod! She is just so relatable and it truly does feel like your listening to your best friend. She asks the questions that us “norms” want to know.
  • bananrama98
    PATHETIC
    Awful. Legit the worst podcast host I have ever heard. So arrogant and thinks she is all that. Do not waste your time
  • SKWK25
    One of top GO-TO podcasts!
    One of the things I love most about this podcast is Amanda’s conversational ease with her guests, and the way that she gets people to open up about things as a listener you never even knew you cared to learn about! As far as interviewers go, this is one of Howard Stern’s greatest gifts and Amanda possesses it as well. There have been guests on that I didn’t think I would care to listen to, but Amanda has a way to make them so interesting and accessible. Even when I don’t even know who the guest is, I find myself engaged, actively listening. Definitely one of my most favorite and entertaining go-to podcasts! Highly recommend for those who love pop culture and not taking anything too seriously🥰
  • BR687
    Love this podcast
    I’m not sure why she has recent negative reviews. She has the best guests and is so fun to listen to. It feels like you’re listening to your best friend talk.
  • tk7997
    No
    She’s deadass rude and tries to make her guests feel uncomfortable. Booo
  • laurlaur1015
    It’s time to pick a new career
    I listened to several different episodes trying to give Amanda the benefit of the doubt but it never got better. A pop culture podcast hosted by someone who seems to know nothing about pop culture. I don’t get it. Maybe go in a different direction because the host seems uninterested and lacks any knowledge regarding the person being interviewed.
  • Ivryp
    Cancel
    Boring, generic, mean, awkward, racist. Needs to cancelled.
  • nm2670
    Love her
    She has some fun guests too
  • 💗💗C💗💗
    Woof
    Amanda can be so judgmental of her guests and certain things they say. It’s so awkward and shuts people down. Horrible interviewing.
  • Amira Quo
    Nope
    It is painful to listen to this podcast. She sounds annoyed to be there. I don’t know if the “careless” attitude is her trying to be cool or what but it’s not. She really shouldn’t do sensitive topic issues like the Drake Bell episode. It was horrible listening to it.
  • SharLud
    Good interviewer
    Sometimes on podcasts the person interviewing just ends up talking about themselves and we never find out anything about the guest. The host here is great at asking follow up questions and getting to more in depth topics!
  • Vitadolce23
    Can’t figure her out
    This is the third time I’ve tried to listen to this creator, and I can’t figure out if she even enjoys having reality Tv guests.. she sounds miserable the entire time and her questions feel like an attack on the guest in some moments. I listened for Brittany Cartwright and I usually love listening to her, this is my least favorite interview I’ve ever heard with her. Second star only because the Drake Bell episode was okay.
  • DesiraeDale
    Never miss a show!!!
    Amanda is like your sister from another mister! Her conversations flow so naturally and respectfully and yet she still asks all the questions we are all thinking about but too scared to ask!!! She’s authentic and some how brings that out of her guests too! Every time! 10/10 recommend!
  • dianna nicole
    Loved the Nico interview
    Your interviews fly by. You’re the best.
  • A new and satisfied user
    Like a convo with girlfriends
    Amanda is a very good interviewer. She has an ease with the guests that makes it feels like it’s a genuine conversation. Easy listening I recommend!
  • jujubeelove
    I don’t get it
    Firstly, Amanda’s voice is very annoying to me, I tried to get past it but have not found interest in her content. I just can’t get into her interviews, she whines a lot and it’s not in an endearing way like Jackie Schimmel. She’s not funny in my honest opinion. She lacks empathy, sounds bored and doesn’t bring anything to the table. She’s very blah
  • eldub07
    Fav podcast
    Seriously the best podcast. Amanda has a way of interviewing where the guest feel at ease and share so naturally. It never feels promotional it’s like 2 friends talking. And she gets the best guests.
  • Pvilly
    every episode is better than the last!
    i live for tuesdays and my commute to work to listen to the NSBNF pod! every single week i say "THIS is my favorite episode". seriously the best pod (not even just best pop culture pod---best best pod!) amanda is my girl. fo' life! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • mMo12!
    Yeah?
    I do not understand all these 5 star reviews - Amanda’s interview style is to ask a generic question, have the interviewee answer, and then respond with “yeah?” over and over again.
  • JG6401
    Love this podcast
    Love listening to Amanda and her guests
  • Podobsessedmom
    Easy listening with a side of satisfying gossip
    LOVE Amanda's pod! I look forward to it each new episode. She has a very relaxing interview style that I can appreciate, and makes the time fly by! She asks what we all are thinking, makes her guests feel comfortable, and makes the listener feel part of the cool clique. Although her genre is mostly pop voluptuary, I feel like she has a broad range of guests. Very, very entertaining show...give it a try-you'll enjoy being the fly on the wall for these convos!
  • SunnyGirl94
    New Listener, Im loving this pod 💕
    Just finished listening to your episode with Brittany. You asked every single question I think so many of us that love her wanted to know! Soooo good! Can’t wait to catch up on all the other episodes!
  • dani1892992
    Great interview with Brittany C
    Loved the pod with Brittany Cartwright !!! Such a wholesome convo and felt like a safe open place for her to share her story and let us all support her!!
  • MacBoy2011
    Stay away.
    Pretty awful. The host sounds bored. She asks dumb questions. The guests are carrying all of the weight here. How does she have this position? Who is she? Clearly not educated. Just the worst. Poor Drake Bell.
  • Jaime Slone
    Best podcaster
    Amanda is the best! I really feel like she is one of my friends. She is so personable, relatable and so funny! When she has a guest I really feel like I get to know them. She makes me interested in them even if I wasn’t before. She gets all the tea in a respectful manner and I love how open all the guests are. She has the best guests! I love how she shares everything with us. This is my favorite pod cast and I look forward to listening every Tuesday!
  • Mr.Fmolswald
    Love
    Amanda has seriously come in to her own lately. She is such a considerate host who handles the most delicate topics in a respectful way but, she still gets the info everyone wants. It’s been so great to witness her growth.
  • Winniesophwoo
    Great interviews
    I heard you on Hollywood raw and decided to take a listen. Have listened to the Jenna one and Alison one…loved them both. I like your friendly interview style with not just question after question…good conversation
  • Babyblujuliry
    Best guests, best questions!
    I am not a podcast girlie, but I listen to Amanda almost every week (I’m not a bachelor girlie either so I skip those). Amanda isn’t afraid to ask the questions WE ALL want answers to. Her interviews are conversations. Love her!!!!
  • bcv72110
    11/10 always
    This is my go-to podcast even when I don’t know the guest, but Amanda gets such great guests you usually know them well. Or you leave seeing another side of them that makes you like them even more. You can tell how comfortable all her guests are with her, she makes it feel like they’re old friends. Especially recently, she has shown she can do both tough conversations as well as lighthearted, hilarious pods with the same level of charisma and that’s why we love her so much
