    Amanda Matta Great Guest
    Really enjoyed the ep on the British royals

    A joy
    I love the listen. Her takes and subject matter are refreshing

    Centering
    I mostly listen to this show when I feel kind of dumb because it makes me feel smarter.

    Hi Shannon šŸ‘‹
    Iā€™ve been listening for years and the evolution has been amusing to experience. The folks chosen as guests (particularly the snarkbait hosts ep & we met at acme in March ā€˜25) has me unfollowing. The conversations are not as fresh and Iā€™m bored by the other podcasts you seem to lump yourself in with. Iā€™ll pop back around and hope for the thought-provoking and messy (conspiracy!!) vibes to returnšŸ«¶
  • Urmom183763661929373663
    Was a long term listener. Ridiculous pro trans rant in latest episode made me unsubscribe
    Ridiculous. Men pretending to be women should be NOT allowed to play sports with biological girls and women because of the statistical facts of men having more testosterone and muscle. Men playing against women results in injuries & cruelty against real women.

    You lost your chance
    I was interested in this podcast. First time ever listening. I was turned off pretty much immediately by the pejorative comments about Taylor Swift and her fans. Be better.

    Podcast Ruined with Political Talk
    This used to be one of my favorite podcasts, Iā€™ve been a huge supporter of Shannon and subscribed to her Patreon. But she has let politics and an us vs. them mentality ruin her work. Especially on Patreon, she has released several shows that completely alienate anyone in her audience that is not extremely liberal. She has also started perpetuating Antisemitic rhetoric and thatā€™s when I knew I had to unsubscribe. I donā€™t know why she had to bring politics into a pop culture podcast but she has completely ruined her show and platform.

    Meh

    Shockingly unintelligent
    Some of the things the host says are so dumb itā€™s criminal. Im surprised this woman isnā€™t walking into walls on the reg. How cognitively incompetent do you have to be to actually enjoy this? Great voice though. Peddling that Baldoni is a predator and Blake is his victim narrative is so obtuse. In real world subordinates donā€™t get to lock up their boss in a basement by Dasani water cases or threaten to walk away using your husbandā€™s and best friendā€™s fame to bury their superior. So Blake acting like she survived SH is ridiculous. And why would Baldoni want to sabotage his own movie project heā€™s been working on for years, and destroy his relationship w a very famous and very powerful lead when thereā€™s more sequels and prequels to be made? Seems very short sighted for a man that took 5years to develop a movie. Does he not like success or money? Lol

    Getting ridiculous
    Iā€™m not even a Swifty and still find it troubling how often this girl brings up her hatred of Taylor Swift. Episode covering Jay-Z allegations? She of course brings up Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo TWICE before I turned it off. You are talking about a sexual assault case that has NOTHING to do with either of them, but my God she will find a way to bring up Taylor no matter the topic. We get it. You hate her. Move on.

    Dangerous misinformation
    Shannon has always leaned far right but never really wanted to own it. Most episodes I am at least once, if not several times googling something sheā€™s spewed as facts and able to find pretty quickly that itā€™s wrong through several resources. Itā€™s concerning that a quick fact check can prove her wrong so quickly when this is her entire job. Shannonā€™s conspiracy episodes are concerning, a lot of that is based on the fact she doesnā€™t understand or know basic history. Sheā€™s always clearly leaned pretty far right and it hits a sensitive nerve whenever sheā€™s called out for promoting qanon conspiracy theories (most recently pizza gate) because sheā€™s constantly complaining about being called a republican. She also is constantly giving advice on how celebrities should handle themselves after scandals when she recently was called out for donating money to the IDF and encouraging others to do so and has done none of what sheā€™s said celebrities should do šŸ’€ sadly itā€™s not surprising at all!

    Long time listener
    She has a way of making me intrigued about subjects Iā€™ve never thought about, shows I havenā€™t seen, and celebrities I havenā€™t even heard of. I will sometimes consider skipping an episode when one Iā€™m not familiar with pops up, but I am always glad I give listening a shot because Iā€™m fully invested in minutes. Of course, most episodes donā€™t fall into this category, otherwise I wouldnā€™t be here. All this to say, she just has a way with making everything interesting! I love how real she is, how open-minded she is, and how quick she is to own up to any mistakes she may make as a human. She /definitely is not/ far right or right-leaning at all, she is liberal-leaning and actually thinks for herself. Also, not sure where all these recent claims about her not doing research are coming from. She literally lives for researching topics that spike her interest. Further, just because she covers a conspiracy, does not mean she believes the conspiracy, which she makes a point to note in her episodes. This is an entertainment podcast, not a news source. Not sure how anybody can miss that memo! Anyways, love her and she is a gem!

    Must Listen!
    Iā€™m an OG listener and a patron member!! I was first introduced to Shannonā€˜s beautiful thoughts and opinions on TikTok and quickly realized I found my weekly stable!!! Her voice and unique, genuine honesty for living her authentic self will forever keep me as fan. I tell all my first and co workers about fluently forward but secretly enjoy theyā€™ve never heard it, YET! P.S Anyone leave a review less than 5 stars will be hexed for life!
  • Emmazingful
    Perfect mix of pop culture and practicality
    No matter the topic, Shannonā€™s voice is a soothing listen. I came for the inside scoops and speculations and am enjoying the practical tips even more! This is a great listen. Thank you.
  • JuliaEZ
    Huge fan
    I look forward to new episodes every week. Shannon is the only podcaster that has made me consider/plan on getting a Patreon account just so I can access more episodes. I love the way she organizes the show and the content she comes out with weekly. Keep the episodes cominā€™!
  • bloomies1289
    A shadow of its former self
    This podcast has been in a downward spiral over the past year. The host seems checked out and disinterested. She used to put a lot of work and effort into her old episodes, but now it seems like she barely does any research. There are too many incorrect facts and increasingly bizarre topics to make it worth my time.
  • Dogmomlife2024
    Boring!!
    If you wanna here someone talk non stop on things they sort of know about just go find a friend
  • jensal1997
    Quality had TANKED
    I also used to subscribe to Patreon! But I agree she has lost a ton of quality and spews nonsense. Super disappointing!
  • cmr92131
    Love!! Super Interesting!
    Shannon has the best podcast voice!! Love that I discovered this podcast. iā€™m always excited when a new one drops. Everything Shannon says is just so real and relatable and you can tell sheā€™s just a normal, curious human being. she does a great job researching her topics.
  • the fault is not in this book
    Iā€™m obsessed
    Long time listener and patreon subscriber. Fave creator for real. Thank you Shannon
  • kmbrlyg33
    I canā€™t explain my affinity
    Shannonā€™s voice + informative yet juice content = auricular crack.
  • avery sabine
    Fun, informative, and fabulous!
    love this show and it doesnā€™t hurt that itā€™s lowkey ASMR šŸ˜ŠThanks Shannon & team for all the hard work you put in for our entertainment
  • McAud
    Love
    I wish there were more podcast like this. Shannon is the absolute best. A million thanks for the burnout episode. It was right on time, and what I needed.
  • KimberALeigh
    Great episode butā€¦
    funny that Mint Mobile is one of your sponsors. Good on you that it doesnā€™t affect your view of Ryan Reynolds.
  • hckytwngurl
    Kielbasi????
    Shannon & Kelli ā€”you call yourselves Polish but call KIELBASA ā€” kielbasi?? Wtheck!! I seriously enjoy both of your podcast but you just dropped a notch due to that! Lol
  • Burnplant
    Another half informed podcast
    Just is like cliff notes on her podcast. If I know a topic, sheā€™s ill informed, if I donā€™t, I know Iā€™m only getting half the story
  • Kelizabeffer
    Political Talk
    Tired of all the political jabs and talk lately
  • TreeLaw
    Love it!
    Love listening to Shannon and her takes!!
  • missalthani
    Loved this podcast
    I know Shannon has to change it up. I used to be excited for a new ep, and you can talk about other things obvi. but itā€™s hard to pay attention because it feels all the same.
  • Tommee Boom
    Bad Girl Era ???
    Sorry ā€¦.a bad girl era without Madonna who created the lane for so many of the others on the list seemsā€¦..flawed ? I heard Selena Gomez šŸ‘€ but no mention of M or even someone like Minaj ? WHAT?
  • MsSassyPantz5
    Stefanny āœØ
    Love all the episodes but please ladies start a whole podcast šŸ¤©could have listened for hours!!
  • KelliLB714
    Love Shannon
    Shannon is always articulate, does research, and likes to have fun!! People who hate are boring
  • MartD123
    Can do without the news conspiracy takes
    Funny and smart podcast but itā€™s hard for me to get past her takes discrediting the news media. In an age of disinformation, it does more harm than good to sow mistrust in new outlets without being specific about which ones youā€™re talking about or suggest that something is part of a coverup without any insight into day to day news making decisions. Itā€™s fair to criticize the media, but this cover up conspiracy comes up in a lot of her podcasts.
  • DX10106
    The best!!!
    Obsessed with this pod and love all the different takes/guests/topics & Shannon as a host!
  • Aleigha917
    A podcast to get you through hard days
    Fluently Forward has quickly become one of my all time favorite podcasts. It takes some serious skills to create a podcast that would occupy my ADHD brain and the host does this effortlessly. Sheā€™s witty, realistic, and iconic. The random interesting topics and pop culture news captured in the pod always grab my attention and I love the different perspectives given. Shannon is relatable enough to keep my interest and make me feel less alone, but unique enough that her views and opinions are fresh and give me a new point of view. I recently lost my father to cancer and throughout that long journey I have really leaned on Fluently Forward to get my mind off of things and make me laugh. Highly recommend!
  • Marybethdoes
    Annoying
    I feel like you just make opinions that are contrary just to be contrary. I couldnā€™t even get through one episode. The tik tok takes donā€™t translate on podcasts.
  • jazzyfayy!
    Unfollowing
    Used to be a huge fan but her thought-pieces are not thought out at all. Saying women donā€™t look like theyā€™re smart? Constant tangentsā€¦. Much better with guests.
  • MyLoveCookies!!!
    Just Vibes for My Ears
    Do I care about pop culture? No. But I love her voice and the way sheā€™s articulates her thoughts. Best podcast when my ears need to be soothed and happy
  • Alya O

    Donating to the I D F ?? Literal mania.

    Such a fun listen
    I love Shannonā€™s vibe energy and most of all I appreciate that she stays true to herself with her merch and she really seems to work with brands she respects. Love love love!!

    Well researched and smart!
    Very funny calm and researched process - none of the assuming and feels more methodical than other celebrity gossip podcasts. Her voice is so soothing!
  • megggw
    This girl looks like sheā€™s in court
    In the cover photo lol. Doesnā€™t really describe the podcast
  • jayct
    Used to love this show
    Used to be a Patreon subscriber and a long time listener but I had to stop because the quality has tanked. The topics are the same but she clearly puts no effort into researching the subject before hitting record. It genuinely comes across like she just reads a few subreddits and thatā€™s it. Did Shannon just stop caring once she made this her gig full time? Also, the guests are insufferable to listen most of the time. Itā€™s disappointing because I will miss this show.
  • GrndpaGrace
    Used to LOVE this Pod
    Fluently Forward used to be the highlight of my work week! Before she quit her job and did the pod full time- Shannon was a delight! However, donating to the IDF, and Shannon not speaking up about Palestine has put a super bad taste in my mouthā€¦. Especially as she mentioned the ā€œjewbelongā€ org in one of her most recent episodes without highlighting how and why their billboards are truly a heinous blight on the eyes and morals as of late. Does being hot and blonde in Colorado turn women into conservatives? Help her! Give her that strawberry blonde at least so she can be moderate.
