Ringer Dish

I love Juliet from other pods so took a chance on this one. By no means would I call this a pop culture podcast, more so just eavesdropping on two people’s conversation. The annoying part though is that Amanda is such a contrarian. I don’t think she’s ever heard of the “yes, and” concept. She shuts down every bid Juliet makes or goes against it. It’s just so jarring how she affects the flow, or lack thereof, of the convo. I’ll probably keep listening as I wind down for bed but there really isn’t a ton of chemistry here.

I have supported this podcast since 2019. It has become increasingly more insufferable. Amanda, we are happy that the world has opened up to you and we don’t want to hear about your struggle with aging, your shameless shoutouts for spon con, whether it be Chanel accessories or Victoria Beckham cosmetics, your purchases on the RealReal, or your adolescent piercing of your ears. By the way, Most of us have kids and don’t need to hear about your experience. I love the RealReal, I just don’t bore my friends with it. Please return to being a pop culture podcast. That doesn’t mean researching what Dua Lipa or Taylor Swift was wearing. There are other things to talk about. Just trying to help. Juliet, I know you’re trying, but you are an enabler.

The content continues to lean more and more into motherhood, fashion and beauty. All from a lens of white entitlement (largely Amanda) Having a child is a choice and also a privilege and it’s exhausting to be reminded of that loss of experience in my life when I tune in to be distracted by pop culture. The best thing that happened to We’re Obsessed was their separation from this channel because every episode they upload proves their superiority as content creators. It’s a shame but this podcast is way past its prime

There are so many GREAT pop culture podcasts and I love the ringer content so I was excited for this. But this podcast is so bad! A rare misstep for the Ringer! The hosts have one job and that’s to keep up with pop culture and the amount of info they get wrong or have super bad / off takes is mind boggling, especially Juliet Lipman if you don’t like pop culture don’t be on a pop culture podcast!! Who gave these people a pop culture show. It’s insane like get on the internet. So my advice to anyone reading this — go listen to one of the many other great pop culture podcasts.

One talks louder and faster than the other. Amanda used to be listenable but now is the auditory pain is real And Juliet has changed her voice to match. It’s like they are hollering at one another over a fence
