    Give the same respect you ask for
    I’ve hesitated writing this since last year when you recapped SLC. You’re generally so well spoken and I enjoy listening to your show, but please give respect to different lifestyles, religions, and cultures. You have asked the same of us who are not Jewish. You do not understand Mormonism and that’s fine, but commenting on the housewives of salt lake is where the hypocrisy creeps up. Judging Bronwyn’s marriage and other relationships with age gaps was very offensive. Unless you are in that marriage, religion, culture or whatever the case may be, please speak on it respectfully. I realize housewives put their lives out there to be judged but encompassing “all” relationships the same way or religions the same way is tough to listen to.

    😳 Sad 🥲
    Should have kept your politics out, Mandy.

    Wonderful show
    You are wonderful, smart, and bring on very interesting guests who are both plugged into the real and reality worlds. I also love when you talk about your family and heritage- it feels so familiar. Shanah tova! Keep up the great work. Very glad to have found you.

    She supports terrible men
    She claims to be kind and sees the good in every situation but the truth is, she only does that for the bad men on bravo. She hates Lindsay. But when it comes the terrible men, she is the biggest apologist and blames the bad behavior on alcohol. Yet refuses to see how a woman can have legitimate trauma and triggers. Her support for bad men is a trigger for me. I stopped listening for months, listened today, and she is still defending men. Her guest, a man had a lot more sense and called their behavior out for what it is. She was making excuses for shep!! Boo

    Must listen!!
    I LOVE Mandy’s recaps and hot takes on Al things Bravo! She’s smart, level-headed and has a great sense of humor. Lots of great guests too! One gripe/constructive criticism: she mispronounces Jennifer Pedranti’s last name. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. The R is after the D, not after the T!! Just trying to help a girl out! :) Love you, Mandy!

    I love this podcast and it’s the first thing I look for on Sundays. Mandy has such a soothing voice and rarely says anything bad about anyone and if she does, they deserve it

    Great podcast
    Thank you Mandy.

    Fuda Forgiveness
    Imagine the trauma of turning on the TV and seeing John Fuda, the person who tied you up as a 20 year old man during a drug fueled home invasion. As you advocate for Fuda, it might be good to remember how traumatized his victims must feel when people like you think it’s all in the past now.

    Love!
    Love Mandy and her intellectual takes on these crazy bravo shows we all love. I love that she sprinkles in pieces from her personal life and her job that I find fascinating. Also LOVE when her dad makes an appearance on the pod.

    Get off your high horse
    You are such a know it all. Get off your high horse and start listening to your guests. You are not a doctor or a mom and you need to stop giving your unsolicited opinions.

    Brava
    I look forward to my Sunday mornings because I can listen to a new ‘Is This Real Life’. I can relate to Mandy’s perspective on so many levels from being from a family who immigrated to America from Ukraine, to being Jewish, & that we both advocate to improve people’s lives in our jobs. I like that Mandy relates our favorite shows to her own life & her listener’s lives & what is happening in the real world. Her guests are also fantastic bringing their unique intelligent perspectives to these shows.

    I used to enjoy…
    I used to enjoy this podcast but I find her lecturing really annoying. I like when she sticks to the episodes but the constant “we shouldn’t do this or that…” is patronizing. I’m an adult and I know right from wrong. I don’t need to be lectured every Sunday.
  • akhartwig
    Lovely
    I enjoy the intellectual take and Mandy’s gentle voice ☺️
  • MelyMel80
    Medically misinformed
    I used to love listening as it’s one of the only bravo podcasts that’s released on Sundays , but lately it’s getting harder and harder to get through . I can’t stand when she goes on about the medical community . She might work within the system but not at the clinical level . Because of this she comes across very pro physician and spews out very biased opinions .
  • PNWBravogirl
    A Must Listen for Bravo Fans!
    *Update* Mandy continues to deliver a podcast that is a must listen! You feel like you are chatting about all your favorite shows with friends. 🌸 I eagerly look forward to this podcast each week. Mandy interviews a variety of guests with diverse backgrounds and the topics are always interesting. Thank you, Mandy, for making 2020 better. Happy New Year!

  • Cabrita
    Today is my favorite episode!
    Today’s episode is a must-listen for anyone who has had a problematic relationship with alcohol/drugs/other addiction or who has had a friend or family member with the same! In other words: EVERYONE! Love you and I gotta get back to my brisket.
  • jamz613
    A relaxing pod!!
    Ok, so it’s not the first thing you think of when listening to a podcast but I find Mandy’s voice and delivery so relaxing! So many pods are filled with people hyping up their voices and talking over each other. Mandy’s interview style is so relaxed and informative. Mandy seems smart and relatable and it’s always a fun listen!
  • Harryhoodsssssszzs
    Uninformed information
    You had a lot of wrong facts in this podcast. Caroline Manzo never took a hit out on her sister or participated in it. Also, if you would taken the time to read any part of the legal documents regarding the lawsuit you would never have said that she was doing this for PR. That is a gross statement. PS not some huge Caroline fan but to listen to somebody give totally inaccurate uninformed information is just infuriating.
  • Nick92289
    Love Mandy, but not her recent guest
    Oh. My. God. The last guest she had on: Louis Staples…dominated the ENTIRE episode. He talked so much, I literally had to turn the episode off. So grating 😭 I really like Mandy’s takes, especially on her own, but pleeeease don’t have monologuing guests like Louis on again. Terrible.
  • RHD_
    Looove her!!
    Love her insightful interviews & soothing tone.
  • Howdy Hay!
    Great content!
    I discovered Mandy after she was on the She Speaks Bravo podcast, and I was so intrigued by her takes, and how she very easily explained political jargon. I’ve enjoyed listening to her own podcast every since!
  • pita's other half
    Not happy
    Episode on 12/3 guest forgot something and referred to having MS brain. Wrong thing to say!
  • heatherrayy
    Omg I’m sorry!
    Omg I’m so sorry I just wrote a nasty review that was meant to go to two t’s in a pod…I’m sorry!! I love this podcast!!
  • Sad exsubscriber
    Too judgmental
    I do not believe it is appropriate for anyone who has not had children and/or lived with minor children regularly to publicly negatively judge another family’s child rearing. Especially as emphatically as Mandy does. I’d appreciated Mandy’s measured perspective of cast behavior illustrated in episodes but do not believe she should make blanket statements related to child rearing without first hand knowledge of individuals and supporting circumstances. I will say; podcast is fun for drinking game every time Mandy says “right” after she makes an opinion based comment.
  • Coco Nola
    Mandy’s the best
    I love that she (along with a guest usually) really explores the psychology of our favorite reality shows. A great listen, and Mandy has a very calming voice. She’s also measured and thoughtful, and even not afraid to admit if she’s misjudged something or jumped to a conclusion. Highly intelligent bravo psychology! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Off-gassing awareness 🍋
    Mandy is so fun and insightful. I look forward to her pod every Sunday. Also just a general PSA if you don’t like a podcast (or anything for that matter) keep it moving, don’t yuck my yum!!!
  • Cherjohn89
    “Like”
    Hard to listen and enjoy the podcast when every other word by the guest is “like”.
  • xoBtyc
    Politics of housewives?
    If you want to be a CNN anchor you should audition. I thought this was a housewives podcast
