kaitfishingSo good!!!Such a great concept, very well done. I listened to a different celebrity memoir podcast and they took everything so literally and seriously and it was soooooo boring. My girls keep it fun and interesting always and also are just so relatable and silly. Many years in and it is still my favorite podcast <3

PeachesClydeLove these womenThere is an amazing amount of research and information in every episode. Great podcasts. And I love the ad you took from the ACLU. Good for you!!!

CupcakeKitty022Part of the Weekly Podcast CircutI love this podcast!! It has made it into my weekly podcast circuit. I have two that I listen to religiously and this is one of them! I have others I try to keep up on but this is my favorite to listen to while I drive to work & upkeep work files. š«¶š»š«¶š» thank you for reading those memoirs so we can absorb the summarized info! š©·

MetallicutCould be much betterThere is potential since the hosts are not unintelligent, however itās painful to listen to Ashley āyes, andā her way through every entire episode as if sheās fighting for her life while Claire āno, MEās the whole way.

Ninjae11Fantastic!Iāve been listening to your podcast since the very beginning and your unapologetic snarkiness keeps me coming back every Tuesday! You two have pulled me through some dark times. Listening to your show finally made me laugh! What a blast it must be to read books, do research, and then hang out with your best friend to discuss it, press Record, and say whatever the heck you want āļøAS YOUR JOBāļø! As a Gen X Lit major, I stand in envious awe! Itās so fabulous that you guys are parlaying this so well! Iāve always meant to write after so many episodes but never did until today. Your Pope Francis episode was stellar! I love how open your generation is to standing up for peace and coming together for the good of all humankind. Thank you for your wonderful show. Good for you! -JMS

ktshanDelusional that weād be bestiesJust started listening and have blown through so many episodes - love all of it! Just the right amount of personal dialogue (also I did become a Patreon member so thereās more there which is also totally fine and great) and maybe itās because weāre all the same age I feel like Claire and Ashley are people Iād be friends with. Funny and thoughtful and giving empathy and grace while also offering snark when needed. 10/10.

CorporategirlienotbychoiceFavoritesI have learned about some ācelebritiesā that Iāve never heard of by listening to this podcast. These girls are hilarious and I appreciate their hard work reading the books so we donāt have to. Although their recent read of the Popeās memoir has inspired me to go read it. Thanks girlies!!

PodcastFanQueenJudgey Much?Someone recommended this podcast to me, and I listened to 2 episodes before I was like - this is unbearable. Itās 2025- arenāt we past sl*t shaming? And how you gonna call other women pick meās, when youāre the ultimate NLOG? game recognize game, so I guess it takes one to know one. Be better.

J-K-SYou read them so I donāt have toMakes sense and fun of ridiculous or boring memoirs. Who knew there were so many?
-
PottymouthbarbieIāve officially heard all the CMBC EpisodesAnd I can say itās 10/10 or a 5/5. Itās equal party yapping with the girls and thoughtful analysis of memoirs across the spectrum of fame.
-
starbuck_007Hateful hostHost extremely rude to Patreon customers who have a dissenting opinion or ask follow-up questions to statements made
-
beaglelover720The hosts with the mostIāve been listening to CMBC and a handful of other comedy podcasts since the pandemic and as things have gotten crazier in this world, CMBC has called attention to important humanitarian and social issues. They also almost always make me laugh!! Thank you ladies for the work you do

Sillygirl10101Long time listenerIāve been listening to CMBC on and off for a few years maybe less and have never had access to Apple Podcasts to leave a review until now. I rly wasnāt going to until I saw some of the idiotic reviews complaining about nonsense issues and Iām here to say this podcast is entertaining and funny. Donāt expect them to be experts on every celebrity bc they are comedians. If youāre going to complain abt their voices u might just hate women idk. I donāt agree with absolutely everything they say but you shouldnāt consume media expecting to completely align with everything you see. Itās entertainment and they do a good job!
-
oligies fanMy new favorite podcastI absolutely love this podcast! I love forward to it every week. It makes me feel like Iām an avid reader of memoirs without all the work. I love being a lil wormy!
-
ilovebug&milkSmart & funnyThis podcast is amazing and their Patreon is even better!
-
JubessubiIt's goodSo good that even the episodes summarizing the memoirs of minor/unknown celebs, or totally uninteresting people, are still so funny, and engaging.

IsfjkatieGrateful for this ShowI started listening to this podcast while I was on maternity leave. I think itās a brilliant concept for a podcast- thereās plenty of material to work with, thereās probably a celebrity you care about that they discuss, and you can jump in and out without needing to follow a narrative. Iām honestly so grateful to have this podcast while I took walks while pregnant, take care of my baby by myself during the day, and doing chores around the house. I was incredibly moved that they covered Diane Guerrero and chose such a timely book. I appreciate that they used their platform to highlight an issue that affects millions of people and has only accelerated in the past few months. I normally donāt bother leaving a review, but I had to show my appreciation for how they are using their platform.

A lil wormyLove it! ā¤ļøšFun stuff! Ashley brings the fire with great recs (Diabolical Lies is awesome!) and Claireā¦summos are good too. Keep up the good work!
-
LB4747They crack me up; Iām a convertWhen I first listened to Clair and Ashley it was when the podcast was almost brand new-I was a little put off; at the time I didnāt get their deadpan humor. I have started listening again, and they are so, so funny. I highly recommend listening. Clair and Ashley, I really appreciate you cheering me up during some dark political times!

Eniledam13#1 Bug FanThe Tori Spelling episodes are incredible. In fact, Iām going to go listen to them again now.

bonbonbon36Love it allIf, like me, your bestie lives far away and you need some good girl chat, this podcast scratches the itch of gabbing with your gals in a perfect way
-
elle witkoyou have fun listening. even more, you went them to be your friends.I discovered this duo through tik tok, then i heard, via the who? weekly patreon, good things, & gave this podcast a whirl. what a good decision! this pod is addicting. their smart, snappy, intuitive takes are so refreshing. after listening to their backlog I gladly subscribed to their patreon. iāve actually turned friends on to it who donāt care for celebrity news because these two talking about current events and media is worth the subscription, & iāve yet to be proven wrong! it feels like your cool sisters friend is talking, you donāt wanna miss a beat. in the best way; you just wanna hang on every word.

Peace Luv Save the whalesThe BESTMy fav podcast. The Patreon is even better. I wish I could have these two in my ears all the time.
-
Earth_2_MarsLanderUsed to be a huge fanThis podcast and Patreon used to be the highlight of my week but over the last 6 months or so Iāve found their ignorance more and more difficult to listen to.
-
NataloshhhCanāt get enough of CMBCI have been listening to this podcast for years (it is the only podcast I can truly say Iām loyal to), and it just never gets old. Claire and Ashley are so so funny and so smart and Iāve seen such an amazing development in their commentary which is so cool to experience. Canāt wait to see these gals live, I feel like they are already my friends (literally the closest experience Iāve had to a parasocial relationship haha). You have me loling when I least expect it. Celebrities better never stop writing memoirs please because I need this podcast!!!!!!!
-
DanifoofooHere for itThis podcast has everything Iāve been looking for: stories that distract me from the persistent horrors & two people I feel like Iād want to be friends with. Keep it going, Iām hooked.
-
EllenAndrewsKeeps getting betterThis podcast has always been great but Claire and Ashley just keep getting smarter and funnier through the years. Iām so proud of these two and what theyāve built.

AshFace6Like reading, but easier!I love the girlsā take on the good the bad and the ugly of memoirs.
-
MissPupMakes your tail wagMy favorite podcast! Interesting and funny, and very well balanced banter between friends. It really feels like youāre hanging with your favorite friendsā goofy but not dumb. Absolutely love hearing about the internal life of Bug, a Lady of Many Charms and Skills.
-
bcanfIāve been wrongI originally discovered them on TikTok after watching a clip that I disagreed with. So naturally I decided to āhate listenā to the whole episode. Turns out I was wrong. Iām obsessed with this podcast now and honestly grateful that I discovered them later in the game because now I have a whole backlog of episodes to binge.
-
purrlpConverted my husbandIāve been listening for years and at first my husband wasnāt into it but now he loves to listen too⦠at first he thought there were 4 hosts? Maybe because Claire and Ashley talk so fast? Idk but weāre big fans š So funny and relatable.
-
Girlboss21xMemoir reviews from hatersI wonder if these women have ever experienced joy in their life. Half the episodes are just bad/hater energy lol but whatever. Some are alright!

hellofresh14237733DisappointedThese girls hate a person who mentions ADHD. I like a lot of episodes but definitely hurtful the way they talk about adhd.

emannlFabMy favorite podcast. Iāve been listening for almost four years and have yet to get bored of it. Really good Patreon content as well!
-
G.G./good gameWahoo!What a delight
-
sam_rebelFun, Smart and sharpReally enjoying listening. I love the celebrity gossip and life stories, but honestly find most of these memoirs unreadable. Iād much rather listen to Claire and Ashley summarize and give their opinions. If you are looking for a podcast that fawns over its subject and is always positive, this is NOT for you. The hosts are not afraid to be critical and even snarky, which is fun and refreshing in my opinion!
