    Incredible
    This is, without a doubt, one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to. Can’t wait for more!
  • aakshe
    WOWWW, such good storytellinggg!!
    I think Normal Gossip has proven that we love gossipppp. As a fan of that show it was so easy to get hooked on this. This show feels like the gossip-version of Beefs and petty rivalry and ofc Bridget’s presence is amazing and the stories this season covered were so fun to listen to. As an older sister who is very close to her younger sister I especially loved the first episode. I hope there will be a second season!! <3
  • Andreea94
    So fun!
    Bridget is an AMAZING host, of course. And the stories with all the pettiness are so entertaining. It’s at another level from a regular gossip show and teaches me something new every episode.
  • Akela263
    My new favorite podcast
    Really good. Enjoying the pettiness.
  • freedomdaddy
    Exactly what we wanted
    This show is fun and informative and so far not super challenging. It’s kindof like taking a stress free vacation from Bridget’s other podcasts, which are amazing shows and very important and host necessary discussions about the troubled world we live in but sometimes I just want to hear JCVD making fun of how Steven Segal walks.
  • Susanjt
    Great look back at historical rivalries
    Really love this new podcast by Bridget Todd. Everything she does is wonderful and I seek out her content. This podcast discusses historical rivalries and explores them in fun and interesting ways. I learned new things about these rivalries and the people that were a part of them. Thanks Bridget!

    What’s Beef?
    Beef is when I see you… Guaranteed to be in ICU… So far, both episodes are wild… I always thought that violent ‘beef’ in the music industry was unique to hip hop - it’s not. James Brown vs Joe Tex is a crazy episode. And I never knew the story of Dear Abby and her identical twin sister Ann Landers. Excellent production, the content is well written, and Bridget Todd is a great host.
  • LBS301
    Terrrific!!
    This is a wonderful podcast. The host is a smart and thorough researcher and is bringing fascinating “beefs” to our attention that I for one never heard about or if I had, she adds the the kind of details and perspective in a bigger picture that make it interesting and very informative. She is awesome!

    My friend Andreea called this show “Normal Gossip but about smarter stuff” (or something) and that is a pretty good description. Love love love! Love Bridget, this is fun, Dan Savage was a cool first guest.
  • Anderson SC 01
