    Psychic source
    I’ve always loved David & his straight shooting, funny, original & unapologetic podcast but I’m really loving his new psychic source segments! Happy holidays David!
  • PWade03
    Completely misleading podcast titles
    He never actually touches on anything he claims he’s going to, total fraud!

    Can’t anymore
    It just gets worse and worse. I’ve tried to hang on, but can’t anymore. You come off as thinking you’re a celebrity…which would be fine, but “real” celebrities don’t act as pompous as you do

    David 🥇
    My Absolute Favorite Podcast!! I’ve listened since day one. Never disappoints. David has all the latest tea on all things Bravo. A must listen.

    Behind the Velvet Rope
    David just wants to hear himself talk and loves to brag about himself. Just curious why all these housewives he is supposedly friends with why don’t they follow him on social.

    Disappointed
    David I’ve always enjoyed listening to you. I even paid for your patron. But after a while it was the same stuff. You started to have like this I don’t care if you like me or not attitude, and you were constantly telling people that. For me that’s a big turn off, because you are not better than anyone else. Then you actually believed everything that wacky people said. She’s a narcissist, with multiple personalities. Wish you luck but I’m out

    A Must-Listen for Pop Culture Enthusiasts!
    As a good friend of David Yontef, I can confidently say that “Behind the Velvet Rope” is a gem in the world of podcasts. David’s relaxed and friendly interview style makes every episode a delight to listen to. He has a unique ability to ask the pressing questions we all want answered, whether he’s chatting with Real Housewives, musicians, comedians, or reality stars. David’s dedication to bringing fresh content daily is truly impressive. The variety of guests and the depth of conversations keep me coming back for more. It’s no wonder this podcast has been recognized by so many major publications and ranked as the #1 Real Housewives/Reality TV podcast by BuzzFeed. If you’re a fan of pop culture and reality TV, this podcast is a must-listen. David’s insights and the behind-the-scenes stories he uncovers are both entertaining and enlightening. Highly recommend!

    Long time fan!
    I have been listening since the beginning and I love the David solo’s and David interviews, but I also love the David Sara twice-weekly co hosted eps! Seriously? These two are so great together- a modern day Regis and Kelly. Love the way they can disagree on takes and be respectful, and I also love the humor these two have without even intending to be funny. I will cackle every time Sara says with sass “Ms. Yontef…” 😂. This show is my escapism and has genuinely helped my mental health improve over the years. 💜

    MAKE AMERICA DAVID ALWAYS!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
    It’s a new day & a new dawn!! Finally a podcast with a host who’s not afraid speak his mind!!! Haters are gonna hate but I will never stop listening!!!!
  • BKKeefe
    Hilarious
    I found David from my girl Sarah. The banter between them is great and always a good laugh.
  • LaPiglett
    PHONY
    There is literally no behinds the scenes here. This is just another recap / opinion podcast. Someone pretending to be in the know when they know nothing other than what we all know because we see it in TV.
  • hbf952914
    Giving try hard
    I tried to give this podcast a listen but David gives such try hard energy. It’s weird. He thinks he is way bigger of a celebrity than he is. If you want a funny podcast - Listen to Danny Pellegrino or Watch What Crappens
  • Lindyzday
    Stay away from fashion
    The fashion convo was bad, Shannon the best!! Ugh it was the worst. Also, your beef with Heather is stupid. Don’t take yourself so seriously. You’re not that important. I don’t think she meant any shade.
  • Mvcghjb
    Gabriella is a psychopath
    Putting this nutcase continuously on the show makes you look like one too. Her obsession with Teresa & Jennifer is nothing short of pathetic and creepy.
  • Daniellevictorias
    Must-Listen for Pop Culture Lovers and Reality TV Obsessed!
    David’s podcast is an absolute gem for anyone obsessed with the behind-the-scenes of reality TV, celebrity gossip, and pop culture. His insider access, honest takes, and deep-dive interviews with reality stars, celebrities, icons and industry experts are unmatched. His conversational style makes you feel like you’re sitting in on a juicy, unfiltered chat with your favorite Bravo stars. Whether it’s spilling tea or tackling tough questions, this podcast never disappoints. If you’re not listening yet, you’re missing out! Love my daily dose of David!
  • PRC192022
    No longer has the reputation he once did. Clickbait Podcast with no knowledge
    That Melissa old nose girl is giving me obsessive weird person. it was so hard to listen to an episode with her and I just stopped listening. U have a new person with you hosting and it never works out but I still give you a chance. This Melissa old nose makes me uncomfortable and she took away your professionalism. You are desperate at this point and no longer have the reputation you once did. I listened to you from the beginning and missed you were funny. At least Sarah is likable but the Melissa old nose is a nobody = not a fun listen. Good luck
  • alexisbenford
    “Quick hits” are just ads
    Love this show but these “quick hits” are 15 mins long. 12 minutes are ads lol no joke… I mean, get your bag but ……
  • gabbbbbby
    Hard listen
    David is insufferable but even worse is co-host Sarah Fraser. They both think they’re just oh so great. Very hard to listen to.
  • Adam"**"
    David Is On Fire
    Not sure what has lit a fire under this ones a, but David is on FIRE and I am here for it. Love the recent hot takes and real dirt on Patreon. Hope you and Melissa’s Nose really do BH recaps cause that would be my fav combo but love you and Sarah too. Please more of Old Nose.
  • bigee reviewee
    Boring
    Boring and awful audio quality
  • MiMi Chisato
    David is a BULLY
    Love catty, fun, gossip but David is just an unfunny mean girl. Not original, not funny, not a good listen. There are so many better bravo podcasts out there, don’t waste your time!
  • amandaa1981
    High School Mean Girl Vibes
    I tried but I just can’t. He tries desperately to fit in with the housewives and treats others flippantly- as if their opinions aren’t as important as his due to his “social standing”. I love the Housewives but the desperation is too strong with this one and he takes himself too seriously about his connections. If he laughed at the absurdity of it, he would be much more palatable.

    Wanted to like it
    I wanted to like it as it seems the host has some ins in the bravo world but I cannot get past his lack of charisma or hosting ability.
  • Tuytviyygiyyuyjutyh
    Obnoxious
    Seems like he doesn’t pay attention. Like he’s texting while recording. Boring.
  • Creepycait
    Low level
    This guys is trying way too hard
  • Vanaramalife
    Scam show
    This show has become one big commercial for his Patreon. There’s no info, there’s no opinion, it’s gone downhill.
  • IrishAngel0384
    Too Dramatic
    I’m not sure how someone saying “welcome to our city, sorry about the rain” is a threat, pretty dramatic.
  • katyloushaw
    Yikes
    That was a struggle to get through…needless to say I couldn’t.

    BORING

    Snooze
    Sound desperate to make friends with housewives. Just boring, repetitive conversation
  • Podcast reviewer 13
    Loser
    David Yontef lacks the charm and poise and talent needed to host a podcast. I’ve never been more turned off by a host. And the guest list is abysmal.

    Insomnia Cure
    This is so boring. It will help you fall asleep.
  • MV4AR
    Reality Perfection
    David Yontef is a gem. He is like an old fashioned gossip columnist in the best way. His style is unique and he moves things along, covering so many pop culture and reality characters. My favorite podcast, I especially love David and Sarah and the solo Quick Bits.
  • Sammy Quintana
    You and Sarah
    Love you two together!! Been to every live show. You guys are such a bright spot in my day 💜💜💜
  • Winterfuzz55
    One episode in
    And host rambled FOREVER. Says same things over and over. Says same things over and over. And over.
  • r_connolly
    Nope
    Hard pass on this pod. David sure is something.
  • cassmjackson
    No thanks
    I tried to like it because I’m a Bravo girlie but it’s not for me.
  • Kat@33
    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
    Really enjoy David’s honest take HW shows and pop culture.
  • Jj jelled
    Pass.
    First time listen today. The host frequently seemed out of it as he repeated himself, had long pauses, and overall seemed preoccupied. Not sure if this is just his style but I think I’ll pass.
  • Zombiluvr
    Replays
    Whats with the constant replaying of old shows and 5 minute “new” episides. Lazy way to run a podcast/business. I was a fan for about a month but can’t do it anymore.
  • Contessa_S
    LBB trolling disgusting wannabe that will never be
    Eww ick yuck gross. Don’t even bother. He offers nothing but idle gossip and click bait style ridiculous opinions with no REAL truth or receipts. And the horrible whiney overly nasal voice and money bragging is beyond. There is nothing likeable once you peel back the layers. I wanted to like him but just ick yuck gross 🤢
  • jmt4calero
    Just Skip It
    The terrible audio, obnoxious ads that are way too frequent, and the positively torturous cacophony that is David Yontef’s voice combine to create a sensory nightmare that probably violates the Geneva Conventions.
  • JamieA123
    My favorite reality tv podcast! But...
    I anxiously wait for each new podcast. You're so entertaining and I love your take on it all. I do struggle with your audio. It's often hard to hear if I'm wearing earbuds and guests are sometimes impossible to hear if using them. But I just love your content.
  • French Toast62
    Your show is so BORING!
    You are so pompous and full of yourself. Look in the mirror and get back to reality.
  • NatCOmom
    Ads are out of control
    There are way too many ads and they happen way too often.
  • buzz•buzz
    Ads
    Let’s be honest, the ads are excessive. I download selectively because I can’t just let it play and have to FF through 6-8 minutes of ads.
  • roseabides
    David and Sarah
    The patron saints of pop culture! I always look forward to listening to their deep dives.
  • CCROW313

    Love you and your podcast but way to many adds. Very annoying!!
