Best of the best

Sharon continuously provides the best interviews! They’re always engaging and her guests are always top tier. And all star interviewer and one of my absolute favorite Big Brother podcasts.
Samuel_Bishop

Sharon is Queen of Reality TV

I’ve adored Sharon for a while now, easily my favorite when it comes to Big Brother content. She has thoughtful questions and a chill vibe. 5/5

Spoilers

I really like this podcast but please give some time for us to pause or rewind when there is a spoiler. I was just listening to your Exit Interview with Brooklyn and you said “spoiler alert” and then right after that said who won HOH for the week. I’m a “casual viewer” of BB and don’t watch the lives so would be nice not to be spoiled from an interview I had no expections that there would be spoilers/“live talk”. If I would have known prior, I wouldn’t have listened. Thank you! 😊
you are all trippin

Stop spoiling with headline

Really good interviews but you spoil it when you put the name of the evicted houseguest in the title of the podcast— we often have to catch up the next day and the other interviewers don’t put the name as the lead title-makes me not want to follow so I don’t get spoiled

👍🏻

Amazing

Excellent podcast!! Great content and coverage of Big Brother! Thank you and keep them coming!
Palekana

Upgrade your audio please

It’s very hard to hear you and your guest clearly.
agon targarian

No more spoilers please!

Love the podcast but please stop putting episode spoilers in the podcast titles! Especially annoying when the podcast drops before we can even watch the episode or the eliminated player’s name is listed for the exit interview!
Add me jennnnb

Great Guests!

Love the podcast, great content and great guests. Only complaint is the audio of your guests and your audio are different volumes, which is hard to listen to.
dancerrb22

Mic Volumes

Loved Shannons’s previous coverage and so happy she has her own podcast for long-form content! My only complaint is the mic imbalances. Shannon is usually really quiet and her guests are way louder so I can’t listen with headphones - ouch!
KayEmKay1987

Makes fun of Christianity

I don’t know if Sharon is just trying to be with the “In crowd” on twitter, but seeing her laugh and report on Julie’s christianity only to make fun of it is gross. Grow up!
hallie burke

Be careful with the ‘you know’s

Great podcast! In your week 2 BB25 episode, you said ‘you know’ over 40 times. I know it’s nitpicky but you are nearly losing me as a listener. Please pay attention to this!
kzaman15

Elite Podcast

Sharon is incredible. You know how people will watch a movie and say the book was better? I watch big brother and tell people that this podcast is better. She has transcended the show itself
Narsys

Mother is here.

Excellent Big Brother content and coverage. Sharon is reputable, trusted, & armed with legit sources and access to bring all of the BB tea. ☕️ 🫖
itsmewhatup

Best interviewer!

Sharon is the most respectful and knowledgeable interviewer out there, and she’s also fun and asks the questions people actually care about! She always has the best insider scoop and access to all the reality stars too. The podcast is a must-listen!

The place to go

The words Big Brother immediately make me think of Sharon Tharp. This season will be next level with her pod !!
TCLibrarian

Wish Came True!

Last year I told Sharon she should do a podcast because she's so passionate about BB & she's the best interviewer out there. I'm excited to watch season #25 with this podcast.
Salpal8
