Five stars because I really do look forward to this podcast. But Becca’s attitude towards Olivia is getting worse and worse. She is very condescending to her and barely listens to her opinions. I don’t know if there is some lingering resentment or what, but Becca, please check your attitude!

It’s not funny? It’s puerile and prurient and just a total waste of time. And the anti-intellectualism has gotten out of hand.

I used to really enjoy listening to this uplifting and bookish podcast, but it has recently become quite problematic and unsettling for me to listen to. Becca’s condescending and unkind attitude towards Olivia is really off-putting and Olivia’s undertones of hatefulness and resentment towards Christians and those of different political leanings than her own is so saddening and confusing considering her apparent value on tolerance. This podcast just feels like cringe after cringe. I want the old BOP back!

I used to love this podcast, and I still love Olivia. But between Becca constantly taking over her, her recent argument that maybe we don’t need to teach English class in the same way anymore, and the interview with Chelsea Handler, I’m out.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and this one is in my top 3. I look so forward to the hosts banter each week because it comes off so genuine. They sort of seem like opposites - Olivia is super laid back and easy going whereas Becca seems like more the extroverted of the two, with less of a filter. There is literally not ever an episode where they don't make me laugh. They really seem to like each and respect one another and each gets equal airtime that seems to just come naturally, like two friends shooting the breeze. The combination is just perfection. Both are probably young enough to be my daughters (or me their very fun older aunt!) but I think their appeal goes out to women of all ages. They are just enough quirky to feel fresh and something different without being over the top or weird. Long live Bad on Paper.

The obscure erotica episode with the gnomes and the egg was absolutely hilarious and ridiculous in the best way hahaha

I want to second Olivia’s “Jesus Christ “ comment, this had me rolling and dying of laughter. On a day where I definitely needed something to lighten my mood this was 100% the thing to do it. This was absolutely hilarious. Absolutely love you two! Edited: love the the new duo! Grace will be missed but she isn’t far from our hearts or content ❤️ Missed my friends while you were taking a break. So glad to be able to listen to you banter back and forth over the serious and silly. Sometimes we just need a little bit of familiarity during these crazy COVID times, you bring the laughs and a bit of reprieve from it all. Thank you ❤️

I’ve listened to BOP for 5+ years now and I truly love the recs, three things and general banter. WITH THAT BEING SAID. The most recent obscure erotica was just too much. No more erotica / eggs from Becca plz.

I absolutely adore this podcast. I feel like Olivia and Becca are friends. They’re so fun and relatable and every single episode is so enjoyable. I have the same taste in books as Olivia. I look forward to this podcast every week!

This podcast used to be so good and now it’s okay. Olivia is great but I don’t know where becca is getting her feedback from when she says people liked the book rec episode of others just listing books or three things of just saying random disjointed things so just wanted to chime in and say I don’t enjoy those formats. I liked the old episodes soooo much! Becca also said that she doesn’t read reviews and I may understand that as an author but as a podcaster I think being open to feedback to improve is actually good quality. Also update - enough with being a “certified scardy cat” !!!!
