    More True Crime Please!
    Really enjoying your dive into true crime. I hope you do more in this genre!
  • kellyjson
    Love love love
    I love Carly and Corey. They are so funny and always spot on with their viewpoints. I especially love Corey's impersonation of Ryan, “red for yes, blue for no.” It’s one of the few podcasts that make me truly LOL. I just wish they covered more shows! Keep up the great work, Carly and Corey!
  • Jess910
    Loooove this podcast
    I’ve stopped watching reality TV and I just listened to this podcast instead. All the time. They are so funny and so spot on with their analysis. I listen to them all day. True story.
  • Pdrost
    Pink for yes-blue for no
    Fantastic duo and Corey’s depiction of Ryan is the highlight of my week!
  • lindy luvs music
    Love these two!
    I love Carly & Corey’s takes on these shows. Their episodes have just the right amount of snark. I have cried & I have laughed out loud. I look forward to listening to their interactions every week. Thanks you two!
  • ntdwwira
    Enjoy the podcast
    I enjoy listening to this and their other podcast. I have to say I disagree with them for the first time though; I truly like the Baldwin show. I didn’t expect to like it but find it interesting and legitimately like Alec 🤷‍♀️. Hilaria is weird but kinda interesting.
  • iwantedthefamily
    Simply the best
    So glad you’re recapping Gypsy Rose!
  • RightMyBologna?
    That’s revenue baby!
    10/10. More Dr. Phil talking to Ryan please.
  • Rose of ny
    Great show!
    The hosts are charming and funny. The show is consistently great!
  • Cussin carol
    Big family big city
    Love both of your podcasts! Just discovered a new show I would love to hear y’all’s take on. “Big family, big family” former IBLP of 11 kids loving in Harlem, NYC.
  • nicolas's momo
    Love it!
    This couple make me happy!
  • justplainamy
    Awesome!
    Great podcast….one of my faves. Love to hear their take on Traitors and Plaths.
  • hey.stace
    Bagpipes worthy!
    Couldn’t follow this follow-up fast enough. 🙃 Continued success, Corey & Carly! Update: I’m not into Real Housewives or the Plaths, but catch every episode.
  • kkn0411
    Love them!
    Came for the sister wives and stayed for the other reality shows. Great, funny recaps!
  • CocoB74
    Fun podcast
    Listen every week! They make me laugh.
  • Nobodysquared
    Traitors
    Corey and Carly do a hilarious recap of Traitors! Do yourself a favor and subscribe!
  • mgreekchickie
    Great hosts, great recap!
    Such a fun recap! I laugh at y’all’s commentary!
  • AmySeeksTruth
    A delight
    You do a great Traitors recap and I don’t even watch.
  • Melismeg3499
    love the show
    great show !
  • Mom of twins plus 1
    I really do love these two
    I really do enjoy these two but the Lisa apologist is more than I can handle.
  • LizardPizard
    All five
    My only complaint is the Lisa apologizing. She is one of the most horrible people on television and probably in real life. Just trash. Other than that, love you guys!
  • Lolo13419
    Really great podcast!!
    I really like these podcast hosts!!
  • Cj2497

    New Fave Podcasters!
    Love you guys! Such a fun listen!
  • Annie TS
    Really appreciate this show
    Appreciate the way you have handled feedback about political ads, particularly given it wasn’t your fault. Thank you for the clarification and for putting out great, funny content.
  • pinotandgouda
    More! :)
    I loveeeee your show! I’m not a Plathville watcher so please keep adding more shows, the SLC and your sister wives recaps are my favs!
  • sanja4848
    always funny!

  • Cbuckw
    Thanks Baby Gorgeous!
    You guys are some of my favorite podcasters!!!
  • Dharmaamy
    Glad I found you
    Loving your astute takes and side splitting sense of humor
  • A Teacher in CA
    Fricking Hilarious.
    Corey! You’ve seen me take three steps up a ladder… I almost broke a ropes course… I sent a shockwave throughout the entire course when I jumped onto the cargo net… I couldn’t stop laughing. I LOVE listening to you two. Keep up the excellent work! All other podcasts cannot compare to you guys… you are the best, hands down!! You have come a long way since your first episode recap of sister wives and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the ride. Don’t ever stop. Btw, I’m LOVING the housewives recaps. THANK YOU! Kristin
  • Veggie023
    A favorite comfort listen
    I found Surviving Pod through their other podcast, Surviving Sisterwives, and am now a devoted listener of both. I probably enjoy listening to these podcast more than watching the actual shows — not an exaggeration.
  • Schelin1964
    Veronicca was lying
    Watch it again - when Barry n veronicca were talking he was saying Kim is a narcissist and veronicca shared her father was. Then she panicked and asked to record a clarification later. She says, “we were talking about Olivia”. That was a cover up.
  • nic.r.g.
    Made my week!
    I was just catching up on my surviving sister wives podcast, when I heard the best news that they are covering other reality shows! So thrilled to hear the news - it made my week!
  • JewelsOhio
    Great recaps
    One of my favorite recaps! So funny and great insight. Looking forward to Love Off The Grid someday!
  • Rochellie c
    One of my favorites!
    I love Carly and Corey!! Just the right amount of snark!
  • Sprklng
    Epic podcast!
    I love this new expanded world of episodes from Corey & Carly. Their Sister Wives podcast su my favorite, sand this is all of their excellent commentary, humor, and insights on a wider array of shows. Very excited for all the things they will cover as time goes on!
  • janiecf
    Every episode is a gem!
    Love the intelligent, clever, thorough, and comedic take on any show they critique. I don't skip an episode , even if I don't know the show they are talking about. They have been my favorite for years. Now they've added Plathville, and I hope they critique all the past years as well.
  • Ace Fanning
    Love them!
    Corey and Carly are awesome at what they do and I really appreciate them as podcasters and human beings! 🙌🏼
  • Sarah.Marie.9857
    Love love love this podcast!
    You are both hysterical! I look forward to this podcast every week. So glad you started with Welcome to Plathville!
  • Livalittle6
    The best!
    Carly & Corey are hilarious and I am so happy they expanded their snark/reality universe.
  • CTabode
    Love it!
    You guys are both so funny! Your podcasts are a great escape! Thank you!
  • triple3spresso
    Love it!!
    Corey and Carly have done it again!! Another great podcast recapping my fave trash shows! You guys rock!
  • Tiffanydam12
    The pod for saints and sinners
    No disclaimer that this podcast is inappropriate for Latter Day Saints or sinners, so it must be for everyone.
  • Eva_smileaday
    Don’t Miss Out!
    I have enjoyed their Surviving Sister Wives since the beginning and am thrilled to see them branch out. Always insightful, fun, and just the right amount of snark! If you like the shows, you’ll love Corey and Carly!
  • Brandie Bowman
    They’re a Big Dill
    I’ve been listening to C&C (not the music factory kind) on Surviving Sister Wives for years. So stoked to have more content from them.
  • Sarahntastic
    I will listen to these two talk about anything
    Love their recaps, quips, and clearly enjoy each other. Corey and Carly 4ever.
  • Boolalaa
    Super funny!
    Carly and Corey are hilarious! I can’t wait for more shows with them!
  • PennyLane78913
    Can’t go wrong…
    C&C deliver the kind of sass and snark that makes it feel like you’re talking $— with you best friends at the kitchen table about the show you just watched. They also sprinkle in just enough true heart to totally endear you to them and their takes on trashy reality TV and life. From Surviving Sister Wives to Surviving Reality you can’t go wrong with these two. Long time fan and Patreon member and I’m telling you, give it a listen, you’ll have a great time. Stop wasting time and hit play. Let’s get this pony in the water.
  • Elegance_Personified
    I love Cory and Carly!
    Pure entertainment and delight. 5/5!
