Scripted 2.0
Someone previously reviewed saying the phone calls are scripted, and I agree, but also want to note how obvious it is that the ‘listener emails’ are also written by someone in house. The writing style is the same everytime and never have I ever heard the word ‘HOWEVER’ used so often. Never once is ‘but’ or ‘although’ used as a transition in the emails. One of the hosts uses ‘however’ often so it’s a little obvious that the emails are coming from them.

App used to be better
I use the app every morning when getting ready since I don’t live in an area that plays The Bert Show. It used to be a really good app. Now I get way too many ads. The ads are not part of the show, it’s like they are paid ads from the app based on your location. I will be listening to ads for five minutes before I realize the show is probably on by now. So I have to exit the app and reopen and sure enough the are in the middle of a segment.

Too many ads
I love this show and listen in the mornings when I'm getting ready for work. I'm not in Atlanta so I've tried listening on iHeartRadio, this app and the Q99.7 app and out of the hour it takes me to get ready, more than half the time is spent on ads. And I know they're not the actual radio ads because they're local to me. And the ads are the same across all the streaming platforms which makes me think it's one source. I'd prefer to listen live and not a day behind with the podcast.

Real. Disappointing.
I listened to this show daily for years. I’d honestly feel incomplete if I went a day without it. I loved it! But, I feel the show has lost so much authenticity. Davi was let go and everything just… changed. I felt like these people who were open and honest about everything were suddenly lying. As it turns out, they absolutely were. I’ve listened to hosts come and go on this show. The problem isn’t about favoring one host over another or needlessly blasting the show because I’m mad about a decision… it’s being lied to. Bert said Davi wasn’t the problem and then went on a twitter rant about how Davi was the problem. If you had just been forthcoming from the beginning, none of us would have raised an eyebrow. But you lied, bent the truth, and created a false narrative. We listened to you because we could hear the show and feel like you were our friends, that you were being truthful and honest. Now, the content seems superficial and crafted. I get it- there’s only so much going on in your personal lives to talk about. But it’s been glaringly obvious that the show is just grasping at straws now because facing the truth seems too daunting. As listeners, we put our trust in you because you claimed to be real. We trusted you, and you’ve deceived us.

The show seems forced.
I’m not gonna lie, not happy that D was let go. But before stuff started coming out I tried to continue to listen.. and since then one or two segments have popped up in my newsfeed.. regardless of your feelings about the “event” (gross in my opinion but again… regardless).. this show has become SO stale and forced. Like I know you guys are busy trying to silence people but that “chemistry” you care so much about is literally crumbling. People who used to be P1s like me haven’t even WANTED to listen you for months because of how stale it’s gotten.

Great way to spend the morning
Completely entertaining!
Ignore the RECENT bad reviews…
These new recent reviews (even the ones talking about the app crashing…) are all because Davi was let go. That’s ALL those reviews are. The one let go was funny and sometimes ‘great’ but let’s be honest, tried too hard to be ‘woke’ and would never even try to see anyone with a differing opinion’s side. Ever. I’ve listened since 2015 and at first she was funny and quirky, then just completely negative and toxic. The rest of the cast is amazing, Cassie and Tommy are actually my faves. Ignore the recent fake reviews and enjoy listening to an amazing radio show/podcast throughout your day.

Real, hilarious
Don’t listen to the haters, it’s a great show. People are just on the hate train because somebody was unfortunately fired, that’s how life works. Try them out yourself, to me they are hilarious.
Show lacks authenticity
I listened since the early 2000s and have followed the show through many cast changes. Last few years some on-air talent have been lacking. New fresh hosts helped to make the show relatable and funny. Unfortunately it seems the least relatable on-air talent are the ones that are kept the longest and the most relatable are consistently leaving.

Cannot view recorded segments in a bigger screen
The home page listing the recorded segments is limited in how you’re able to view the segments. You can only view a sliver of the list in between a picture with the play button (to listen live) and the play button for the last segment you selected. There is no way to expand the list of recorded segments so you can see more than the sliver.
