hallie batchelder extra dirty podcast flopping
i think the extra dirty podcast flopped so fast and i wanna discuss. (i wanna post this on influencer snark b/c more traction but i don’t use reddit much so don't have the clout to post there)
I liked the podcast, mostly the first few episodes, and I find Hallie and her lifestyle sooo entertaining. here’s a list of reasons i think it’s going bad and sadly losing me as a listener.
Too much too soon- she spilled all her craziest stories in the first few episodes + her debut ep on CHD. She could have dragged those crazy stories for like 5 episodes. giving us the memorial wkend bj story, boob job paid for, and the party at her parents house story all in one episode sets a high standard of tea spilled per episode that she couldn’t maintain.
The og eps w Grayson and Lauren were the best! Their vibe as a friend group is something worth following (i’m a sucker for friendship based entertainment). Who tf cares about the guest she has now.
I was excited for her fam on the pod- their tiktok’s together are so fun. Everyone but her dad’s ep flopped. no tea, nothing crazy, & played it so safe which isn’t the brand on this pod. I could see them getting a reality show on nantucket but im not sure the family would be entertaining in long term content. Also after watching the unwell games idk if this network could pull it off anyways.
Her trying to go wholesome now is so random?? we want party stories, nyc nightlife, dating stories. I wanted her and her friends to go out then record the pod as a morning debrief. She could have done this “brand safe” attempt in a better way- like “Hannah and Paige try new things” vids on yt in addition to their pod. I would watch that- especially with her a Grayson, even better if they’re hungover for some of it.
just wanna discuss/ hear other‘s thoughts.
