Kalen complains about stereotypes and racism but then goes on and makes negative generalizations about other races. It’s counter productive to mending race relations. Love Ricki but can’t stand that his racist rants are sponsored and included in the episodes.

Great show, but can you please put your most recent episode first in your line up each week? I’ve stopped listening because it takes too much time to scroll down through the entire catalog to find the most recent episode. ♥️

It’s been decades and she hasn’t lost that magic touch. Ricki is curious, sincere, and intelligent. I’ve been seeking a new podcast to get into and this is the one I’ve settled on listening to from beginning to end over the coming weeks.

This is my high school and college years era ! Ricki was always a show I watched everyday! The Nostalgia of the 90s is so unshakable brings back happy tears to my eyes! I will always support Ricki! Go Ricki!Go Ricki! Go Ricki! Love you Ricki Lake

I would love to hear you interview Paul and Sasha from "community News with Paul and Sasha" who were producing Carnie Wilson, Richard Bey and other day time talk shows when you were making yours and they seem to know half your staffs. It would be great to hear you all and some of your...Read full review »

Thank you for this podcast Ricki and Kalen! It’s very entertaining, thoughtful, educational and it feels like we’re all hanging out having a good time reminiscing about your TV show. I used to watch everyday after school back then, it was so much fun!!

Kalen and Ricki keeping me cracking up while working. Love the nostalgia and hilarious banter.

I loved the Ricki Lake show when I was a kid, coming home from elementary school. I just couldn’t get enough of her and found all of her movies (absolutely loved Cry-Baby) and now this podcast. I love how her career has grown and listening to her every week is like spending time with the big...Read full review »

Why does Kalen have to talk in the “black gay voice” all the time? So far the show has had a gay guest on each episode. I see the trend…. I held on as long as I could just unfollowed after Ross Matthew show. The gays have hijacked the Ricki Lake show. I might check back in a few months or so to...Read full review »

I’m a Gen-Xer who graduated from high school in the late 90’s; so I was definitely “raised by Ricki”! This is not only a great nostalgia trip, but also a way to reflect on how times have changed (for better and for worse). As a gay kid growing up in rural Texas, this show was definitely one of...Read full review »

Love you two and I’m enjoying going back a hearing all of this. I was working a lot during this time and could only watch once a week so this is great. Kalen Allen I love you! I’m so happy to see you grow and prosper as you are. Ricki I have always thought you were great. I’m thrilled at how...Read full review »

I never missed the Ricki Lake show both the old and new versions. I have been a fan of hers since Hairspray. I would come home turn on her show and felt like I was hanging out with a cool sister. So when I found this podcast I wasn’t disappointed it was like being reunited with a sibling that...Read full review »

I’m 23 and didn’t really know who Ricki Lake was before listening to this. I knew her name, but didn’t even know she had a talk show. I knew she was in Hairspray, and I feel like I remember her from a couple dieting commercials from my childhood. I love the chemistry between Ricki and Kalen....Read full review »

I LOVE this podcast! I can’t stop listening.
Mommywilliam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/23
I absolutely LOVE Ricki!! I wasn’t raised by Ricki (25 years old) but I found her in my teens and have been a fan since! Kalen is hilarious and the perfect cohost! I’m so excited to binge the episodes that are already out!
picklesgingy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/23
So happy to have some more Ricki back in my life !!!
KristenGrace 22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/22
Ricki should be doing this by herself. Let her talk about her life, her show, etc. Kalen adds nothing of value. His over the top affected “I’m a gay black person therefore I should be heard” attitude is a waste of time. This would be a fantastic 90s nostalgia show without his pointless babbling.
Zorlio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/22
The interview with Sally Jessy Raphael was FIRE. 😂 More Sally!! Ricki, your voice is comforting, and it’s a gift to listen to you. Kalen, you won me over this episode. Your voice during the interview with Sally and after was YOU. Hope you keep that authentic vibe going!
A56309 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/22
I LOVE this podcast!! I was one of those young people raised by Ricki, and it is such a trip down memory lane. The conversation is laid back and welcoming. I wasnt’ sure if I would like Kalen, but he is a nice addition for sure, and offers a different generational perspective. It was an...Read full review »

First episode was waste of listening.

I love her from the 90’s and still do now I hope she would come back to tv I would love that
blinkred via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
I love Ricki, and also love Rosie. Why in the world was that interview so short? Was it even 25 minutes when you take out the intro and the chat time between the hosts afterwards? I just heard Rosie being interviewed on another podcast that was easily 45 minutes which is what we want while...Read full review »

Everything is great with this podcast but… Kalen doing his voice the way he does cringes through me. Please just speak with your normal tone.
Carolyn617 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/01/22
I was (am) the BIGGEST Ricki Lake Fan!! Thanks Ricki for doing this podcast! I love hearing your voice again!!
skyeadams via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/30/22
I’m really liking the podcast so far! Like the title says, I was “raised on Rickie.” watched nearly every day after school and loved her youthful energy and the way she interacted with her guests. I always enjoyed her show the best because it was still drama filled and scandalous but it had a big...Read full review »

I LOVE LOVE this podcast. I just finished your interview with Rosie….we would not agree on a lot of things but that’s ok. When you listen to someone else’s view that is how you learn and grow.

I love this show so much! I’m 41 and Ricki was my after school babysitter in the 90s🤣! She’s always sort of felt like a big sister or favorite aunt to me and I’m so happy she’s back on the air. And who doesn’t love Kalen? They are perfect together. Only thing is I am searching everywhere for the...Read full review »

I love the premise of being returned to the 90’s, the Ricki Lake show does hold the top spot me for me when comparing other similar shows of that era. Ricki is able to bring that warmth and compassion thro to the podcast, However I feel that there is too much focus on how revolutionary the show...Read full review »

Love Ricki but Kalen is annoying. Go solo Ricki…you don’t need a sidekick
Water33g19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/22
I love this podcast, it takes me back to the 90s when Ricki had her talk show, it seems nice to hear her voice and the guests and the topics are always interesting! I look forward to each episode.
cvdixon29 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/22
I grew up watching you and to this day still love Cry-Baby. I love every second of you, I’m so happy you have a podcast!

A fun look back on my fave after school show!

Ricki… where do I start.. I grew up watching you everyday! You were such a part of my life as a teenager. You spoke to us and made all of us feel accepted. When I was in high school a few of my friends was actually a guest. What an experience! Thank you for making this show! You guys are doing an...Read full review »

I was literally just thinking about Ricki and (insert doorbell) she popped up on podcasts. I love her voice. Her vibe. Just her. As an 80s baby, this was one of the first shows that I could relate to.
nunyah d. buziness via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/22
I stumbled upon this podcast and it couldn’t be more perfect for me! I’m a millennial latch key kid who rushed home everyday to watch Ricki Lake. Also I am a huge fan of Kalen and follow all of his social media. These two are hilarious and I love reliving these memories with them!
EmmyRo130 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/22
Not just funny, but hilarious. Not just a blast from the past, but a feel good nostalgia trip. Not just interesting, inspiring. It also jumps right in to the good stuff, no waffle or ego tripping with Ricki and her guests. My favourite new bite sized podcast of awesomeness! Treat your ears...Read full review »

Ricki, you’re amazing. And I adore you. Glad to listen
Amy Justus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/22
I was a latchkey kid and grew up on Ricki Lake. I loved her movies. This podcast is great. She tells great stories and her episode with Rosie was perfect. Glad you’re back, Ricki! You’ve been missed.

Go Ricki Go Ricki! I used to race home from high school to watch Ricki Lake at 3pm every day. When I saw that she was back with this podcast I was so excited! The podcast is really good but it could use a few tweaks. I love the discussions about the shows and what the norms were then versus now....Read full review »
