she always goin off about something. Acts like everybody is supposed to like Beyonce.

Podcast is good if you need something to pass the time. She doesn't really discuss anything of substance she just vents. When she reads ads she over annunciates and sounds like a robot.Read full review »

I look forward to this podcast every time it comes out and I find myself thinking “what would Demetria say?” About topics of the day 👌🏾love

As a faithful listener, I can’t believe I hit the nail on the head with the couple that wasn’t pleased with your interview. I remembered when you spoke about it at that time. Bob & Sheila would have been too much for this episode…

This pod has fallen off. I used to enjoy the cultural and pop culture segments. Now it’s seems like a personal diary that poorly edited peppered heavily with ads. Not engaging or seems to care about audience retention.

I’ve been a faithful listener for quite awhile but I believe that pod is missing something. A production team mostly. It’s poorly edited, always late, and inconsistent in its content. Like many others noted, it’s way more ads than actual episode. The lateness is almost comical at this point....Read full review »

1) I'm 100% ok with some ads in a podcast — but not when they're running for almost as long as the content! It's gotten SO MUCH WORSE this year and is ridiculous at this point... 2) Hearing about Demetria's daily life is cool but, like the ads... there's way too much now....Read full review »

I’ve listened to this podcast religiously since its inception. Really good stuff and a voice very much needed amongst the masses. Lately tho, the scales have tipped heavily toward more ads and less content. I get having to make a living but when ads take up almost half of the time, not only is it...Read full review »

Demetria is insightful, hilarious, and her ability to tell stories especially about her adventures are the best! Sometimes it feels like inner monologue and others it is like I am catching up with a friend. Join the odyssey and listen
Ninasym77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/28/23
This has been my favorite podcast for awhile now, but the ads outweigh the content. An episode can be 42 minutes long, but the ads take up 18 minutes of that time. Episodes now feel rushed and incomplete. I understand that she is out of the country and I also understand that ads pay the bills;...Read full review »

Btw Airbnb has been giving a lot of people loads of trouble lately. I think I’m going back to hotels indefinitely. The company and hosts are becoming more and more unpredictable and sketchy.
KPompey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/23
I remember when someone wrote in to say the opening “Ladies and Gentlemen..” wasn’t inclusive. The tone in your voice said “oh please..idc” when you discussed it. Then when you started saying “and all of those…” the very first time was said with your usual tone when you say something that you...Read full review »

Thank you for sharing your life journey in Ghana and black culture updates. It’s clear you’re doing what you love, and thank you for sharing it with the world! You already know this, but remember that people are more likely to complain than compliment, so for every bad review, there are 10-20...Read full review »
Fan o' good Syfi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/23
Demetria has always been one of my faves. Years ago I stumbled upon her IG which lead me to her books. Since then I’ve supported all of her work. This podcast is no different. True to the title, it’s the most perfect balance of ratchetness and respectability with a heavy sprinkle of travel. Add...Read full review »
ccbylondon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/23
Horrible ad placements and seems like the topics aren’t researched but on the fly. This could be a good podcast but it seems like more of an obligation instead of something Demetria wants to do.
Buttaworth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/23
Happy Birthday Queen. Thank you for the podcast. I too loved traveling around Europe. Keep it coming.
Sheedah's View via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/23
I'm so glad I found this podcast 1 year ago. I know Demetria's name from her days as a writer on a small publication. To be blessed 2x a week with her insights, humor and love of all things black brings consistent joy.Read full review »

I am a day one listener and I wanted to share that this current episode is so far below the level of content we usually receive from you.

There are too many loud ads,but this podcaster can be entertaining and is sometimes informative—especially about the backstory regarding how creatives get things done in the US entertainment industry. The loud ads, including those read in a louder, clipped voice by the podcaster, make me fast...Read full review »
berni2012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/23
Feels like I’m listening to one of my girlfriends for each episode. Only minor downside is that there’s literally ad breaks every 5 minutes. Totally understand that sis needs to get her coins but has more ad time than 2+ hour episodes that I listen too, this diluting the value of the ads. Is...Read full review »

I love how organized Demetria is in her presentation. The podcast transitions seamlessly; easy to follow. Keep it up! A breath of fresh air, a real one, a girl after my own heart. I’m so happy I didn’t let that reality show portrayal of you steer me away.
KaiBoogie01$ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/23
Back here after a long time and just wanna say the theme music is nostalgic and exciting ❤️.
PrefHERred via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/23
I’m in tears as I listen to your story. No one should ever have their sense of safety stolen from them. It is one of my biggest fears, especially as a woman. Please take your time to heal and recoup. Even if it means ghosting social media and podcasting. Sending love and prayers from Philly!
Khac17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/23
I absolutely love this podcast for so many reasons. I look forward to Tuesdays and Fridays to hear about what DLL is up to and to get her take on current events. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I am inspired to see the world!
Ebonia416 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/23

You are in my thoughts and prayers… I happily listen to you as if you are my older sister biweekly.

I don’t know if Podcasting is a category in the Emmys, but THIS podcast deserves an Emmy. We have been on a journey with Demi for a couple of years now and it has been nothing but genuine excellence. I would give R&R 10 starts if it were possible.
Samwhite5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/23

She also talks about her experiences and how they have shaped her and brought her to her current place in life and that makes her...Read full review »

Demi is my friend in my head… real bad! She is a representative of all the “radical” ideals that I have for my fellow woman/man and those who don’t identify as either. Anyone hating should take a page from her book (literally or figuratively) and see some world. I’m thankful for all of her...Read full review »
Priscipline via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/14/23
Ratchet is the shortest podcast I listen to, but it has the most ads. If you discount the ads, there’s probably 10 minutes of content. Demetria doesn’t go deep on any topics, just a quick overview. She doesn’t talk about what’s in the news since she’s no longer in the US. Since she's...Read full review »

I really love tagging along on all your travels. And I love your takes on what’s happening in the culture. This is a well-rounded podcast and it inspires me. Keep up the good work.
fanny dashwood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/23
I’m not sure what is up with this podcast as of late, but Demetria seems like she’s just here for the check. In a 45 minute podcast, 25 minutes is taken by ads. Then, the other twenty minutes are “hot topics” regurgitated from The Shade Room comments. This podcast was in the zone when Demetria...Read full review »

If your a fan don’t talk to her in public. She doesn’t like it and will enjoy trashing you on air. You have lost a listener. Not that you care anyway.
Jkylamom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
Ratchet & Respectable has no format or purpose. Between the TV show & movie recaps which often have spoilers and the constant complaining this woman does, I don’t know what the purpose of this podcast is supposed to be. Demetria is over 40 with an unhealthy girl crush on Lori Harvey. I...Read full review »
