Leave the unnecessary intro out about why you had to re-record the most recent episode…just start recording it. And please no more movie reviews…if you guys want to talk about other non-challenge related stuff start a new podcast. Also can’t stand the way you guys pronounce “because” …it’s...Read full review »

They are hilarious! I love Hannah’s comments all three host are hilarious though! When they read Hannah’s notes those are the best! Highly recommend! Lately been falling asleep to old episodes. Forever favorite podcast ❤️

I’ve been listening to these three goofs since day 1 and by all rights I should have 5 starred them long ago. I’d double up on these stars if I could cause it’s well deserved. First off you got Zac “When did she get a septum piercing??!” Cupples, showrunner, pace-setter, knower and noticer of...Read full review »

It feels like I’m sitting here with my best friends every week. I’m so glad I found them!
bigjefftheheff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/29/21
Zach is gross- he thinks he’s the expert on everything is is exceptionally dismissive to not only the woman competitors but also to his own wife/co-host. Jake is slightly better but not by much. There are so many other challenge podcasts out there at this point that unless you share their views...Read full review »

Sometimes it feels like I’m sitting in on a marriage counseling session. Everything poor Hannah says is wrong to her husband, Zac. Everything she says is immediately shot down and Zac loves to make her look dumb. It is just uncomfortable after a certain point. Even when Jake occasionally shoots...Read full review »

I love the Wes podcast, he’s my favorite. I never realized just how smart Wes is, thoroughly enjoyed this!! Oh and I for one love long podcasts!! Great job guys!!
blazing in the Desert via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/21
Zac, Hannah, and Jake do a great job of providing fun fan insight into the pod while also getting interviews. Whenever they criticize a person or praise a person they always back it up with what has happened on screen and are incredibly fair to all the participants of the show. They do not get...Read full review »

Love it all-great challenge talk, insightful observations, hilarious tangents/stories, and great chemistry between all the hosts. I only listen to Challenge pods that discuss the show in ways that are inclusive, socially aware, and don’t shy away from calling out toxic behavior and Smashing...Read full review »
Dominique2203 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/21
I understand this is a podcast about the show, but both Zack and Jake display such blatant misogyny. They never have ANYTHING kind, nice, or supportive to say about the female competitors on this show. Even when the men on this show act like total, complete jerks to the woman, 9 times out of10...Read full review »

I really enjoy this every week, but the men are mean to Hannah, they make fun of her so bad, it seems as though her husband disrespects her so much, she laughs and doesn’t get mad and most of the time it’s harmless, but sometimes I feel cringy listening to them go in on her
dreamajojo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
My favorite Big 3 in all of podcast history. Great chemistry, humorous & ever pleasant with their delivery. 👍🏾👍🏾
Chrisss_iz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/21
You guys are too tough on Hannah.
blueeyedshell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/21
For the most part I do enjoy this podcast. There are always things that can be improved but overall I think it’s pretty good. I think the guys need to talk to Hannah about her long pauses when she chimes in. You know when Michael Scott goes on about how sometimes he starts a sentence and doesn’t...Read full review »

I’m sure it’s a lot of work to get these podcasts up as quickly as you do after each episode but it’s really appreciated!
AmyMayRai via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/20
This is my go-to challenge recap podcast and favorite one by F A R! Each person adds their own take on the episodes, which makes for some great banter and playful back and forth difference of opinions. They’re super nice and have some great takes on the show. Do yourself a favor and join their...Read full review »

There has been something bothering me about this podcast as much as I love it. It’s Zac. He’s such a jerk to both Hannah and Jake... I feel like Jake is respectful even if he disagrees, and Hannah has strong opinions and stands firm on them, and maaaaybe is a little rude about it... Zac, however...Read full review »
Sauceboss326 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/20
This is definitely my favourite Challenge podcast out there. The 3 hosts are all unique in their own way, and have amazing banter. It is a joy to listen to. They all clearly love the show. I definitely recommend this podcast to anyone who loves The Challenge too!
Mandy22ben via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/19/20
Great podcast - would give it 5 stars but Zac constantly dismissing Hannah’s comments grates on me. Otherwise it is great!
ZimmiesLB via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/20
I love this podcast so much it feels like you are just talking with your friends about a show y’all equal enjoy. The host are great and are not afraid to state their opinions and are very respectful while doing so. 10/10 listen, kid friendly, spoiler free, and drama free. Easily one of the best...Read full review »

Smashing Heads is billed as a conversation between friends who love The Challenge, and that's exactly what it is. The hosts are really genuine people with varied viewpoints who don't take reality TV too seriously. They're also funny and like to tell personal stories and sometimes...Read full review »

Absolutely love this podcast. What I look forward to most on my morning commute the day after The Challenge airs. I really appreciate the “fan perspective” all 3 hosts provide. Their banter together is great and I love how they each provide their own unique perspective on different cast members...Read full review »

I’m fairly new to this podcast, but so far I love what I hear! These guys are entertaining to listen to and I think they do a good job trying to see all sides of a story. When I heard they had done a rewatch of Rock of Love on their Patreon, I knew I had found my people. Keep up the great work guys!
Poopy pila via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/16/20
Only give this a try if you want to listen to a group of Zach (on the challenge, not the host) apologists. From saying they don’t remember what he has said in the past that made him so hated (all his sexist comments) to more recently, “I don’t condone his actions BUT ...” before proceeding to...Read full review »
nightwaves4 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/20
I LOVE this podcast. They are spoiler free and PG with their language. It sounds more professional than the ones that allow cursing. They are more organized than other podcasts when discussing each episode as well. I also contacted them a few times and they actually write back which is awesome...Read full review »
carlyecakes55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/20
Honestly, they have the best Challenge podcast out there. Been listening to them for two years almost and probably the main reason I still listen to them is because from the beginning it felt like you’re listening to you’re friends and not some strangers talking. Give really good insight on the...Read full review »
Lisa Anne M via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
This is my go to podcast for the day after the challenge and I love it! But I’m a little bothered that the guys often dismiss Hannah when she’s right, or even for just speculating, when Zac and Jake speculate all the time. For example, it was confirmed on Twitter that they dressed up bc it was...Read full review »

He gotta go. Or at the very least make him use his natural voice. I’m Texan and he ain’t foolin’ me.
Johnny bodine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/20
Entertaining and the hosts seem like nice decent people and that comes through.
.,k,m via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/20
As a huge Challenge fan, I love being able to hear others opinions about what is going on in the show. I look forward each week to hearing their opinions on what is going on. They are charismatic and easy to listen to while doing other tasks. In between Challenge seasons they even review older...Read full review »

Shout out to Jake for always being concerned with how people’s names are properly pronounced. I listened to another podcast where they continuously butchered Asaf’s name so it was nice to hear that you guys were respectful enough to say it correctly. Been a fan for a long time keep up the great...Read full review »

Jake is awesome!! His personality makes this pod what it is!! His voice is so smooth, I sleep like Casey Anthony slept through day she was found not guilty—- like a baby. Ugh I love you guys so much!!! Keep doing you!
Hootsbyme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/19
This podcast is a decent option if you don’t want to pay to be a Patreon at Challenge Mania. I would give it 5 stars if Zach wasn’t such a know it all that uses most the episode to put down the other two hosts. Zach criticizing his wife after every single comment she makes can get awkward. Zach...Read full review »

Sometimes I wonder if we are watching the same show, lol.... Theo didn’t make the finals last year, bear is greater than Theo, and they put subtitles up on purpose. Enjoy the show, keep up the good work and good luck with future projects, Matt
matt the big dawg johnson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/19
I love listening to these 3 talk about the challenge. The chemistry is great! It’s very similar to when I talk with friends about the challenge. Keep up the good work!
slwa123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/19
Simple review. My favorite podcast. Love Zackh and Hannah and all of our best friend Jake. (Really just Zackh’s best friend but he feels like all of our best friend)
kicccr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/15/19
Great chemistry between the 3 of them but I had to give a less than 5 star rating because more recently they have been taking the first 15 minutes to chat about everything but the Challenge. I wish they would go back to their roots and stick to that format.
AmeliaCat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/19
When the crew is talking about the show it is fantastic. The only two issues are just how long it takes for the actual pod to start, typically I have to fast forward up to 15 minutes for plugs, and random banter. Please start time stamping, or save plugs to the end. Also you clearly value...Read full review »

This podcast is the verbal equivalent of wrangling cats. Listening to zac try to keep jake and Hanna on topic is as heartbreaking as it is heartwarming. Zac talks about mtv’s the challenge and the other two talk about whatever comes to their minds and sometimes the words their saying are related...Read full review »

Giving 5 stars for Jake’s appreciation of Paulie and for the respect he gives to Shalegend. Also for the random Svetlana references I’ve been hearing the past couple months. Hannah is sweet and pairs so well with Jake and Zac. And bless Zac’s heart for trying to balance the duo of Jake and...Read full review »

The hosts have a really natural chemistry because they have known each other for a long time. They have a playful banter along with giving great recaps and opinions on the Challenge Seasons. I also have to say I appreciate them being critical of the Challengers at times without being rude or...Read full review »
