unsolicited advice from a longtime listener
I’ve been a loyal listener for a long time and have always appreciated the unique depth the show had when Amanda and Ali were on. Just a bit of unsolicited feedback: Nick, it might be time to embrace the age and experiences of yourself and, I’d guess, much of your audience. Many of us are older millennials, and it could add more richness to the show to bring in voices from people in their 30s and 40s. Leah and Ciara are fantastic, and Justin adds a great younger perspective. I haven't loved the addition of Mare. Sometimes, a comment will make me pause and think, “Who is this for?” Refocusing on a demographic in their 30s and 40s might help you grow and resonate even more with listeners. Lately, it’s felt more like the "Justin and Mare Show" for 20-somethings in LA than the Nick Viall Show. I also love Natalie and her contributions, but I wonder if it might serve her and the show well to have a separate NV Media podcast where she could dive deeper into topics like pregnancy, motherhood, River, and your family life. Or, maybe a quick 5-minute life update at the start of each show could keep things fresh without feeling repetitive. The recent episode with the actress from Nobody Wants This was a great example—while it had some interesting moments, it leaned heavily on familiar topics we often hear, like the age gap, young motherhood, and your wedding. I’d love to see more focus on new conversations, with fresh guests who can contribute unique insights. And maybe as Natalie continues to grow as an influencer, she could explore her own space to share her perspectives, which I know many listeners would enjoy. Another idea might be to bring in more topics that connect with an older millennial audience, like career changes, balancing family and work, navigating relationships over time, or mental health. It would be refreshing to hear more about these life stages and how they intersect with pop culture, reality recaps, and the relationships discussed on the show. Featuring guests who can speak to these experiences could add both variety and depth, helping the podcast resonate even more with your core audience. I’m sharing this because I genuinely love the show and want to see it keep growing and thriving!Read full review »

I wasn’t sure what to expect but listened anyway as I’ve always been a Nick fan since Andi’s season and the show did not disappoint. The thing that’s great about this show and Nick is that he’s very open, honest and incredibly self aware. He shares about his own personal experiences, which I...Read full review »

I’ve always appreciated Nick’s quality of tea to spill, in comparison to most other Bachelor/ette contestants’ mild, bland, tea offerings. This podcast is off to an amazing start, please keep giving the people what they ‘subscribed’ for! Well done on the first ep! 👌🏼
