Shannon, I’m stalking your old episodes… AND OMG TIKTOK ROGER ACTUALLY GOT CANCELED. You really did call this!
Amra
Love the non-blind item episodes. It’s really fun to get your hot takes and I actually signed up for the Patreon thinking it would be a space that you use for that genre of discussion. The conspiracies are really fun too! I like a mix of lengths - I listen to the short ones while doing chores and leave the long ones for walks. You’re killin it!
Alexis DeLucia
shannon i’m literally listening to this specific patreon rn bc it’s 29 min and i didn’t want to start a full hour one (i listen mostly in the car) but please make them however long u want i like the variety!!
Bruna Reznik
I know you said it kinda jokingly but if you were interested in trying d&d, Ive really been wanting to dm a game. I live in Montreal, but it could be played online through chat on discord. :)
Olivia
Totally mix it up w the topics! I get what claire was saying, but imo any podcast I best when the host is genuinely engaged!
Karo Gamez
I would love to have longer episodes 🙏I'm a dog walker so long episodes get me through my mornings, also talk about anything you want! I've been a loyal fluzzie since the Epstein episode and I also got into blind to you but honestly the constant and the why I keep coming back to fluently forward and became a patron it's you! I feel like when you do your episodes is like having a cool conversation with a friend (sorry if that's lame lol)
sarala
I’m ready for jimmy fallon to be gone I’m so over him LOL.
nikki
I’ve wondered in passing about this Tiktoker too. I think it’s smart to be wary about any man in predominately young-girl filled spaces. Of course doesn’t mean he’s automatically a creep for doing so but it’s definitely smart to keep a side eye on him. Tbh I think that where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Sending an email like that isn’t normal, ideally a man of that age would have better things to do
BeccaA
Episode request - impractical jokers (even if it was just one of the short ones!) there was a loooot of rumours online about Joe when he left and also the rumour the Call Her Daddy girls talked about!
Olivia Hull
I am DYING at the Roger story!!! I kinda stopped watching his videos when he started doing all these duets, esp because most of them are with young girls
Shannon McNamara
Yes! I have a Tiktok explaining it here :) https://www.tiktok.com/@fluentlyforward/video/7183401405527493930?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
Baird Whichard
yes to more topics!!
Camille
Here for any and all content you bring 🍻stray from those blinds if you want! Get weird with it!!
Lauren V
I love all the topics!
Nicole
OMG YES to the book club!!!!
Paloma Wooden
Honestly, I signed up to your Patreon because I like your takes on the deeper/conspiracy theory style stuff. Because it’s refreshing to hear non q anon people talk about these real or alleged issues! And it’s always better to hear someone talk about things they love
Mary C.
How did you say we could access your Notion template for goal setting again? I’m thinking of trying it out!
Hannah
Shannon I would love to join your book club!
Dana Snoo
I love your idea for new topics!!!
Jenna Pagliarini
Tom Brady and Kim K date
Hannah
Screaming about your Daphne observations. I was telling my friends she’s who I would have become if I kept dating finànce bros instead of accepting that I was a lesbian
Shannanagens
You need to read ACOTAR
Shannanagens
But also completely trust your taste and will listen to whatever you put out there 😊🙏❤️Your ideas sounds great
Shannanagens
My favorite eps so far have been your conspiracy episodes! More please!!
Cheyenne Hart
Ok last thing about this ep - I think you’re placing too much blame on Greta for responding and causing men to go down the rabbit hole and not any accountability on the men who go down the rabbit hole. I’ve seen Andrew Tate and think he’s an idiot. I made that choice and moved on. Men are capable of doing that too. Greta isn’t opening any doors that men wouldn’t find themselves going down anyways. More blame on men and less on a 19 year old.
Cheyenne Hart
Agree with all of this
Cheyenne Hart
Shannon just finished the ep and here’s my thoughts- you already are branching out so much with telling us the influencer story (yikes but are we suprised a man is acting like this wish I could say I was) and with wanting to do a book club (great idea I’ll be the first to sign up). So you branching out with your content isn’t really all that out there? I think that girl you were talking to got it wrong and doesn’t know your audience. She’s in her niche and she’ll stay there ig, but real growth comes from trying new things and changing things up! Also you’re not the only blind item source in the world. We’re prob all subscribers of BTB too so we’ll live. I just can’t get over how wrong that girl was on her take. Branch out Shannon! You have the Midas touch.
Cheyenne Hart
HOLY SHIT THE UGLY SISTER ONE!! Shannon ur a genius!! I’ll support anything you do! You are so intelligent and I didn’t subscribe to the Patreon for blinds, I subscribed for YOU! Don’t listen to the book club girl lol we’re here for u not her
Kayla Daly
i’d listen to you fart for thirty minutes
Ashley Strickland
I love all your ideas about the things you want to talk about. It's not just blinds we all come for your takes on things and your personal insight on pop culture. Go for it my dude, it'll be great!
Danika
Shannon you could talk about the funky stains you have on your carpet and I would listen and subscribe. You always manage to make everything so fun and it’s such a treat to get to be part of your Patreon communitt
Gisselle
would you ever consider breaking down the conspiracy theory iceberg?
Claire Gill
love the idea of different types of content because tbh i just like YOU! ❤️
Sue Sylvester
You have to expose Roger 🤢🤢
Tina
I’m here for all the niche and random topics you want to do on here. I find myself enjoying a lot of your takes.
Ryan Dickinson
Anything you talk about I will listen!!
Shannon Walker
I agree with everyone else. I think a mix of blind items, conspiracy, or anything else you wanna talk about is good. I think we’re all here just cause we enjoy hearing your thoughts on variety of topics lol
Hannahsbananass
I love that you use reddit so much bc same
Hannahsbananass
Shannon you can talk about anything you want girl! I would definitely still listen bc you make me laugh!
Kelly Vandersluis Morgan
YES to the book club!!! I'm all about the junkfood books.
Polly Vargatoth
Please talk about anything!! I love surprise box podcastss
elise lucille
Lil nepodote- I used to work with this guy that everyone would call “Nepotism Chris” because he was one of the executive’s nephews and he was terrible at his job
Meep
Honestly I just like hearing you talk Shannon so whatever content you put out I’m listening!
grace
shannon i would listen to you talk about anything
anna horta
AMAZINGGGGG topic ideas for the podcast eps u wanna do, theyre super creative! i love blind items but i’d consume anything u put out and i love your opinions, and im so down to listen to eps that arent necessarily abt blind items. the topics u mentioned were so interesting, especially the ugly sister one!!
Kayla Allen
I found it funny that Greta is the downfall of Andrew Tate, poetic justice
Rachel Bachhuber
I would totally be down for a zoom book club!
Courtney
I think we all can agree we came to the pod for the blind items, stayed and subscribed to the Patreon for Shannon. Whatever content you want to deliver I’m here for! Listening to anything you do feels like chatting with a friend so I’m here for the long haul no matter the for!
Mallory McCauley
Book club PLEASE
Silly Puddy
^^^ i second this as well ♡♥♡
Silly Puddy
I second this ^^ ♡♥♡
taylorslikeumwife
Also I love the idea of a book club I too enjoy trashy romance books
taylorslikeumwife
Same
taylorslikeumwife
He probably listens to your Patreon omggg he’s gonna hear this. (Roger guy)
Hannah Haas
I wouldn’t mind exploring other topics you like or doing deeper analysis on celebs/relationships- sounds fun!
Noelle
I honestly thought Greta and Elon already fought online
Savannah Bertram
Do the new episode styles!! The CHD episode deep dive with clips of their vlogs and show in the episode was one of your best.
Sarah Bledsoe
Did any of ur 2022 predictions come true
tabi ❣️
I’m technically a nepo baby at my job, and it def helped me get hired faster. I at least like to think I’m using it for good since I’ve helped a few people get into the same job I have. One friend of mine is now in a position above me :) These celebs pretending like they’re the only kids not benefiting from nepotism is very telling of how ungrounded they’re living 🙄
Maeve
Pleaseee do a dating sociopaths in finance episode!!!
cass (not pictured)
Just looked up Roger on TikTok and it’s the CREEPIEST account ever lmao imagine he had 3 followers and is making 30+ videos in a day wearing the same shirt dueting thin white girls waiting for them to notice him 💀
Alisha.
YES to “other topics” love the weird mythical stuff but honestly whatever you wanna talk about I’m listening lol
RJ
Oh and bonus resolution for anyone that wants one: learn to make your favorite takeout food, or something you don’t know how to cook. It might take a few tries but it’s such a nice feeling when you get it how you want
Kat Gugino
I love jenna marbles!
cass (not pictured)
Loveee the other type of topics like Ugly Sister or dating a Sociopath 🤣
Kat Gugino
I think the majority of us pay because we love you!!!
Kat Gugino
HAHAH ROGER
Kat Gugino
Omg yes i want you to do whatever you want!!!! I love the “ugly” sister idea i always think about that too
RJ
Tbh I have been missing the episodes that were less blind items and more a discussion and I’d love to hear more you’re interested in! And tbh I’d love a few episodes on problematic influencers at some point. Also you could do a book club on Geneva like cmbc has! It would let people not on patreon be able to join. Also I’d love if you had Ashley on to talk about being single and enjoying it (she’s been talking about it a lot lately and I love it)
SOL88
I second this!
schulmanatrix
Yes please book club! So into this idea
Emilyn2224
shannon did you post the notion layout anywhere? i’d love to try it!
Crystal R-O
Yes do a book club!
Jodie Clark
I would LOVE a book club!
Dee
Shannon- I love everything you talk about no matter what!!! I listen to this podcast because I love your thoughts/insights/voice and would love to see you talk about things you are passionate about, because you would really shine!!
Bronagh
Love the idea for more varied topics! I usually just find your take on things interesting no matter the topic 😀 also very game for an easy-book book club!
Zoe Reinus
Shannon totally go for whatever your interest is atm! Im not paying for blind items, im paying for deep dives - and honestly it gets redundant when everyone is giving a hot take on some pop culture thing of the week so go for it, YOU DO YOU
T Nat
I liked your "Ugly Sister" idea, even though I don't think they are ugly people at all. It's more like, sisters with inferiority complexes. . .I and also enjoy when you mix gossip with conspiracy theories. Yes, to the book club idea. I like mysteries and a combination of mystery with romance.
Natalie m
I'm personally not paying for blind items content, im here to scratch ur brain & hear ur thoughts/observations/analyses abt pop culture & culture in gen. I'm subscribed bc i wanna watch you and your work grow & evolve 💛
Kerri Cochrane
I would love a book club - I love a good “trash tv” book!
Kerri Cochrane
Same!
Kiki
I also thought something was weird when Roger started duetting a bunch of young women and teen girls. It just feels off idk
Monica
I love the variety that the paetron brings I would get bored if you just did blind items on both podcasts! My favorite part of your blind items is the discourse you bring up! And I initially fell in love with you for your conspiracy theories! So please talk about whatever makes you happy and that you are genuinley interested in, it's contagious!
Grem Boa
I’m hereeeeeee for the other content.
Kat Wentz
I don’t think of u as a “blinds only” podcast. I listen to beyond the blinds for that. I like ur pov and hearing what ur interests are beyond blind items.❤️
Gisselle
i would love to have a book club!
Shannon McNamara
HAHA im dead do you remember which one it was?!
Mary Noal
omg I saw roger comment on one of your tik toks recently saying something like “so beautiful” LMAO
Erin
I actually don't really enjoy just blinds anymore, I listen to my favourite blinds podcasts because I like the podcasters so now I prefer the discourse around the blinds if that makes sense lol and yeah any other content
Noelle
NOOOOOO THE ROGER GUY OMFG
Deanna Hewitt
i literally love your first episodes!!
Gracee
As long as blind items/pop culture are still incorporated from time to time I’d be open to hearing anything. I wasn’t a huge conspiracy person until you started posting more about it and now it fascinates me!
Meg
Honestly I’d be more than fine with reaching outside and beyond the blind items. I still love the blinds but with patreon I’m here for more Shannon content, whatever that may be!
Noelle
Whatever content you serve us we will eat up Shannon do your thing
