Love this podcast!
Becca and Olivia are the perfect pairing for podcast hosts! I think Olivia was the perfect choice for the new host and I love their banter and how they encourage each other and are both on book writing journeys. I can't wait to read their books once they are published and I always look forward to the new episodes! Smart, creative and interesting content so thank you ladies for being a bright spot in my workday listens!

It's always a fun day when I open my podcast app and there's a new episode from these gorgeous ladies! Love the episodes and the friendly banter and I absolutely love the new co-host Olivia! Becca and Olivia are the perfect dream team and I get so many great book recommendations from them. Love this show ❤️

My Go-To Pod
I found BOP through a friend who recommended Olivia to me as style and travel inspiration. Listening this past year has reinvigorated my love for reading (I bought a kindle! I read regularly for the first time in years!) and has also recommended amazing brands to me. Olivia and Becca have great chemistry and are truly real every single week. I love the series on how to write a book ( despite this being something I never imagine myself doing). If you want to join two friends chatting about life in a relaxed, relatable way, this is the podcast for you!

I love this reading podcast, who knew?!
I started listening to this podcast a few months ago right before Grace left and Olivia joined. I’ve gotten into reading again over the past two years and I love this podcast listening to books, adding to my TBR list, and learning about the process of writing. I love both of the hosts though I relate to Olivia the most. Whether you’re an avid reader or just looking for some recommendations I higher recommend this podcast!

My favorite podcast
Update: Hoping for more lifestyle content! I’ve always skipped the book club episodes and now it seems to be all book / writing focus. Hoping we can have more casual convos and lifestyle episodes. Listening to this podcast is like listening to two longtime friends. Becca and Grace are a breath of fresh-air, and I look forward to the podcast each week! They’re fun and kind, and provide great content. From career advice to travel tips, there hasn’t been an episode I haven’t liked.

Can you go back to more lifestyle content?
This podcast is fantastic--great host, fun vibe, honest and transparent dialogue. I love Becca & Olivia so much and I've been listening to the podcast for quite a while (shout out to Grace too!). However, lately the show seems to be focusing most episodes on the ins and outs of writing/publishing a book. Is there a way to sprinkle more general lifestyle content in? Not everyone is in writing or publishing.

First it was Grace and Becca, 2 women that are so fun, intelligent and very well rounded! We miss Grace so much but Olivia is truly a wonderful replacement for a host 😍 I was recommended this podcast and am now recommending it to others! I’m excited to read along and learn more from Olivia and Becca, and really hope Grace comes back as a guest star very very soon 💙💛

I’ve been listening to Bad on Paper for over two years at this point, and I always loved it. I was a huge fan of Grace and wasn’t sure if I’d continue listening after she left, but I am absolutely loving the new dynamic between Becca & Olivia! They have great chemistry and I love the new perspectives Olivia brings to the conversation. Keep up the great work!!

I love this podcast so much! I am a pretty new listener and I am loving the new duo of Becca and Olivia but also like going into the archive and listening to other episodes with Grace because why not?! I’ve told so many friends about this show because it’s such a joy. The book recommendations are an awesome perk, too! Can’t say enough good things and I look forward to new episodes each week.

Best Duo
I love Becca and Olivia together. The podcast format has changed just a bit and I really like it. I enjoy the different episodes they’ve been doing. I also just wanted to add I love how Olivia is a saver. I don’t feel pressured to buy unnecessary things and I really enjoy how she talks about saving money or eating in.

I have been a long time listener and have loved listening along as Becca and Olivia get to know one another. The “14 Summer Reading Recs” episode is fantastic. I loved the creativity of this format and introduction to new people who also love books! The two of you have found your footing as co-hosts ♥️!

The podcast has gotten so much better with Olivia as the host (along with Grace!) The banter comes across as very natural and Olivia’s positivity makes it feel like I’m chilling with two of my closest friends. And, of course, the books! I cannot listen without adding at least two books to my TBR BOP is NOT to be missed!

More than Just Books!
BoP is like hanging out with 2 of your smart, funny best friends who aren’t afraid to keep it real. I’ve been listening for years and the pod just keeps getting better! I only listen to the book episodes once I’ve already read the book itself, but the book content truly evergreen- listening to back episodes after finishing a book really enriches the experience. Go listen!!

Edited: love the the new duo! Grace will be missed but she isn’t far from our hearts or content ❤️ Missed my friends while you were taking a break. So glad to be able to listen to you banter back and forth over the serious and silly. Sometimes we just need a little bit of familiarity during these crazy COVID times, you bring the laughs and a bit of reprieve from it all. Thank you ❤️

Really going to miss Grace! This is the ONLY podcast I listen to twice both the day it drops and again on Saturday when I write down the obsession and books so I can explore them. Hopefully Grace can pop in maybe monthly with a 2 minute check in but looking forward to getting to know Olivia. All the best Grace, you will be missed.

BoP x Kate Spencer was the crossover episode of my DREAMS 😍😍 I have listened to BoP and F35 from the start and hearing you guys interview her (and promote her book) made me so happy. BoP is the best, thanks for so many hours of laughs and inspiration during the past several years.

Couldn’t love this pod more!
I listen every week and I always look forward to my Grace and Becca time! I love having these two as my “podcast friends” and I find it so soothing hearing them catch up about their lives, talk about their highs and lows, what they’re reading, and of course their conversations with all of their amazing guests. Thank you both for creating this podcast that is always a highlight of my week. Going to miss you so very much Grace, but I’m also very excited to see where Becca and Olivia take the pod. And Olivia!! Could you have picked a more perfect person for this?? Cheers to exciting new chapters for everyone! (See what I did there 📚) love you all.

How to say “women”
Love the pod! I find it endearing and it cracks me up when Grace tries to say “women” and it comes out as “woman.” Grace, pretend that the “o” in “women” is an “i” and that’s how you pronounce “women!” Xoxo!

Inspiring!
This podcast is really special to me. Throughout my childhood, I was a voracious reader. As I got older, things got in the way and reading fell to the back burner. When I did try to read, I’d often pick the nonfiction choices that I felt like I “had” to read. I would get bored, get frustrated, and quit. Cue March 2020. I had been a listener of the podcast pre-pandemic, but Grace and Becca’s reviews and recs inspired me to try reading again. I had pretty isolated up until recently as I am a critical care nurse practitioner who cares almost exclusively for COVID and COVID lung transplant patients and I did not want to spread Covid to my circle of friends/family or my vulnerable patients. Reading has been a joyful and peaceful release during an otherwise depressing time. I now read several books a week. I love Becca and Grace’s simple advice of reading what you love! Thank you ladies for getting my back into reading during this difficult time in the world. ❤️

I really enjoy this podcast. It is one where I rarely miss an episode because it feels like catching up with friends each week.

I miss it when they take their December break, but always enjoy the yearly goal-setting conversations when they come back!

My new favorite podcast
Bad on Paper is the light, fun podcast that’s a perfect antidote to daily stress. Two girlfriends talk about books, travel, food, skincare, childhood nostalgia and Instagram feeds that have caught their eye. They’ve done episodes that range from career Q&As to a bunch of ‘would you rather’ scenarios. I’ve been listening since November 2020 when one of my favorite writers was a guest, and I look forward to it every week. Bad on Paper is good on audio!

Started for the books, stay for the friendship
Listening to Grace and Becca feels like listening to my dearest friend. The podcast helps me find new book recommendations before my close friends and family do and it helps me connect with my own friends using their recommendations. The lifestyle and movie recs are fun too! Truly feels like I’m sitting down to a glass of wine with a friend while listening to longtime friends catch up.

Obsessed with this Podcast!!
I found this podcast the first week of quarantine and it has been exactly what I needed. Wednesday’s have become a day to look forward to because the new episodes drop. I could listen to Grace and Becca talk for hours. I love all the book recommendation and the banter back and forth. It feels like a little glimpse into NYC living and I find it so entertaining. I found the podcast through Grace’s blog which is also a great read if you haven’t checked it out you definitely should! Thank you ladies for keeping me entertained and for all the great recommendation from products, to podcasts, to books and so much more. Keep up the great work!

My go to podcast
I rarely write reviews but I’ve been a long time listener and felt like it was time. I love this podcast!! The only ones I don’t listen to are book episodes for books I haven’t read yet, but if I ever get to them I love to go back and listen (finally got a chance to listen to the ace of spades episode!! Love) Such a comforting show to listen to, I love the life updates and the tv and book recs.

My go-to resource for book recs! I love their broad and often differing takes. They’ve also taught to me to embrace all my interests, regardless if they’re not “high-brow.” From interesting guests and career advice, to weekly highs and lows and loungewear reviews… it’s the perfect mix. Every episode is like hanging out with friends!!

When you mean woman. Love the podcast and other stuff you do, just left you five stars, have been subscribed for a couple of years, & listen often. In recent Grace interview you talked about hiring a ‘girl’. Fairly certain you’re not hiring a child. Please set a better example. Please use another term. Thanks!

I cannot say enough good things about these ladies and their incredible podcast.

Be a good friend
I am a long time listener and this pod has given me such great gift and book recs over the years. However, Becca is increasingly snarky towards Grace and sometimes just rude/puts her down. Becca, be a little kinder to your friend.

Recent disappointment
Long-time listener, love this podcast, but I felt compelled to share after the Casey Balsham episode. I thought the beginning portion with the trigger warning wasn’t handled very well and it didn’t sit right with me to hear “if you’re going to be triggered by this, see ya on the next one!” followed by a laugh. It just felt inappropriate and I wish that had been taken more seriously. Again, I am a huge fan and will continue to listen, but I wish that there was a little more sensitivity in that warning.

Please Pause on the Politics
I agree worg the reviews that this is a happy place to disconnect from the crazy world. Please, I beg, pause on the politics. While it’s apparent you don’t like trump, please know that half of your listeners are likely moderate, or heaven forbid republican. Not looking for a “fine, they don’t have to listen” response, but more I urge you to follow your “inclusive” ethos to understand that others may have differing views, and the world should be ok with that. I also urge you to watch something other than CNN. Maybe you’re not ready for Fox News, maybe CNBC, to see if Biden is really the predicted savior after the first 9 months of his presidency.

Mixed feelings
I really really want to love this podcast because I enjoy reading and I’m a fan of Grace’s blog content. Unfortunately I struggle with Grace’s voice, which has a lot of vocal fry and can sound baby-ish, as others have mentioned. I know she probably can’t help/change it at this point, but podcasts are 100% auditory - it’s a dealbreaker for me.

Bedding sponsor while speaking to bedding founder? Sloppy.
Generally enjoy the pod, was thrilled to hear Nell would be the guest this week. While I can sympathize with campaign timing and commitments to sponsors, I was shocked that Grace and Becca didn’t see an issue in advertising a bedding company via their sponsored content this week while speaking to the CEO of a bedding company… what a slap in the face. Treat your guests with some respect!

I found your podcast after you were on Girls Gotta Eat and recommended some summer reading choices. I am a teacher and started at the beginning episode at the start of summer, I am almost caught up, but I have loved the podcast and the reading recommendations have been great. I am looking forward to catching up to real time and reading along. Thank you for keeping me entertained all summer! And Thank you Becca for filling teacher wishlists! It’s so important to support education and teachers!

Nope
Phew okay. Graces voice is literal nails on a chalkboard. But what did it for me was when these hosts bashed where the crawdads sing and called it the worst book they’ve ever read. “I hated it so much” Yet they rate other books I won’t name 5 stars. Huh?? Crawdads is literal poetry. Also Elin hildebrand one of their beloved guests is extremely problematic, just google her!

Fun, but Sometimes Frustrating
I absolutely loved this podcast for a long time and was an OG listener when it was all/mostly books. I’ve loved how it’s evolved over the years and the guest episodes are especially phenomenal.I find the book recommendations to always be on point! I hesitate to leave my feedback though because, although the two women are always asking for reviews, Grace does not seem to take criticism well. Unfortunately I’m close to unsubscribing because I’m often frustrated by how little Grace seems to actually listen to/interact genuinely with the others involved—whether that’s her cohost Becca, or their guests. She either interrupts a speaker to go on her own tangent or simply responds with a lackluster, “Yes,” “Mmmm,” or “Okay.” I’m bummed about this because I’d love to keep listening to the guests and Becca in particular is a spectacular interviewer and conversationalist! This will probably be dismissed or explained away, but thought I’d leave the review in case others might find it helpful!

The perfect cup of tea
Grace and Becca manage to bring warm and fuzzy feelings of comfort, coziness, friendship and being true to yourself in every episode, whether it be just them chatting together (which are definitely my favorite) or dissecting their monthly bookclub pick. As an American Expat, this podcast is like sipping a warm cup of tea from home, I wish they had more than one episode per week!

SO. MUCH. BABY VOICE
I was really excited to listen to this, I’d gotten a bunch of recommendations for it and usually love a good besties podcast. But they speak in these voices that are like a cross between Paris Hilton baby voice and Kim K vocal fry, and I kept getting totally distracted by how deeply grating the cadence was. Such a bummer because I really enjoyed their content otherwise, but in a podcast, the voice really matters!

Great chemistry and good information!
Update: I look forward to listening to Becca and Grace every week. I love the projects they are involved in and share with their audience. I like how they respect their differences and how they have grown over the past few years. It’s a delight to listen to this pod especially over the long term. It’s like a date with my girlfriends every week. Thank you! I love listening to these lovely ladies. They have great insights, know what are the must read books, and great guests and natural conversations.

Up and down
Some episodes are pretty interesting and others are so painful. The most recent on what they were watching etc was a train wreck. Listening to Grace talk about a past sponsor (coke freestyle machine)and yet unable recall the name or truly describe it, made me delete BOP from my podcast lib.

Will no longer listen
I used to love this podcast but I can’t listen anymore after Grace and Becca irresponsibly gave Jackie, Grace’s “life coach,” a platform. The content was so shocking - negating therapy, speaking in complete woo woo, empty terms. I am training to be a LICENSED therapist and found the episode so problematic. Everyone can benefit from therapy, but the episode only further stigmatized it. I don’t understand how two women in their 30’s wouldn’t realize that this was not only unhelpful but potentially damaging to those listening. You are both better informed than that, or at least I thought you were. I’m glad the episode has been removed but I no longer want to support this pod.

Offensive and dangerous language re therapy
I have enjoyed this podcast in the past, but the most recent interview with a “life coach” who said that therapy was for people who were in a dark place and that life coaching was for “functioning people” was not only offensive, but also dangerous. Completely irresponsible to give this woman a platform. The hosts should have known better.

Disappointed in latest episode
I love this podcast, but I am incredibly disappointed in the latest episode. The way that the guest described therapy as for when you are in a very dark place and you need someone to pull you out while coaching is for “fully functioning humans” is incredibly inaccurate and further stigmatizes seeking help for mental health. Therapy is not just for when you are in a “very dark place” and fully functioning humans seek mental health services from therapists. So out of touch, truely unbelievable. I hope that this is not an indication of the direction the podcast is going.

Grace spends 25k on a life coach 🤮
Jackie charges $25,000 for 6 months of working with her. This episode is so privileged and out of touch with reality, I’m shocked how much Grace thinks this is at all relatable for her followers.

thank you! love hearing about your favorites and would love to hear more about how you're trying to stay sane and happy during this dark and gloomy winter! (what i hope is) constructive criticism: I think speaking time should be spread more equally between you both so that we can enjoy you both equally! Becca sometimes interrupts Grace which can be frustrating, as a podcast listener. five stars!!

Makes working from home way better!
I’ve been working from home for almost a year because of COVID. While I enjoy the flexibility of being at home and working remote, I miss having conversations with or even just the presence of my coworkers throughout the day. I went back to the beginning of this podcast and have been listening to every episode throughout my day and I am obsessed! I love their energy, the wide range of topics they cover, the guests they have on the pod and how genuine they are! Even when the topics aren’t the most relatable to me, I like to hear different perspectives and feel like I learn something new every episode. I also feel like listening to them makes it feel like I’ve got girlfriends around chatting while I work so working from home doesn’t feel so lonely. I love this podcast and can’t wait for COVID to be over so they do more live shows!

It’s More Than A Bookclub!
I have listened to a dozen podcasts a week for years and I have never left a single review until now, because I have no constructive criticism and nothing but nice things to say about this podcast and its hosts (Grace Atwood and Becca Freeman). Both women are considerate, thoughtful, and well-spoken (no chaotic energy or off-the-cuff remarks) on a variety of topics. In addition to listening to every week’s episode and every month’s book club episode (without always reading the book), I follow both women on Instagram and they are extremely responsive to their comments and direct messages, which I extremely appreciate! Plus there is a reasonable number of ad breaks and I never feel the need to skip through the ads. Although age is somewhat irrelevant when listening to podcasts, I consider these two women to be older sisters or mentors who are pursuing their careers and meaningful female friendships. I suggest you start listening now!

No really, this feel likes your best friend on the go. I really love the dynamic between Becca and Grace. Not only do you gain valuable professional wisdom from their guests and their own experiences, there’s a ton of great ideas for your next read, watch, IG follow, etc. my favorite discovery of 2020

Feel Good Authentic Conversation
I absolutely love Becca and Grace! I am not sure how I would be surviving pandemic without their witty and wise weekly chats on all things books and beyond! I truly appreciate you and cannot recommend their podcast enough if you are missing out on visits with friends, need a good pep talk, or excellent book recs and guest chats! This will make your weeks brighter!

Excellent review of Big Magic
Becca and Grace delivered a true review of this creative book. Biggest take away for me is we are all creative in some way. Do the thing that brings you joy! Also, FEAR - the dreaded four letter word that holds us back. Looking forward to hearing the conversation with Elizabeth Gilbert. An excellent bonus!!

I found BOP because of a specific episode on salary and negotiation (which I highly recommend- very informative), since then i've been hooked and really look forward to listening each week. Becca and Grace are smart, funny, and interesting. They talk about relatable topics and always have a great book recommendation. They have definitely been keeping me sane through this pandemic!

Book recs, Career Dev, lifestyle and more!
I was never a big reader, because I’m slow and didn’t know what genres I’d like. Since I started listening to Bap on Paper I read a couple books a month! Then I discovered audiobooks through the library and listen to them while pruning the garden or as something to enjoy while working. My favorite genre now is thriller like Guest List and rom coms like One to Watch. Thank you for all your recommendations on books, career development, and lifestyle products. I love you Bad on Politics episodes and one of my favorites I revisit during performance reviews is how to negotiate wages. Thank your for sharing your recommendations and insight!

I have been a long time listener of this podcast - what I love is that it feels like this safe space where I can listen to women talking about everything from books to beauty to politics to Hallmark movies. I love all the author interviews that go along with the book club selections and the thoughtful questions Grace and Becca ask. When I need a respite from the news or whatever stress, this is where I go.

This review is way overdue, but better late than never! I have been listening to Grace and Becca since the beginning. They inspired me to start reading again, and 2020 was the first year I read over 20 books in a LONG time. Also love the conversations - it makes me feel like I could be their friend in real life.

Feels like my own (all star) book club
I was in a reading slump at the beginning of the pandemic and BOP saved me! Not only do they give stellar book reviews, but I feel like I am sitting around in the perfect book club when I am listening to BOP- there’s talk of books, but also lots of other must-listen to chatter- from the newest instagram obsessions, how to be financially savvy/independent (while also living in an adult sorority house with your BFFs) to so many other topics. In this time when we can’t gather together, I have suggested BOP to my close friends so we can share in the book recs together and also in the good company and conversations. Thanks Grace and Becca!

A Podcast Full of Lessons and Laughs
Okay. I’ll be honest. At first, when I listened to the podcast, the episode I picked was one in which Grace’s (I believe) weekly low was that her trip to Paris got cancelled. Obviously a significant issue, and one that I, too, would be devastated by, but at the time, I thought it was a bit tone deaf given everything else going on. I was thinking, “Really? You’re not getting to go to Paris and have to instead stay in your incredible apartment in the city? Come on.” I now realize how *terribly* mistaken I was to judge her on this one lament which she had every right to make. She wasn’t negating the struggles of others—that is a big lesson I’ve applied to my life—she was upset about something she had worked hard to pay for and was excited to do. I’m ashamed that was my first reaction. Now, I have been bingeing episodes nonstop, especially their guest interviews. Yes, their lives are literal goals, and sometimes feel unattainable or unrelatable. However, Grace and Becca make every effort to recognize their privilege, and you can tell that they are truly down to earth, kind-hearted people. They have worked SO hard to accomplish what they have, and that is admirable. Anyway, this is a fun podcast that also challenges you to see things in a new light (and it’s made me value myself more, quite honestly. I am worth investing in, and this podcast has helped me realize that your wellness and mental/emotional/physical/spiritual health is as important as advancing your career). Book lovers, this is for you. Career women, this is for you. College girls unsure of the direction of your life, this is for you. Women who want to expand their horizons and learn to have a voice for those who may not, this is for you.

Bad on Paper has been one of the podcasts I’ve listened to most during the Coronavirus pandemic. It feels like I’m listening to two of my friends talk, and it’s a perfect mix of educational and lighthearted. While I haven’t read many of the book club books “on time,” when I go back and read them later I always enjoy them. Thanks for making a great podcast, Grace and Becca!

Wow, what ride this last year has been, for everyone. I feel so lucky to have had Becca and Grace by my side, or in my ear as the case may be, to take the time to step away from the horrors of the world around me and to hear something good and enlightening. These two charmers are inspiring, insightful and can always provide a good laugh. I’ve been an avid listener and fan of theirs for a long time, and I continue to be surprised by their stories. I feel like they’ve provided a community filled with love, strength and knowledge, in a time that we need all of these things the most. It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to tune in to their podcast and know that there are likeminded women, out there in the world. I can not recommend this podcast ENOUGH! It’s at the top of my list, and heart. My weeks always a little bit brighter when I listen to these wonderful ladies! Also, I have a weak spot for Tyrion! He’s like a power source all on his own. I am looking forward to many more podcast episodes and I hope you are too! Thanks Grace and Becca for making the world a better place and for always bringing new books into my life!

I stumbled across this pod while in quarantine and immediately was hooked. While I’ve skipped most of the book club episodes (my tastes vary from Grace and Becca), I love the interviews and conversations. It’s easy listening about topics that interest me (authors, women in business, fashion, friendship, careers, Grossy Pelosi), and I enjoy the community they’ve built around it!

I’m so behind on their book club but the great thing about it is you can save them and listen to them whenever you get a chance to read! There’s still weekly podcasts you can listen to if you don’t read the books! They have such great recommendations and have such a wide range of topics to talk about. 10/10 you should listen!!!!!

I love Bad on Paper. My love for reading is what initially drew me to listen to the podcast. But what I found is that, Becca and Grace are two extremely genuine people who deeply care for the world and it’s people. They don’t only talk about books but how to help out by donating to causes, suggesting small business to buy from, and bringing awareness to things. The fact that they talk about books is just the cherry on top!

It’s my favorite podcast and I’ve also become the go-to book chooser for my book club because of all of their great book recommendations!

I absolutely LOVE listening to this podcast. I like that there’s a wide range of topics, they support small BIPOC business, and they’re just relatable! Their banter at the beginning makes me truly feel like I’m just listening to two of my friends chit chat and I love it! Can’t recommend enough 🤗

Such a treat every week
I have been listening to Bad on Paper throughout quarantine and it’s such a nice escape every week. I was in a bit of a reading rut before discovering this and it has helped me get back into a reading routine. Even when I don’t like the book it feels like sitting around with old friends.m each week. And I am often often influenced by the recommendations way more than my wallet likes.

I just can’t.
About six months ago I came to the podcast for book discussions... but it ends up just being the typical influencer feel... talking about products soooo much. It’s fatiguing.

My weekly highlight!
This podcast has gotten me back into reading but is also so fun to listen to the chitter chatter of their lives! I’ve started following Grace and Becca on IG as well. It’s been so nice this year particularly because it feels like chatting with my girlfriends. Highly recommend!

Reading and lifestyle perfection!
I started listening to Grace and Becca at the beginning of the pandemic. Participating in their book clubs helped reignite my old hobby of reading that I hadn’t done in 4-5 years due to graduate school and life. I not only love their book recommendations, but also their model of adult female friendship and lifestyle recommendations and fun as well.

I LOVE that they share what they’re reading each week — so many great book recs! If you’re looking for some enjoyable listening, you won’t regret this podcast - very delightful! 👏❤️

This is a fun, chatty podcast hosted by two best friends. Honestly, the books are the least interesting content to me (I have different taste for the most part) but I come back for their fun banter, good recommendations, good interviews and career insights.

No longer subscribing
I’ve decided to unsubscribe after some pretty insensitive comments by Grace,she was quoting her friend, in the Holiday episode about an actor. I thought they would have recognized how hurtful they could be and would have edited them out. Very disappointed.

I’ve started listening to BOP the last two months or so and wish I had started years ago! I love listening to Grace and Becca chat, I feel like I’m hanging out with my friends weekly. They give great recommendations, from brands to TV shows to ways to take care of yourself. They also bring on a variety of guests and cover many different topics. Highly recommend giving them a listen!

My internet besties
I’ve been a follower of Grace’s blog for almost a decade and was so excited when she launched BoP with Becca. I listen every week and feel like I’m hanging out with my two best friends. I always get the best product recommendations and book picks from them. I trust their recommendations implicitly! They also have amazing guests and it’s always a great mix of low and high brow conversations.

I feel like Grace and Becca are my best friends (haha). Quarantine as a work-from-home mom has been a little lonely and isolating, so this podcast is always a bright spot in my week. The best book recommendations and just life recommendations in general. Also love that they don’t shy away from talking about politics!

Out Of Touch
They both complain a lot which is very tone deaf. All of their “problems” are incredibly white and it seems embarrassing to be talking about. They are rude to their followers on Instagram, complaining when people ask the same questions repeatedly. Call celebrities ugly....just.....very tone deaf and embarrassing. I’ve listened to 6 episodes, trying to give them chance after chance, but I just can’t hang with these incredibly privileged girls.

I love them! I’m so glad I found this podcast. The only thing that bothers me is that I don’t think Grace and Becca understand each other’s humor. I think Becca is so funny and the jokes never seem to land for Grace. I can’t tell if she understands sarcasm.

Maybe if I were rich?
I’ve followed both Becca and Grace for a while now. I listened to a few podcasts at the beginning of the year while commuting. I tried to listen to the recent episode when Becca interviewed Grace. It honestly was a bit insufferable. I didn’t remember them seeming so out of touch earlier this year, but it really comes through in the most recent episodes. Especially Grace. Maybe we’re just in different places in our lives, but I can’t relate to them and think they are way more privileged than they think they are. And the Olay sponsorship seems inauthentic for someone who regularly buys $400 face cream. Maybe if I were rich I’d enjoy their content more. They do seem nice, and their friendship seems genuine.

Wow, Grace’s vocal fry is horrible, like she is trying to sound like a valley girl but failing miserably. She’s also mean to Becca!!! Charleston does not need any more NYers coming down here and gentrifying everything and driving up costs of everything.

Premise is great... maybe I need to start from the beginning
I started with a more recent episode and the first ten minutes were the hosts mentioning one product after another. Are these all sponsors?Maybe I’m missing some coherent story from earlier episodes. I think a basic intro for new listeners would be really helpful.

Grace and Becca are so interesting to listen to every week. I’ve found so many new books (and authors) through their show and it has reignited my love and passion for reading. I’ve also tried quite a few new skincare products after listening to all of the different episodes. Thanks for reminding me how important reading is to my happiness and allowing me to reclaim one of my most true loves.

This has actually been my favorite podcast to listen for for quite some time. I heard Grace and Becca on the Girls Gotta Eat podcast (also recommend) back in the summer and I’ve been hooked since. I even gone back to listen to older episodes. I love to read and this is just like a book club with your girlfriends.

You guys are awesome! Iv finally been able to catch up on episodes which is a bitter sweet joy because I’m finally caught up, but now I have to wait for episodes and can’t just listen none stop all day! But I know you two love candles and I like to keep a couple in the freezer and just swap them with ones I have out already and just rotate because they burn SO much lower and it saves your favorite candles for at least twice as long I promise you this is an actual LIFE HACK that’s work 💕 sending love stay well, C from Wisconsin!

I was sorely disappointed by the book club I tried to put together because no one ever wanted to talk about the book! Then lo and behold, I found this podcast and it’s the book club I always wanted.

Favorite book besties!
I always love listening to Grace and Becca! Especially since I’ve been working from home, it’s like having two best friends or coworkers to keep me company. I’m an avid reader, so I love hearing about what they’re reading and which books they recommend. My dream job is to become a fiction author and I am currently writing my first real novel. I find it so helpful to listen to their book reviews because it gives me great ideas to improve my own writing. Sometimes I imagine, what would Grace and Becca say about this character or plot twist? It’s great motivation to keep me writing! I also enjoy hearing about both of their jobs and what it’s really like to live in New York. They’re both incredibly fun, smart women that can talk about a wide range of topics and present them in an interesting, relatable way. Definitely worth a listen!! Thank you so much for always making fun episodes! You two are the best! :)

I love Grace and Becca they are real and relatable. They explore so many different topics in a refreshingly smart and balanced way. I always feel like I’m talking with friends when I listen to them. It’s also helped me rediscover my love of reading after two year of grad school reading burnout. They will give you SO many good recs and have you shopping a bit more but it’s worth it.

Girlfriend time at it’s finest!!!
I’m long overdue to leave Grace and Becca a review- honestly because I just now figured out how to do so. BUT I’ve been an avid listener for more than a year now and absolutely love and adore each episode they produce!!! The books, the content, the guests- all contain so much depth and range and fun!!! I also interact on Grace’s blog The Stripe which is a super great collection of beauty, advice, and book recs as well. I recently moved cities and also reached out to their Facebook book club group and immediately made some great contacts and felt so welcomed in their community! Seriously the only way this podcast is going to go is up!

Long time listener and lover! You guys seemed a little unprepared for the last bad on politics ep and also pretty one sided! Totally promote raising awareness for what you believe in but at least acknowledge what your views are. All your politics eps are v left sided. You def aren’t interviewing people on both sides of the aisle but you also don’t speak openly on your podcast about politics so it’s a bit confusing. If you want to take a stand .. do it!! But don’t try to be appease everyone in your main eps and go left in the politics eps... pretty lame!

I’ve always been an avid reader, but when quarantine started, I couldn’t get myself to focus on reading at all. I started listening to Bad On Paper after the first couple months of quarantine, in hopes that it would help me feel excited about books again, and I’ve been back to my usual reading habits ever since. Thank you for the recommendations and enthusiasm - it’s made such a difference for me! 😊

I have this podcast to thank for my renewed love of reading
Love this podcast! It feels like I’m hanging out with friends and is the perfect backdrop to housework and mindless tasks. More than anything, I’m grateful to this podcast for encouraging me to read more books. Becca and Grace discuss books they’re reading every episode, which leads to an extensive personal “To Read” list. They are so good about working reading into their daily lives that I now read much more regularly and have stopped making excuses along the lines of “I’m too busy to read.” Thank you Becca and Grace!

Carly epitomizes white privilege
Update: this is still one of my favorite podcasts but it’s disappointing to see Carly as a guest AGAIN when there are SO many interesting BIPOC voices or actual creators out there. She epitomizes everything frustrating about white privilege and I’m genuinely confused as to why they think we would want to listen to her drone on and on about her wedding and fiancé. Did I mention this is the second time she’s been on and the last episode, she spent so much of it talking about her ex?? In the context BLM and the global pandemic, it’s annoying to hear her complain about her privileged, wealthy, petty life. In the future I hope Grace and Becca can distinguish between bringing friends on as guests and actual guests of value.

An excuse to finally use my library card!
I love listening to these two talk about pretty much everything, but their description of books has me hooked. I have made a promise to myself to read more for fun. Since I am both a student and a teacher, I often don’t make time to read things I actually enjoy and now I have a list of reserved books at the library much longer than I can probably get to. I can’t wait for all the wonderful books they recommend!!

Easy, fun, relatable
I started listening to BOP over a year ago while home on maternity leave. I have no idea how - I had never even listened to podcasts. I haven’t missed an episode since and have read so many more books, taken better care of my skin, and found so many great people to follow. Carving out the time to listen is like finding time to catch up with your girlfriends when you aren’t able to.

Every week they share amazing book recommendations, interviews with great guests, their highs/lows and other great topics etc. During this pandemic, they have been a bright spot.

Love this podcast! Since I’m a bit younger than the hosts, I feel like Becca and Grace are my cool older sister with the best life advice, tricks of the trade, and stories that remind me everything is going to be okay.

I think of Grace and Becca as friends
I love listening to these two. I always learn something. It’s been so much fun to join their book club, too, although I don’t read every selection. I mostly just enjoy the experience of them talking about their lives.

The Cool Girls!
I look forward to listening to Becca and Grace every week; I feel so accomplished after listening to an episode. They’re such a great duo who are into everything I love; books, beauty, NYC, and etc. I love the seamless conversations; chock full of substance and girly chat; I feel like I’m literally at the table with them. I’ve learned so much from them; this is the only podcast I wake up to listen to while getting ready for work. And if I’m not done with the episode; I have them blaring through the speakers of my car-lol And my daughter loves the intro music.-😊 Bad On Paper is the master class for 30+ club.

Was hoping for a more thoughtful discussion for a book club
I found this pod after hearing the women guest spot on GGE and started with the book club pods of a few books I’d recently read. Their account and discussion of Verity, which I was excited to hear because of how crazy the story is and how many different interpretations there could be, was disorganized and shallow and they even acknowledged how dumb the convo was at the end so...? Will give it one more ep to see if it’s an anomaly...

Something to look forward to each week!
I have been listening to Bad on Paper for awhile and follow Grace and Becca on Instagram, and I really can’t recommend this podcast highly enough. I really look forward to hearing each episode every Wednesday and I’ve found this to be therapeutic especially during quarantine. I have found many good books from listening to the podcast (Verity, for example!) and also like to hear about Grace and Becca’s opinions/advice on life, especially as someone in my earlyish 20s. It’s the whole package of lifestyle/books/just will make you happy listening 😊

The Podcast you want (& should) to listen to daily!
Becca & Grace are basically your virtual best friends! Listening to them on a weekly basis is like catching up with your two best friends. They are so fun and down to earth. Even when discussing more difficult topics (i.e. how to ask for a raise!), they are honest, relatable, and have so much confidence. I have been binging all the episodes I’ve missed during Quarantine and can’t get enough!

Favorite podcast
Becca and Grace are delightful human beings. Authentic and down to earth. The variety of guests and topics are great. I always learn about a new-to-me skincare, beauty or lifestyle product that I can trust has been highly vetted by the hosts, prior to sharing their thoughts. One of the reasons that they are a delight for the ears is that you always feel better after listening. When they share their highs and lows it’s in a way that is incredibly uplifting; many of us are feeling the same ways. These ladies are smart and speak well, yet not stiff, always fun to listen to. They compliment each other because they have similar interests yet different preferences for a wide variety of books, retail, habits, etc. You get a true glimpse into their lives as 30-something entrepreneurs and New Yorkers. If I lived in Brooklyn I’d want to friends with both ladies.

The best kind of book club
I’m an avid reader & super introvert. I love reading because it helps me escape from the world. I’ve always wanted to join a book club to have recommendations and hear other people’s opinions, but I’ve never loved the idea of having to talk about the book myself. Bad on Paper is the perfect way to join a book club without having the pressure of having to socialize. I’m so glad to have “met” Becca & Grace!

Feeding the Monster!
BOP is the best podcast if you’re looking for internet besties. The interviews are with fantastic guests and the “just us” episodes are witty and so enjoyable. If you’re looking for the best book, beauty, and just life recommendations - this is the podcast for you.

Lovely Interviews!
I first started listening after following Grace’s blog/Insta. I’ve loved listening to these women through quarantine - been a great way to chill & get away from screens while I walk or cook. I love the interviews they do but have also enjoyed a passive book club opportunity. I recommend to all my friends & they love it, too!

So good!
Like sitting around chatting with your two best friends, this podcast is so so perfect! Covering everything from books to beauty and a few political episodes, this feels like the perfect podcast for a 20 or 30 something year old woman who is just trying to find the best self tanner or get educated on the best books for just about everything. I love listening to Grace and Becca and wish I was IRL friends with them!

Got me back into reading!!
After listening to a few episodes about older books I’d already read, I got inspired to read their other book recommendations and haven’t stopped picking up new books left and right. It was only a matter of time before I was hooked on their non-book content as well. Love love love this podcast find

A Must Listen for Book & Beauty Lovers!
I’m a HUGE fan! Listening to BOP is like having a lovely conversation with your best girlfriends. I always listen to it where I can easily take notes because I write down every book, Instagram handle, show, movie, podcast and beauty product recommendation they share. Many things I’ve come to love I’ve discovered through this podcast - especially books and beauty products! Becca and Grace are the kinda girls you would love to be friends with in real life - they’re genuine, smart, funny, and always discuss relevant and relatable topics for women. You won’t be disappointed! Keep up the amazing work and thanks for brightening up my Wednesday’s! :)

I could not adore Becca and Grace and this podcast more. Wednesdays are always a highlight because of new episodes! I literally can picture myself on a couch with Becca and grace, sipping coffee or wine and catching up. Love the book recs, highs, lows, obsessions, and content. Totally relatable to my season of life. Keep up the great work!

Consistently the best podcast!
After a period where many were not downloading as many podcasts, it was the complete opposite for me. I have walked more miles during the quarantine and I could not wait each for the next episode of Bad on Paper to come out. I would stop listening to other podcasts, but never this one! These ladies are so real and genuine.

Fun, well-rounded listen!
I found Bad On Paper during quarantine and now have been listening to old episodes as well! Becca and Grace are a few years older than I am, but I thought they were my age (31). Everything they talk about is just so relatable for women of so many ages! I love that they discuss such a wide variety of topics, and have great guests for deep dives on interesting topics! (I found them after searching for any podcast episodes where Alyssa Mastromonacco was a guest, to fill my quarantine podcast list!) I now follow the ladies on Instagram, and they both have been outspoken about important issues going on in this country. I also love their focus on self care and health. They seem like lovely women, and I’m so to have found BOP!

Feels like conversations with friends!
I love this podcast — the book reviews are honest and trustworthy; the conversation is smart, hilarious, and relatable; and the authentic friendship between Becca and Grace extends to the audience. I’m a bookworm, but I love their extended range of topics just as much, if not more, so there is something here for everyone!

Girls Night in a Podcast
A well curated mix of interesting interviews, beauty and fashion recommendations, culture commentary and BOOKS. The complimentary Facebook group is a good place to land for recommendations and community. They have scored leading celebs and some of my favorite episodes are the casual ones where they chat. Must listen are the salary negotiation and career ones. Ask for what you want and ask for more money. Fun and never preachy.

A necessary distraction during quarantine
Started listening to this pod a couple of months before quarantine. It’s been a great distraction ever since and I appreciate how honest Grace and Becca are about how they’re doing right now too! Great recommendations for products and other entertainment as well. Really appreciate that they continue to produce content during tough times.

Amazing Podcast! 10/10 would recommend!!
I am so happy I stumbled across this podcast. It is the first one I’ve listened to where I actually hear and listen to everything the hosts say. I never get bored & love all of their recommendations! I’m binging all of the episodes while cleaning, taking walks, grocery shopping, etc. which makes this pandemic not as bad so thank you Grace & Becca! 🥰🙌🏼

I love tuning in to hear Grace and Becca catch up about their lives and recent reads. Their podcasts always put me into a good mood and I feel inspired to read more. Participating in the book club is fun, and it’s also great to go back and retroactively listen to a book club episode about something read recently. Highly recommend this podcast
