Boring
I used to love this show but it’s just the same thing again and again now. Adam goes on about his relationship status. Katy listens and asks too many questions and colbie is just silent ..??

Painful
This podcast hasn’t been enjoyable for almost a year now. What really ruins the show for myself and others is Katy, it’s clear the character development of the show was to center Katy and have Adam and Colbie as side characters to her “influencer life”. When in reality Katy’s life falls quite fall and short of glamorous and barely more than meek and boring. Her desperate attempt at claiming she has a hard and demanding career while on a podcast with two career orienteered professionals is so pathetic, esp needing to buy a block or whatever for her phone. She has no stories to share yet dictates the flow of the podcast and is constantly cutting off colbie and others while speaking. It’s been refreshing to see Colby’s and Adam get closer as roommates and the progression of their dating stories but also careers in nyc. It’s clear that they’ve gotten closer while Kathy locked herself up like rapunzel in a castle awaiting her only storyline (her British boyfriend) to come home from work. I think if the decision to end the podcast doesn’t come soon then you all should reflect, Adam should be more involved in the layout, have a recorded intro so that doesn’t distract you all 20 mins in, colbie hold her ground more and finish thoughts and don’t let herself be spoken over. Katy stop speaking, please think about how or why the most interesting thing you had to share about a New Year’s Eve wedding was jack getting a pair of underwear. Katy is grandma- personified, very boring, please find a hobby or go back to grad school or learn a language the fake attempt at intelligence through your randomly generated vocabulary sounds like Chat gbt. Is there even an email for submissions and no one is writing in or are you all not just reading them? Hope this doesn’t sound too harsh it’s just gotten too much

Fun and Uplifting
My favorite podcast for some humor while walking in the park!

Bully energy
In early episodes, I found that the three gave really helpful, nuanced dating advice. I don’t feel that as much now. What stands out more to me is Katy often putting Adam down. Katy seems to wait to jump on any of Adam’s minor mistakes—mispronunciations, mixing up cultural references, feigning total shock that he may not share a cultural touchstone from childhood, etc. It comes across as mean but also almost definitely comes from jealousy of Adam’s intelligence in areas that actually matter. There is also a lot to say about Katy’s hyper fixation on worrying about how people might perceive certain actions that really don’t matter at all. I think this shows narcissism more than empathy or perfectionism as she claims.

Here for Adam’s stories but Katie makes it difficult to stay. Drop the act, girl.

Please stop the white lies
KATY you embarrassed me at work for your random dumbness. You said that Michaels was going bankrupt, and then doubled down saying your boyfriend was in the industry and confirmed it (passing along this white lie for no reason). I listened to the episode, and then i used Michaels and what was supposed to be a passing example in a work conversation… LOL Michaels is actually thriving, and buying their competitors…and not going bankrupt. I know this is so petty but KATY I THOUGHT YOU WERE THIS SMART GIRL AND YOU MADE ME LOOK DUMB IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. Katy girl I’m still gonna listen I just can’t trust your general knowledge LOL.

Miss dating content / story time
I want to start out by saying I love your trio and friendship, you guys always can make me laugh. But I haven’t enjoyed listening more recently as random topics and pop culture take up most of the time. Would love to hear more about dating or hear your answers to dating related advice questions. Will definitely keep listening, but hoping for an adjustment💗

Podcast lost its purpose
This started out as a fun podcast where we would get updates on mostly Katy and Adam's dating life. Colbie rarely shared, but hearing from Katy and Adam was so fun! Now this podcast doesn't feel like it has a direction. Instead of dating updates, it just feels like aimless chit chat without a topic or purpose. Even though Katie is in a relationship, it would be nice to hear small updates about her relationship since she no longer goes on dates. We rarely get updates about Adam's dating life and when we do, we can go weeks without an update. Colbie still doesn't really share. I really hope this podcast returns to its origins because it used to be one of my favorites! I miss it so much!

Miss the old pod
Not really a dating podcast anymore. But it’s still a worthwhile listen if you want a relaxing chat with friends.

What happened to this show?
Used to love hearing dating stories and tips from Katy and Adam. Colbie never really gave any dating stories which was odd but at least there was Katy and Adam. Now that Katy is in a relationship and Adam is hardly there, this is no longer a dating podcast. I wish Colbie would contribute more.

I truly feel like I am in this trio! I absolutely love tuning in every Friday morning with a coffee/ during my walks and listen to my internet friends chat and catch up. Thanks for making such an easy, enjoyable, and relatable podcast girls and Adam! Keep doing what you’re doing

Fave Podcast! Have 1 request….
My favorite podcast and such a fun listen when I want to unplug from the stress of real life! My only feedback is it recently has become more like “the Adam show” for the last few months. Love Adam so much (you’re hilarious! <3)but I feel like Katie and Colbie don’t get a word in anymore or don’t share their own life updates - the episodes have become just about Adam. Even if Katie and colbie don’t have dating updates, would love to hear job updates, life updates, etc! :) Also, Adam I know you love the word “objectively” but plz stop using it as a filler word or just use it in the right context haha. Much love though, you guys are the best!

NOT a dating podcast
These three talk about anything BUT dating. Look elsewhere for a dating podcast.
That Girl Allison
Lost the plot
I used to love this podcast so much I would tune in every single week. I understand that life changes, but I feel like the podcast now has shifted more towards discussion of random things and pop culture and has not at all focused on dating (except for adam occasionally).The podcast either needs to rebrand completely or they need to get back to dating as a main source of content bc right now it is a bit painful to listen to.

Bombing Iran and laughing..:.
Really lost me at the segment of them talking about traveling right after the US started bombing Iran and how it would affect their travel days….. do you have any idea how crazy that sounded ? What about the millions of people literally getting blown up with our tax money ….? Tone deaf. I know this isn’t a political podcast, but maybe just don’t mention anything of substance if you are going to be completely insensitive.

annoyed at yall
Everyone has a flop era it’s ok
So Katy used to come with most of the dating stories, sometimes Adam and colbie gives 0 details. So now that Katy is taken and the other two seem to never been focused on dating it’s just their life updates. Love them and will continue listening, but let’s get back to why we’re making the pod ok. Also loved when that girl (Jordan??) came on and told her whole workplace dating drama. Maybe more of that if people aren’t in dating eras.

Just friends chatting :)
This is a friend’s pod, nothing more, don’t expect something different. Not too many ads, everyone brings something unique to the discussions. Of course nothing is profound, it’s literally just friends talking!!! I would love if Colbie would talk a bit more about her life, she seems so graceful and I like to hear her experiences dating, in work, friends & so on! Especially since she has a “normal” job, she just feels relatable!

Eh
I honestly really enjoy this podcast and all the exciting stories and life updates! I think each person balances each other out. I just wish I could hear more of Colbie and Adam sometimes. I love Katy don’t get me wrong, but I think she takes over the podcast too much and I love hearing Colbie and wish she had the opportunity to speak more!! Edit: Katy interrupting again! I want Adam or Colbie to be able to finish their stories!!

Simply the best
This is the only podcast I look forward to listen to every Friday. As a die hard fan of Sex and the City and the city itself I feel this is a younger audio version of SATC. Love you guys keep doing great!

the lack of self awareness is so off putting
Shouldn’t have expected much more from three privileged people egging each other on

Random topics and no dating
I have loved listening to this podcast for about 2 years now, but lately it’s been hard to get through. Guys, please talk about dating and life updates! I feel like every episode is talking about things that have happened to yall 10+ years ago, or pop culture references that have long passed when the episode goes live. I’m only writing this bc I know the potential this pod has and I miss it!! Please plan more things out so you’re not just rambling

Love!!
After having to go a week without my Friday morning ritual of Match Made, I had to finally leave a review! I love hearing about your adventures and enjoy the banter! For the haters, yes, Katy yaps but as a fellow yapper, I really can’t hold it against her. Thanks for always making my Fridays!🫶🏼

wasted potential :(
This podcast was initially off to an amazing start! They would all 3 go on dates and have stories to tell each week, it felt like a version of sex & the city! Now all they do is talk about how Katy lost her keys for 30 minutes out of the ep and no one has any sort of dates or love interests to report back on. I’ve listened from the start and continued to, hoping things would turn back around but it’s getting so boring :(. no matches in manhattan have been made in a year aside from katy & her british bf.

Obsessed
My absolute favorite pod. I could listen to you three talk all day. Adam is hilarious, Katy is quirky and reminds me of myself, and Colbie’s anecdotes are life-giving. Love it!
thatssoriles
Love this podcast!
Love listening while commuting/working, but it’s becoming harder to listen to when Katy is constantly interrupting (whether it’s to relate to the topic, or look up a definition of something, etc.)… Katy I love ya, but please work on listening to your co-hosts and not responding/interrupting so quickly.

Katy Is Insufferable
I used to like this show but ever since Katy started dating her ~~BRitIsH~~ boyfriend, Katy has become insufferable. She always interrupts Adam and Colbie. Always wants to make it about her and her bf. This podcast has gone downhill and it’s due to Katy.

BEST POD EVER!!!!
I count down the days until Friday for a new episode!! They truly never miss and I feel like I’m on the phone with my besties

Take a beat Katy
I know Katy wants to relate and add something to this podcast but her interrupting her friends to talk about herself, her romanticized perspectives (that come off as delusions) or her relationship that is still in the honeymoon phase & younger than a full term pregnancy, she sounds so self righteous and annoying. Not everything is relatable and thats okay. Just sit down and eat your food

STOP INTERRUPTING
let your cohosts speak

Love it but Katy constantly interrupting
I generally really like the pod but lately Katy has kind of ruined it for me. She constantly interrupts Adam and Colbie’s fun stories and rambles on about literally nothing. It’s at the point where I fast forward every time she speaks. She also makes strangely mean and pessimistic comments about the men they talk about? Like why are you not happy for your friends lol weird behavior
Gigglygirl65
Katy, STOP interrupting
Katy’s constant interrupting of Colbie and Adam’s stories makes it so hard to listen. I’d like to hear more from them without Katy’s constant butting in and judgement.

Katy pls give Colbie and Adam a chance to speak
I do like the podcast and it’s a fun listen. I just wish Katy would listen to colbie and Adam and allow them the same amount of time for their stories as they allow for hers. It’s not a great dynamic when she interrupts and goes on tangents in the middle of them speaking and telling a story that is fun & interesting. Also the amount of digs and negative comments Katy makes when colbie and Adam are sharing their stories is upsetting. For example, when Colbie is talking about how a guy from love island liked her DM she responds “joking” but honestly serious about how it was a pity like since she unsent previous DMs. I’ve had to stop listening multiple times bc of Katy and I’m not leaving this review to be mean I just honestly think the podcast would be so much better if she listened and engaged as much as she talks.

So much potential ruined by Katy
This podcast has so much potential, it’s always fun to listen to dating stories and feel like you’re just hanging out with friends catching up but Katy makes the podcast unbearable. She constantly interrupts, talks over, redirects when the conversation is not about her or Jack. She is incapable of letting Colbie talk interrupted.

Feel good podcast!!
Love listening to the banter between these three and hearing stories about their lives in NYC. Always waiting for Friday just for a new episode. Highly recommend!
cassi_7
One of my favorite podcasts
Good chemistry/banter amongst everyone. Even if you aren’t dating and will never even step foot in NYC it still feels relatable just because it feels like listening to friends talking and they are pretty normal. Also I lol at so many things Colbie says because I relate to her random neurotic thoughts.

We get it, you have a boyfriend
I've listened to every episode and generally enjoy the content. However, Katy being in a relationship has taken over almost every conversation. She relates everything to Jack, even when it doesn't make sense. While it's great to share your perspective, talking over the single people on a dating podcast to tell the same story about your bf isn't fun to listen to. I'd like to hear more from Colbie and her dating experiences. Adam's stories are always so fun! I just wish there were more balance. The snide comments from Katy about being so grateful to be off Hinge and in a relationship need to stop. It's awesome she's so happy and in love, but I'd rather hear more pointed stories about her relationship experience (him meeting the family was great!). We know how y'all met! TLDR: Focus on dating and have more balance between the hosts instead of Katy talking over people and trying to relate everything to Jack.

A fun podcast
Lots of fun banter! Good chemistry between the trio. A great way to start your weekend!
What’s my nickname?
Love y’all! (especially Colbie)
I’m obsessed with Colbie! I obviously love Katy and Adam too, but I love Colbie’s stories and takes on everything. Loving hearing more from her in the new year!!
sarahtalena
love this pod!
I’m a recent listener, and match made quickly rose to the top of my podcast rotation. Katy, Colbie and Adam are hilarious and never fail to brighten my day. If they made merch with little cutie match boxes I would totally buy and rep the pod! xoxo

What a weird thing to say
I understand Katy is a late bloomer and very inexperienced in relationships, but why would she say on a podcast that thousands of people listen to that she’s worried people won’t think her boyfriend is cute? Imagine someone you’re dating says that about you on a PUBLIC PLATFORM. That is so mean. Katy that’s an inside thought - share it with your close friends if you just but the fact you’re even thinking about it screams insecurity. Get help.

The absolute BEST podcast
I listen to at least one podcast every single day. Match Made in Manhattan is my FAVORITE podcast. I look forward to listening every Friday. I have listened to every episode and wish there was more!!! These three are so funny and know how to bring joy to my day❤️

My favorite Friday ritual
as a life long New Yorker, I love listening every week (and jotting down new restaurants to try). You can tell this podcast is a result of a true friendship and most often feels like you’re just “part of the gang” wishing Match Made alllll the success so they can keep making episodes forever :)

Favorite podcast!!
Absolute favorite podcast I look forward to hearing these 3 every Friday

Love, Need more
I could listen to you three talk for hours. My heart breaks when I realize you’ve skipped a Friday upload; literal dagger to the heart. Currently relistening to old eps. Also happy Colbie is given more space to speak 🫶🏼 Never stop this podcast!!

Delusional and I love it
As a west coaster, I’m absolutely obsessed with these delulu city girls and I can’t get enough of them. All 3 have never been in a serious relationsjho, ever, but have a relationship advice segment every week. Katy thinks every dating situation should turn out like a teen rom-com, Colbie seems terrified to date, and Adam just wants to find a rich hott top. They live incredibly privileged lives that are wholly unrelatable and it is vvv entertaining for the desperate lol factor of it all.

I’m a newer listener and I love it so much! I am going to go back and listen to older episodes but I think their 2023 episodes is their best work. Definitely going to be a weekly listener!
