Bitch Bible

Jackie Schimmel has been hosting Bitch Bible since 2015, making it one of the longer-running podcasts in the young women space. The original pitch was unfiltered commentary on sex, millennial struggles, pop culture, and social faux pas, and while the show has naturally evolved as Jackie got married and had a son named Clyde, the unapologetic voice remains intact. Episodes drop weekly and typically feature Jackie monologuing about whatever is happening in her life -- home renovation disasters, observations about LA culture, stories about her grandmother Gloria and her handyman Andy -- interspersed with sharp takes on celebrity news and social trends. The 4.6-star rating from over 14,500 reviews reflects a loyal audience that has grown up alongside Jackie. What makes the show work is her willingness to say exactly what she thinks without running it through a PR filter first. She is funny in a specific, acerbic way that will not appeal to everyone, but her fans are devoted. The show has shifted from its original dating-and-nightlife focus toward more lifestyle and motherhood content, which tracks with where Jackie is in her life. Some listeners miss the earlier edge, while others appreciate the evolution. If you want a podcast that sounds like your most opinionated friend giving you the unedited version of her week, Bitch Bible has been doing that longer than most.
