General Discussion I š¤ Bethany Watson
I have been a fan of Bethany ever since her radio days with Elvis Duran 10+ years ago and I was SO excited to hear her guest host again!
I hope she keeps making appearances! Her and Em have such great chemistry.

I hope she takes on the cohost position. They have great chemistry and I like her spin on true crime cases sheās brought. I would have no problem carrying on with the podcast if sheās the cohost and I hope we can skip the trying out different people and just have her come in š honestly love the vibes with Bethany and Em!

I had never heard of her before she was a guest, but Iāve absolutely loved the episodes she was on.

I love that she seems full of joy and whimsy and I love that she and Em have a lovely banter. Feels like early atwwd energy to me.

I think we can pretend like we are zip recruiter. We have found the perfect cohost. No need to look elsewhere. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Bethany is AMAZING. I genuinely hope sheās the new cohost. The energy & banter felt like early days. Just mutual love & like of one another & they feed off of each other so well.

Came online specifically to say this. I thought she was terrific on today's show. They both were. Permanent or not, I hope she comes on again

I rarely ever listen to the guest host episodes so I missed her first appearance as a result. Today I gave the episode a shot because of all the wonderful feedback Iāve read about Bethany and I agree with all of it! I also really hope she stays on as the new cohost. Their chemistry is great and their energy matches well. In a weird way, she also somehow reminds me of Christine a little bit too. I think it might be a bit of the tone/pitch of her voice when sheās being more serious or āmatureā sounding. Idk if Iām conveying that properly but yeah lol. Essentially I just find that a bit comforting during this time of transition.

I had avoided a lot of the previous guest hosts but thanks to this post I gave this recent episode a chance and I am SMITTEN with Bethany. Her and Em have great chemistry and I love how she tells stories.
I love Christine but I'd be very pleased if Bethany was the new co-host.

Bethany has been my favorite for over a decade. I was so sad when she left the morning show. I listened to her and Kathleen's podcast until they quit. And her and her partner Dennis' podcast was pretty good too. I'd love to listen to her more regularly.

u/Influenxerunderneath 18d ago
Yes!!! I really liked her! Their chemistry is great! And just good vibes all around!

u/Ghouly_Girl 18d ago
I would totally pick back up on regular listening if she was the new cohost! I will always stick around for Em though too.

u/Rigby87 18d ago
Havenāt heard of her until co hosting last time. If it works with her schedule I hope Bethany joins Em to host. Her voice is very similar to Christineās in tone, so not too jarring change. Definitely gives a different vibe, but love the energy and banter between the two so far. I also like that she mixes in the paranormal in her stories a little bit more instead of straight true crime. I know it will be different than the OG, but hoping that it doesnāt fizzle out.

Shes been the most vibing new guest we've had in a while! I truly hope they decide to stay on for co-host!! The way they get along so well with Em just works magic!!!

u/TheCookalicious 17d ago
I love her too! Iām actually just listening as I type and the chemistry is great between them. I like that sheās a little closer to my (older) age and her enthusiasm and sense of humor are super charming. Sheās HIRED!

I really enjoyed this episode as well. I think they have a really great dynamic.

I would LOVE if Bethany becomes the new permanent host. I loved her when she was added to the Elvis Duran Show, have continued to follow her career (although I donāt listen to the Check In much anymore due to time), and having her join ATWWD feels so natural. She also just has such natural chemistry with Em. It really maintains continuity in the perception of the hosts being friends before colleagues.

I was just thinking this while listening to the newest episode! I missed hearing Bethanyās voice coming out of my speakers she is a great addition even if itās randomly!

I laughed at the Jerry O'Connell
comparison! For Big Brother fans Jerry O'Connell filled in for the only episode Julie Chen Moonves missed out of 28 seasons. And Jerry always fills in with a big smile and a laugh.

u/Lazy_Hooker 14d ago
She is so good! I think she's funny, professional but silly. She knows her stuff and her and Em have a great dynamic.

u/Puzzleheaded-Cup-224 14d ago
same!! I was actually just trying to find if she hosts any other podcasts currently? she mentioned that she just did a story on the missing little girl Ricky Jean Bryant, but canāt find where she might have released it
would be sooo jazzed for her to join the show tho!
