Dear Apple Support, I'm at my wit's end. Rushion – yes, that Rushion guy – keeps baring his presence on the Strawberry Letter podcast that happens to be my favorite. Is this a joke? Because if so, it ain't funny. Not in the slightest. Why's this guy even on there? He's riding the coattails of a podcast that I enjoy faithfully, and the worst part of it all? He's receiving benefits of a paid Podcaster that someone listens too. No one listens; however he is receiving a payment because we have to swipe as if we are listening. The listeners don't even have the power to discard his irritating cover? That's a heap of bull if there ever was one. We shouldn’t even be forced to swipe him when we did not opt in to his podcast. Over the past few months, I've vented my frustration to Apple Support -- a whopping THREE times, mind you -- and what’s changed since? Are my pleas evaporating in thin air or are they just not urgent enough? I respect the Strawberry Letter and their brilliant content, but this Rushion buzzkill needs to be axed, pronto. I'm not alone here when I say, he's GOT TO GO. No more sweet talk – take action, and rectify the situation. Expecting swift and satisfactory resolution, Unhappy Listener

Can Mr Rushion please get his own podcast channel?? I really hate having to scroll through all his episodes to get to what we’re actually here for.

I love the Strawberry Letter and I also love a good business podcast but these two together leads to confusion and me always grabbing my phone and scrolling on my commute to get to the next letter I missed. 😩

Idk who this man is; However, I appreciate his content and wanting to better help the black community, but not here. He isn’t strawberry letter. He needs his own place where everyone can personally go listen to him, but being forced to listen to him isn’t fair to the ones who just want to listen to the Strawberry Letters ONLY :)

Please stop forcing this guy on us give him his own podcast and allow us to enjoy the strawberry letter which is the reason why we’re here

I’m not sure why this guy’s content was added to the Strawberry Letter, but please take it off. I do not want to listen to his show.

Can we move the Rushion content to his own podcast station? I would appreciate not having to navigate to find what I want

Strawberry Letter used to be my favorite podcast to listen to. Now I have to sift through all the podcast episodes just to find a Strawberry Letter because of someone named Rushion McDonald. Apparently he is an ex producer that worked for Steve. I’m so close to unsubscribing to this Strawberry Letter podcast. It’s truly disheartening I’ve had this downloaded for years. Why doesn’t he have his own podcast channel?

This new format is really confusing. I’m not sure if this is a mistake or added content.

Where’s the Strawberry Letter??? We are here for the funny and entertainment. This backdoor podcast is not the move. If I could leave no stars I would.

Unsubscribing!! Nobody asked for these extra episodes!

I am extremely disappointed in the random show hiding under the umbrella of the strawberry letter podcast.. Seams like we are being force fed a show that, according to the reviews, few people have an interest in.” I waited for you to return to your traditional dissemination, but no luck. As a result, I unfollowed your podcast

Posting old episodes or none at all with the mixed in pod cast i think the only cast i liked/listened to died

You’ve got to be kidding me. Listen, I don’t have an issue with the financial podcast but PLEASE give it its own space where people can subscribe to it and not have it forced upon those who subscribed to the Strawberry Letter, or Nephew Tommy’s Pranks or the Steve Harvey Morning Show. I’m sure people would consider listening to it if it wasn’t forced upon us. Do a 3 minute trailer and in that trailer say where and how people could find it. That way it isn’t taking over the wrong feeds. It’s the same concept of if someone subscribe to an email newsletter expecting one thing and primarily get content they didn’t ask for.

That other podcast has completely replaced The Strawberry Letter.

As in Shirley Strawberry. Steve we did NOT ask for this motivational and inspirational stuff. You can do that in the AM on the radio or create another podcast opposite of this one. We are just here for the foolishness.

Why are we getting a podcast broadcast from a financial planner during what’s supposed to be the Strawberry letter?

Please give the inspirational stories their own podcast. Those who listen to the Strawberry letters are not interested in substituting for the inspirational stories, those stories have their place but not on the Strawberry Letters podcast. PLEASE CONTINUE WITH STRAWBERRY LETTERS. Thank You

What happened to the strawberry letter? I don’t know why this podcast is on the strawberry letter podcast but like others have said he needs his own podcast it’s like ya’ll are forcing this on its listeners, please fix this I’m unsubscribing until then it’s frustrating having to scroll through

Where are the more recent Strawberry Letters? Please add those in to your podcast channel versus Rushion’s podcasts. (He should have his own channel.)

It’s a leadership podcast episodes and a couple of strawberry letter episodes. There a week of no strawberry episodes have been loaded. It’s misleading.

I used to love following the show and listening to the letter. However, there’s a random podcaster on here that I have no interest in. Why? I’m going to unfollow if this doesn’t get fixed!!

I thought this was the Strawberry Letter podcast but this has turned into the Rushion MCDonald show. It was annoying before to weed through the uploads to play the Strawberry Letter but now the Strawberry Letter isn’t even being uploaded. Please fix this. When you do I’ll re-subscribe.

Did I miss something? I’ve been on this podcast for years. I haven’t seen/heard a new strawberry letter in weeks. Fix this ASSP, please and thank you.

WHERE THE LETTERS AT!!!

I have not seen an actual Strawberry Letter in a week. I see someone else brought this up on Friday. Please figure this out because you are about to lose your audience.

I am not sure why these new shows pop up but it is distracting from the strawberry letter. Rushion needs his own podcast. I don’t see the new episodes..

I tuned in for the original podcast content, not financial advice. Could we return to the original topic?

Why is there a random podcast on here? It's kind of annoying and makes me not even want to listen to the strawberry letter. Please fix this and give that guy his own podcast station...stop forcing him on us!!!!

Just like the others. I came for the Strawberry letter only. Deleting this podcast until it’s fixed.

We don’t want to hear that other person’s podcast. We want the strawberry letter!

The show is great but I’m so sick of these other shows that y’all are trying to promote. I didn’t subscribe to them!

I enjoy the original format of the Strawberry letter when it was just Steve and Shirley advising the letter writer as well as the listening audience. I don’t want to hear from the peanut gallery, sorry Tommy and Junior. I also don’t care for the financial advising podcast the replaces your show. I’m sure you all may be growing tired of doing the Strawberry letter since you’ve been doing this for years now. Maybe it has run its course. I hope you continue to enlighten us with your advise a little while longer.

Hello Steve Harvey, Shirley Strawberry and family I’m so tried of the changes u have made to the Strawberry Letter podcast Mr Rushion McDonald show is boring and I feel since I like the Shirley Strawberry podcast Mr McDonald show is being stuffed down my throat. It’s difficult to forward past this show to enjoy the great Strawberry show. Why would u change something that is So great. Is it for $ . Steve u said your tried of the letters that’s ok let your family answer them your staff is very talented people. As u are. Thanks for letting me speak my peace. Sincerely Mary LeMaire

I subscribed only for the Strawberry Letter, and not these other podcasts that keep appearing. The other shows are like spam they appear so much. It wasn’t always like this, and I don’t know what changed to make it happen this way, but somebody needs to do something.

Just as others have said, I subscribed to hear the Strawberry letter ONLY. Thank you.

Stop with the unrelated show no one signed up for. Show has too many ads too. It’s a 13 min segment that’s over 20 mins long meaning an almost extra 50% of time due to ads.

Why is this other podcast blocking the strawberry letter. 😑

Recently other random podcast have recently began appearing in the daily episodes. Sometimes these episodes appear more frequently than the Strawberry letters. Make it stop. All of the ads in the episode are enough now this other extra stuff is too much.

I’m here for the strawberry letter not the financial advice. Please make it stop.

WHY are we being forced to listen to this random finance guy when we came for the Strawberry Letter? What’s really going on? It’s not even worth it anymore. I’ll find another podcast to listen to that doesn’t force me to listen to some random other person.

Love the podcast. But why are we getting daily episodes about things not even related to the strawberry letter? Or at least give us the option to opt out of the unrelated episodes.

Like the show, too many ads, but what’s with this random dude who’s episodes you keep dropping on our feed to INFLATE his download numbers?! No one asked for this content 🙄

The segment is good but is only like 7 minutes total. The podcast has way too many ads. And now they have these weird episodes about random stuff

Had to comment on the Aug 8th episode. Now you know the daughter knows a lot more than the ex-wife and current wife thinks she does, right? That baby knows the name of the NEW side piece. That man is paying for silence!! Keep the episodes coming!! 💜

I love the show!! Shirley & Steve are best fit for that show, please keep it that way! Lol nephew tommy needs to stick to prank calls 😭 absolutely despise when Tommy fills in for Steve 😂 he’s just not a good fit for Strawberry letter 😂😂 sorry not sorry

I absolutely love listening to Steve give his advice! I take heed to what he says as a woman and apply it to everyday life! I will literally listen to the same old episodes over and over. I wish they had more content!

Too Too many Ads

I love the whole crew !! You guys are amazing and these letters folks write be killing me !!! You guys make my work days so awesome!!

I’ve been listening to this show since middle school when my mom would drive me to school…. But I hate that the episode about the unattractive man sherry said everything but “Confidence” women date/marry unattractive men all the time. The guy who’s letter they read on May 3, 2019 lacked confidence
