Domenica Calarco and Ella Ding’s podcast, Sit With Us. has come to an end.
Dom and Ella started Sit With Us in June 2022, shortly after appearing on Married At First Sight (MAFS) Season 9. Over the past two years, they’ve had multiple reality TV guests including MAFS‘ Jack Dunkley, Jonathan McCullough and Eden Harper.
Dom shared the surprising news about Sit With Us in a post on the podcast’s Facebook group.
“Ella and I have come to a joint decision: it is the right time for Sit With Us to come to an end,” Dom wrote.
“This decision was not made lightly, and it comes with a mix of emotions. We have loved every moment, and ending this chapter is bittersweet.
“However, we believe it is the best step forward for both of us. We think it is the right time now to move on with our own solo projects and explore new opportunities that lie ahead.”
What else did Dom say about Sit With Us podcast?
Dom expressed her gratitude for the Sit With Us listeners.
“Over the past two years, your unwavering support has meant the world to me, and I want to take a moment to express my deepest thanks,” she wrote.
The former MAFS bride said that she and Ella “dreamed of building something special”, but had no idea the “community” that would be built as part of the podcast.
“Each episode, each discussion, each shared story has been a labour of love, and knowing that our content has resonated with people from all corners of the world has been beyond rewarding.
“I cherish every single moment spent creating and connecting with you all. Your feedback, your engagement, your encouragement-they have been the fuel that kept us going, pushing us to create better, more meaningful content.
“You are the OGs, and it is important to me that you hear this directly from me,” she said.
Why have Dom and Ella cancelled Sit With Us?
Dom didn’t give a specific reason about why the podcast was cancelled, and Ella is yet to publicly speak about its cancellation.
However, the podcast pair received a considerable amount of backlash from their listeners after they interviewed MAFS 2024 villain Jack on their podcast in May.
At one of the MAFS dinner parties, Jack infamously told groom Jonathan to “put a muzzle” on his TV bride Lauren Dunn.
In the interview, Both Ella and Dom suggested that producers put Lauren in front of Jack at the Dinner parties because she pushed his buttons, which was likely to lead to a reaction from him. Their take drew criticism from their listeners.
Though some listeners were critical of the interview, According to Triton Media’s Australian Podcast Ranker, Sit With Us climbed to 140, 621 listeners in May 2024.
However, in June the podcast finished the month with 44,237 monthly listeners.
On top of the declining numbers, fans have noticed that both Ella and Dom haven’t been liking each other’s posts on Instagram, hinting at a possible rift between them.
“I had a feeling they had fallen out because they never like each others posts anymore. I hope they can work it out ðŸ¤,” one person wrote on Reddit.
Going by how vocal Dom was about her feud with fellow MAFS bride Olivia Frazer, if there is, in fact, a divide between Ella and Dom, we’re pretty sure we’ll be hearing about it soon.
