Men like it too!

I love this show. I only wish Julia could have had these types of conversations with Mrs Seinfeld and Mrs Costanza (both real and on the show) it would have been really great to hear those stories.

Please don't ever stop. I especially love the call to Mommy after.

Love it

All the guests have been so interesting and inspiring.
Really would love to hear Shirley McLean on the show. Call Shirley!!

Forester friendly ,

One of the best!

I’m always excited when a new episode downloads from Wiser Than Me. The richness of the conversations is refreshing, and we have much to learn from these wise women. The recent episode with Bonnie Raitt destroyed me (in the best way!) I cried so many times; it was beautiful to hear the raw emotion in Julia’s voice as she expressed her love and admiration for such an incredible woman. Thank you for making this podcast! And I love the chats with her mum Judith at the end ❤️
