The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast

My husband and I love listening to the Him & Her Show while driving. We love learning from their informative guests. Lauryn & Michael’s banter is a kick too!

Some episodes are super insightful with intelligent, well informed guests who are respected in their field. Others are a joke with conspiracy theorists who peddle dangerous and inaccurate information. A mixed bag, but the show lacks accountability for the size of its platform. More research should be done before giving anyone a mic to spew their often totally unhinged opinions. They spin it as “showing all sides of whatever” but it’s become a stage for lots of people who really don’t deserve one (and super alt-right lately???) Also the ads are WAY too long. Like 5-6 minutes every 20 minutes long.

Used to be a big fan and listened religiously 2x a week since 2020. It’s gotten insufferable lately and feels like I’m listening to the same talking points over and over again. All good things must come to an end…

I’ve been a fan of the show for years, particularly because Lauryn and Michael brings guests of all different experiences and viewpoints onto the show, but it’s going downhill. I’m liberal and like to listen to all sides and all types of people across party lines, but I have noticed the guests are quite similar now, backing Michael and Lauryn’s views. It feels like I’m listening to an echo chamber each episode. I would appreciate more diversity in the guests. Also, I do like it when Lauryn and Michael discuss their lives but sometimes they liken their guests’ points to their lives a bit too much where it sounds like they’re taking away from their guests.
