Brava

I look forward to my Sunday mornings because I can listen to a new ‘Is This Real Life’. I can relate to Mandy’s perspective on so many levels from being from a family who immigrated to America from Ukraine, to being Jewish, & that we both advocate to improve people’s lives in our jobs. I like that Mandy relates our favorite shows to her own life & her listener’s lives & what is happening in the real world. Her guests are also fantastic bringing their unique intelligent perspectives to these shows.

Lovely

I enjoy the intellectual take and Mandy’s gentle voice ☺️

I used to enjoy…

I used to enjoy this podcast but I find her lecturing really annoying. I like when she sticks to the episodes but the constant “we shouldn’t do this or that…” is patronizing. I’m an adult and I know right from wrong. I don’t need to be lectured every Sunday.
