Under the Influence with Jo Piazza

I’m so glad I discovered Jo’s podcast. I’m a new listener, and it’s already at the top of my list. Fun guests with useful experiences to share, along with entertaining banter, of course.

I’ve been really enjoying your podcast, and you knocked it out of the park with the Meghan Markle episode. Love the fairness, the wit, all the royal gossip. And supporting women!

Latest episode about weight loss drugs lost me in the first two minutes when said that that every woman in her 30s, 40s, or 50s is either taking or secretly googling these drugs, and that she’s sick of all these people pretending they stay in shape without drugs. She ends with the classic “I want to hear from real women.” As a woman in her 30s who has not been “secretly googling” weight loss drugs and does stay in shape via diet and exercise only, I didn’t realize I don’t count as a “real woman” which is some real MAGA trad wife language coming from someone who constantly talks about that group. You can have your own experience without writing off everyone who doesn’t have that exact same experience, Jo.

The earlier episodes were very well researched and sincere. Now it’s turned into Jo’s neuroticism show. It just screams major coping to me. She whines about it all. You can also tell she used to work for the gossip magazines because the jealousy and pettiness just oozes out of her. She wants you to know that if you’re not fat and liberal and miserable and hate your husband like her -then you’re just wrong and she’s here to save your soul because she’s the smartest. It’s okay to get old Jo! Bitterness is taking over you. And stop being a hypocrite preaching to these women while playing ads that contradict your message ya phony
