Jen’s sense of humor, perspectives, guests, and banter are a fantastic balm to my sometimes weary soul! 😀🙌🏼

I really enjoy this podcast and the guests. I’ve been listening since its inception. I feel like I learn something-usually about myself-every time I listen to it. But it’s really annoying the way the commercials pop in right in-typically the middle of a sentence! It’s so disruptive to the content and the value of what’s being shared. Please find a way to wait until the end of the sentence or at least put a pause in before inserting the product endorsements so we know the thought is changing. I’m also not a big fan of the little musical intros to the fun topics at the beginning of most episodes….I do like those topics and the interaction between Jen and Amy….just not the quippy jingles.

I used to never miss an episode, as I found her guests so enlightening or entertaining. I loved her books. But now I can hardly stand to listen to her. She no longer seems authentic or relevant to me. So sorry, Jen. You have enough fans that I’m sure I will not be missed.

Checked this out for the first time to hear Chip Leighton and was so disappointed that half the show was just random boring chit chat and no guest!

I wanted to listen to the episode with Bethany Joy Lenz, and I tried but had to cut it short. Way too much yapping prior to BJL coming on and too many ads for my liking. The transition of ads is not done well. The format of how the ads were on is meh. Some of the language was not for me. This was my first time trying to listen to this podcast host, and it will be the last time.

Just listened to the Colbert one. And omg, laughing! I too wore a bf’s ring, but on a chain around my neck for my Junior picture, I die a little bit inside every time I see that one. Thanks for the laughs! xo

I feel horrible saying this but I feel really confused with the new format! I have loved this podcast and the guests you have been able to get over the years. Back in 2020 the Black Lives Matter series, the food series, the comedy series you have done have been top notch! Jen is an incredible interviewer but the new cohost adds nothing and only takes away! Truly nothing against her as a person at all, I would just strongly suggest kindly saying goodbye to her as cohost and keeping her as your bestie instead. I love you Jen so much nothing personal just some real feedback.

I hate saying this because I do love Jen, but I really dislike the new format, and no shade to the cohost, but she is not a positive addition. The addition of the cohost has made the podcast boring and almost somber. Jen has a vibrant personality but it feels dimmed with the cohost. The audio has also gotten worse, which is an interesting turn for a podcast to take. These factors make me less interested in listening now, when I used to look forward to a new show.

Updated 1/25/2025: Y’all. I left my first review YEARS ago and STILL with the audio issues! I honestly don’t know why I keep expecting it to get better. ALSO, what’s with the weird ad placements popping in literally mid-sentence? I’m convinced that no one from the production team has actually listened to the show in its current full format because there’s no way they would be proud of this. Please, FOR THE LOVE, do better! I want to like this podcast, but the audio quality is SO. BAD. C’mon guys. For a podcast that has been around for several years, I would think the audio would be better by now. I only listen to maybe a third of every podcast before I get so annoyed with the audio that I give up and move on to another podcast. Please upgrade your audio equipment!

Maybe you need to have a NO list for 2025 that includes no more booze because girl you look like and sound like you have a drinking problem. I’ve followed you for 12 years and I hope you get the help you need. Why your friends let you go on a podcast and camera like this is… there are no words. Most episodes and posts you seem drunk out of your mind or hungover. I really hope you can get the healing you need.
