    Julia Gets Wise with Carol Burnett

    On the season finale of Wiser Than Me, Julia sits down in person with 90-year-old groundbreaking actress, comedian, and writer Carol Burnett. Carol tells Julia how she learned to accept rejection, what Lucille Ball taught her about being a boss, and how a spontaneous ride on a beer truck led to her landing a CBS special with Julie Andrews. And Carol gives Julia a compliment that makes Julia cry, which leads to a touching conversation between Julia and her mom Judith.

    Julia Gets Wise with Rhea Perlman

    This week on Wiser Than Me, Julia spends time with 75-year-old actress Rhea Perlman, who recently became a grandmother for the first time. Julia and Rhea trade stories of being pregnant on set and reminisce about working together 40 years ago on Saturday Night Live. Then, Julia tells her mom Judith that Rhea has read a lot of Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh’s work, which inexplicably prompts a laugh-out-loud funny story from Judith.

Superb!

Just looked like a good idea to try it and turned out to be no better way to spend my time. Every conversations lit off so many ah has! And Judith just adds the topping to the beautiful cake! Can’t wait for season 2!

Put in those buds and give a listen❣️

This show is so worth listening to-even on repeat. I could hear Julia interview older, fantastic women all day. If you haven’t heard season 1, please listen🙏🏼 then look forward to the next season! (Also, I want to record Julia’s laugh to hear when I’m down😄😍.) So- go ahead and enjoy some funny and brilliant wise words from great guests . I’m 62 and I know I need it.👏🏻😘

Julia is SUPERB!

I cannot wait for the 2nd season of Julia’s hit podcast. Her genuine interest in each guest is so inviting and her desire to learn from these fascinating women is what drew me in. Love J L-D in everything that she does. Her podcast is REAL!!
Great job Julia.
