    Just Awful
    Dr. Laura is a horrible person. Judgmental, condescending and ignorant. If you like a daily dose of negative word vomit, this podcast is for you.

    No nonsense advice
    I have just started listening to the deep dive series and I am blown away by the AMAZING advice Dr. Laura gives and the way she speaks to the callers is necessary because most of the time people get stuck in their own heads and Dr. Laura is great at making you focus on the REAL issues. I’m so glad I found this podcast, she has changed my mindset in such a short period of time. Thank you! Dr. Laura.

    Absolutely wonderful!
    I have listened to Dr Laura for years and used so many of her suggestions during my life. These podcasts are fantastic! I love being able to listen to them on my own schedule and the topics are so relevant and important! Thanks Dr. Laura!

    Love the In Depth Advice
    Each episode has taught me so much about being a better person - thank you Dr. Laura!
  • Tpoppy
    Sadly, I’m done.
    After many, many years of being a loyal listener, I am done with Dr. Laura. She has had an engineering problem (delay) for years that makes her talk over people -then she screeches, and accuses them of interrupting. I’m imagining this is because she doesn’t want to leave her home studio and her support crew is in a different place altogether.. The last straw was when she spoke about the inauguration today and said “finally, some sanity”. That’s it for me -sanity from a man who just pardoned 1500 criminals -many of whom injured police officers as they raided the capitol? That is just a bridge too far. Goodbye Dr. Laura. Do better.

    Host lacks empathy and is so rude to callers!!!!
    I don’t usually leave bad reviews, but I have NEVER seen a doctor/therapist not have any empathy whatsoever. I’m only 15 minutes into an episode and have never gasped so loudly and as many times I have listening to an episode in my entire life. She interrupts people, assumes the worst of the callers, literally YELLS at them and tells them to SHHHH, mocks them, does not leave space for them to explain (which is the purpose of them calling in). She is so f-ing rude. I don’t know why this podcast has 4.6 stars. I even showed some of my friends how she talks to people and we all gasped together!! I’m abhorred!! Never listening again. Do not recommend.

    Exceptional‼️
    I’ve been listening to Dr. Laura Schlesinger for several decades since I was in NYC 🗽 on talk show radio channel WABC. Thank God I reconnected with her on Podcast. She is the mother, friend, advisor, moral compass, passionate & loving being you dearly love to listen to‼️ What an exceptionally logical & common sense professional we have for FREE consultation. I LOVE YOU Dr. Laura… Thanks for giving us Sooo much of your sense🙏🏼

    Marriage is BETTER
    This is practical advice under five minutes. When my life lover and I have issues we see the issue through the lens of Dr. Laura. In fact you need to sell some funny glasses/goggles called Laura Lens and every-time you and your spouse argue you need to put them on through the entire agreement/argument. You won’t make it 2 minutes before you start laughing. Blessing..

    Not an ounce of sound marital advice
    As a licensed marriage and family therapist, one of my clients recently asked me if I had listened to Dr. Laura, which I had not. In the one episode I listened to, I found myself shocked and in disbelief in how she treated her callers and I was more shocked that the callers allowed her to bully her way through the call. She was condescending, she spoke over her guests, she dismissed their traumatic histories, and she insulted these women as if their husband‘s bad behavior would be their fault for not having enough sex with them. What era are we living in? This rhetoric is not only dangerous but should not be offered as advice to anyone. She is not representative of a therapeutic process and there are resources available if looking for evidence based therapy that can help these callers address their concerns.

    Love
    So happy to have found Dr. Laura again. I have been a fan since the 80’s. So refreshing to hear the direct and no nonsense solutions to problems again. She is the best of the best❣️
  • ekimore
    Such a sweet lady!!
    Dr. Laura’s personality is incredible!!!! She’s sweet, SUPER patient and always listens to the callers attentively before responding to them in a calm, not abrasive tone. I definitely can listen to her give advice for more than 5 minutes at a time 👍🏻

    Dr. Laura
    Very educational and entertaining!!! I have been listening to Dr. Laura for 35yrs. Her wisdom is timeless on just about every situation regarding relationships, raising children, handling conflict.
  • Csethbailey
    Life changing
    Dr. Laura is firm and to the point. If everyone were to follow her advice, we’d probably live in a better world. Thank you Dr. Laura for helping me understand a lot of my struggles and how to deal with them.
  • linzdel
    LOVE the deep dive!
    This is one of my favorite podcasts. Dr Laura has so much timeless wisdom to share. I am a 32-year-old stay-at-home mom and I enjoy every episode. More please!!!
  • Thenicedil
    Rude & Condescending
    Dr. Laura is rude and condescending to her listeners. She asks a question and cuts them off instead of allowing them to answer. You cannot just tell someone to stop having anxiety. Yes we control how we reach to situations but it is not healthy to bottle up emotions and suppress how you are feeling just to make someone else comfortable. If you are a millennial daughter-in-law I would advise against listening to Dr. Laura.

    Grieving a Loss
    My best friend and partner of 21 years passed away in September. Of course, I cried..:and Dr. Laura with your usual brilliant and compassionate insight explained my behavior perfectly…. Men are stoic. Grieving is a heart problem, and I was trying to take the intellectual muscle approach to a feeling.. I especially love the concept :Start thinking about the memories that I want to leave behind before I pass away and act accordingly.. Thank you, Doctor Laura for all the help you have given to so many…including me!

    “The Legend” at Her Finest
    These are incredibly well done. Illustrative calls wrapped with pearls of wisdom from Mother Laura. Thank you for such a rich offering.
  • Millersamanne
    What a great idea!
    I love listening to podcasts and I love Dr Laura’s advice. Can’t wait to listen.

    Love-Hate relationship but the Love wins
    I have had a love-hate relationship with the Dr. Laura show since I was a kid. I always thought she was too easy on the men and too hard on the women. I find myself hollering at the podcast/radio when she yells at people for talking while she’s talking. You have a delay! It takes them a couple seconds to hear you speaking—stop yelling at them! All that aside—she gives great advice. I find myself agreeing with her which is why I stay a loyal listening. I love her deep dives because it weeds out all the commercials and other commentary and gives you the meat and potatoes. The episode about grief, in particular, got me agreeing with her the most. I’ve lost my father and my 20yo cat. Both were types of grieving she touched on in that episode. Dr. Laura, regardless of your opinions, gives advice thats worth hearing.

    Always helpful
    I’ve been a fan for 18 years. I love how this is organized by topic. Thank you Dr. Laura for all the help and guidance you provide.
  • Blondiey2k
    Love her
    Love listening to Dr Laura-she reminds me of what is missing in the world-directness and truth. Be fearless. Thanks for being a truth-teller, even when it’s hard to hear!
  • Maadam2378
    America’s Therapist
    Oh how I’ve missed Dr. Laura on the radio! Listening to her directness made me realize how unaccustomed I’ve become to hearing unapologetic and directly delivered truth. Please release every past episode for all of us to remind ourselves about the difference between right and wrong.
  • Sandbum
    Look so forward to listening
    I love listening to Dr Laura, she’s so candid and tells it like it is. Love her advice!!
  • EatRight-LiveWell
    Dr Laura’s wisdom
    Thank you x a million for being you, Dr. Laura.
  • bjborowy
    Exceptional insight
    Dr Laura quickly diagnoses the heart of the matter. Her clinical acumen & translation to layman’s speech shines exceptionally bright compared to others in her field. I find her truth and guidance to align very well with what I have experienced or uncovered in life - including my successes, so many failures and ongoing professional and personal educational experiences in dating, marriage, surgery, family and friend relationships and navigating life decisions and uprighting myself when adrift and when verifying my course. Most of all, her love, integrity & character lead others to hope and stand as examples to which many can aspire …even when she raises her voice. Honesty & Integrity. Love her!

    Love it
    I found these so helpful!!!
  • Hitchkennedy
    Common Sense Wisdom
    The longer format does exactly what the Dr. Laura team was aiming for. It allows Dr. Laura to explore a topic and not just a single call. Essentially, calls about a topic are combined to create an essay and discussion. This is very useful and enjoyable. Keep up the great work. The world needs more of this wisdom.
  • Pilotswife94
    Really?
    Enjoy Dr Laura most of the time But she often speaks in generalization's like"everyone & nobody" when lecturing women about dealing with difficult men. As if all men that cheat, abandon and/or abuse their wives, must have a an acceptable reason. I find that insulting & narrow minded.. which I DO NOT believe Dr L is narrow minded.. I think she's very wise & successful. I also think that while it's true, both spouses make mistakes in marriage that may lead one or both to be unfaithful. Infidelity is a Biblical betrayal of the marriage vows. Spouses gaining weight, not earning enough money, or not keeping the house tidy- these are not betraying the Biblical marriage vows. So when Dr L says that "having an affair is viewed as worse than the things not done correctly" | find that puzzling. And wonder why nobody calls her out on it? Certainly she would afford her callers the same respect that she demands..
  • Ohleeander
    Ditto
    I missed you too. I was so glad you’re still calling it “ shacking up”!! Won’t be missing a podcast!
  • MomoGeGeO
    Not what I expected!
    I didn’t think the Deep Dive would have clips from past callers. I love that! I’ve always wanted to hear Dr Laura elaborate farther after a call - this podcast does exactly that! Thanks Dr Laura & Team!
  • Nana HB
    Thanks Dr Laura
    I’m so glad I found you again on SXM. Now I want my grown daughters to listen to you as they raise my grandchildren. If only…
  • JGFA
    5 Stars for content, 1 for editing
    Whoever edits this podcast (and also the Call of the Day podcast) needs to be fired. Sections repeat, shows/calls randomly cut off, etc. It is really bad. The content is great if you can get to it and you fast forward through the repeated sections.
  • danellef
    Dr. Laura….. oh how I love her
    Dr Laura has shaped my life….. been listening to her since the 90’s also…. Love and respect her so much…
  • Hedgehogs64838774
    Beautiful perspective
    I've listened to Dr. Laura since the early 90's and she has changed the course of my life and that of my children and grandchildren. I have never called the show but have gained so much insight and wisdom from her external eye with others, seeing things from the broader perspective. Thank you Dr Laura and I encourage anyone who needs honest and insightful guidance to listen.

    Dealing with the loss of a pet
    I’m facing the terrible decision of putting my Big Buddy down. He’s been my constant companion for 12.5 years. I cried through the entire episode. I, like the others will miss the routine, love and companionship. A house is not a home to me without a dog. This episode reinforced I’m not the only one struggling with not only the decision to do it, but all the grief that comes with it. Thank you.

    Should I stay or should I go?
    Your latest podcast about staying married for the kids was exactly what I needed to hear and at the right moment! It was at times, during the podcast, was hard to hear the truths and I have realize my faults in my marriage. Your advice is spot on! Thank you for making this podcast! You have helped me see so much more with your advice.

    Dr. Laura: the current age
    Although Dr. Laura may seem outdated and have “bad” advice, deep down, when you really listen to her SiriusXM show, her podcast, watch her YouTube videos..etc, you can really learn a lot from her. Her Candid responses make the callers feel an instant sense of relief and she has some great values.
  • Loving Life Today
    Live audience taping is great
    I will listen to Dr. Laura since the 80s on A&M radio. I thoroughly enjoyed her answering questions to the audience. Such great humor and information.
  • tlc chaney
    Enjoyed the deep dive podcast series!
    I would love to hear more deep dives about interpersonal relationships involving getting along with adult step children.
  • 806Lucky
    10 Stars!
    I’ve been a Dr. Laura listener for almost 30 years! I love her Deep Dives - they are chock full her wise insights, and personal and professional perspectives. I hold similar values and made many life decisions based on her recommendations throughout my 20s and 30s and even saw her live performance once. Life took some twists and turns and I went on hiatus from listening to her program. Until recently, I discovered her fantastic Deep Dive compilation of episodes. Love the topics and Dr. Laura - she is laser sharp as ever!!
