BBAZFWQLifetimeBe a professional! Sirius radio and Podcast should be no excuse to curse at and call derogatory names to a person who could be suffering, depressed, one/ir suicidal. Then again it’s a free call. Please go to a legit therapist.
-
fedexsusieqDr Laura helped me raise a perfect sonWell, almost perfect. I’ve been a listener for over 40 years. I have used Dr Laura‘s advice many times as a single mom and the result is that I have a fantastic, well adjusted, respectful, hard-working, grateful 54-year-old son. he’s a wonderful husband and a fabulous father, not to mention a super groovy son.

A Must-Listen PoscastA Must-Listen PodcastI am glad to add my voice to the others in sharing my appreciation of this podcast. I trust Dr. Laura, and I appreciate her skillful articulation and engaging style.

SuzanneTheOneStop combining full episodes with daily clips and deep dive!I pay monthly directly to Dr. Laura for subscription. When I click the link on the website to listen on Apple podcasts, it takes me to a Dr. Laura full episodes podcast. Great! Unfortunately, they set it up or somehow it gets converted and combined with the daily clips and deep dive podcast, which has a different image. Within a day I stopped getting any updates of the full episodes and only get the daily clips filled with advertisements. I’d have to Unfollow the show completely and start all over again from the website. Please separate these podcasts. The private one with full episodes, should not directly drag me into the daily.

DirottyDr LauraI loved it .💞

$Delphine$Whenever you need to escape the insanity that the world has become todayEdited to add on to old review below: I am LOVING the Deep Dive episodes! Keep it up Doctor! Still my inspiration 💙 I found Dr. Laura about 8 years ago after using a Sirius trial on a new car. I initially was flabbergasted by what I heard, as a millennial in the 21st century. I started to listen while in traffic to get a good laugh. After a few shows I realized that I was agreeing with nearly every take she had on things. After I got rid of Sirius I absolutely HAD to subscribe to her podcast. Ever since I’ve been a part of the Dr. Laura family and listen to her often, especially when I need to clean my palate from some ridiculous thing that’s happening out there or when I need to restore brain cells after other podcasts. She is a treasure and I wish more people in my age group would listen to her and value themselves. Thank you Dr. Laura. We must protect you at all costs 💙

unhappygplaywatcherDr. Laura changed my life!15 years ago I was an unhappy wife and mother. I learned to love my husband the way I wanted to be loved no matter what and it completely changed our marriage and our whole family!! Thank you Dr. Laura you are the BEST!!

Merissa GHighly recommend to anyone that will listen!I’ve been listening to Dr. Laura, I swear, as long as I’ve been alive. My mom listened when she was on WJR in Detroit, I was around 4 or 5 (I’m now 30), and she and I both still listen to this day. I’ve gifted the proper care and feeding of husbands book to friends and have read it more than twice because a refresher never hurts! This podcast is my go to when Dr. Laura isn’t on air and I love getting these because there’s such a variety of topics. I also adore her deep dive because sometimes I want more of her insight on a particular topic. Thank so much for all that you do!
-
SuperHemi11(unedifying) entertainment, not helpful counselListened to two episodes briefly and this show seems to be more about shock value and drama and chewing people out as opposed to taking the time to listen to folk and give them compassionate and contextual wisdom. Go somewhere else if you want real counsel and wisdom.
-
ponyface2Commercials and rudeDon’t get me wrong because I love Dr Laura, she’s amazing, but…. sometimes she comes off as impatient with callers which is borderline rude and disrespectful. Also, for a 5 minute podcast, it is interrupted by 2 commercials, which will ruin her ratings. I’m just trying to be helpful because I have enjoyed her shows in the past, and hate to see her fail.
-
Kenneth HendersonBE CAUTIOUSSo, I have never heard of Dr. Laura until last week when I stubbled upon a podcast about a mother fed up with her son. I decided to call in to see what her thoughts were on my situation. Listen, don’t call this show if you are looking for a therapy session. She’s a very impatient, cut throat and rude person. Now, there was a couple of nuggets I took away (which I already knew, she just confirmed) but resulting to name calling was a bit much. She shushed me for agreeing with her statements, which I did, and said that I was people pleasing. Then proceeded to call me a coward because I had thoughts on reconciling with my father. Thank GOD i have worked hard in therapy over the last year and know that I’m not. That I’m in the best place mentally concerning the situation. My curious self was “entertained” by her and thought “what the heck, I’ll call!” There’s just simply no grace here. I kept thinking “what if I was depressed and suicidal and this women called me a coward”. Proceeded to tell me that I could not forgive my dad. Please be careful and seek therapy. Stop listening to her religiously.

Tc106We Need More Common SenseDr. Laura is a wise, strong, amazing woman who has helped myself and other immensely! The truth hurts sometimes but we all need to hear it! Thank you Dr. Laura for all of your wisdom and advice!

Kat GunnisonOnly listens to the sound of her own voiceI grew up listening to Dr Laura and had a lot of respect for her. It took a lot of courage for me to call about a situation I was in. Without even being able to explain my situation enough for someone to give sound advice she interrupted me and called me inappropriate names. I was calling about a situation with my MIL. Is that truly something a qualified therapist should do? I walked away with zero clarity or advice from a so called “professional”. Sounds like she has some personal anger issues to sort out before continuing to give others advice. Will no longer be listening to or following her. She gets triggered and off put by people situations and it bleeds into the next phone call. After going to therapy my entire life I can say that a good therapist is able to emotionally remove personal trauma and issues from a clients, she’s clearly not able to do that and you can tell. She doesn’t care for her clients best interest or to get the full story. The first thought that comes to her mind is the one she sticks with. I couldn’t get a word out and she hung up on me , how is that a constructive conversation with a therapist who won’t listen. What kind of advice is that? She’s lost it.
-
Pilotswife94Enjoy Dr Laura most of the timeBut 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“ I find that puzzling. And wonder why nobody calls her out on it? Certainly she would afford her callers the same respect that she demands.. 🤔
-
Vince_VersaSensitiveSometimes the truth hurts. It’s too bad we raised multiple generations of weak people. When you’ve helped 10% of the people this woman has then your opinion might count for something. Until then turn it off and get back in your bubble.
-
Sierra Hotel WhiskeyHonest. Effective. Truth.Encouraging introspection, Dr. Laura is able to consistently arrive at what can be difficult truths that allow understanding that lead to positive behavioral changes.

rocktoriaHave to sort through ideasI used to be a regular listener. I did not believe every idea DL presented, but I did like that she seemed to be supportive of women as to not be shamed out of motherhood as many women were in the 70’s, 80’s, and even today by not just men but by woman too. It is unreal how a stay at home (house manager) mother is still scrutinized on “what do you do all day?” DL seems a proponent of not emasculating men which society had leaned towards for awhile, but I think DL has not clearly explained why such would happen as women have been Minimized or equivalently emasculated into having less power. Maybe the journey/struggle to restore a balance of power is what temporarily asked men to take a step back. Anyways, she is appealing to many power hungry abusive men who claim they are “emasculated”. Trust, respect, balance, and growth are more appealing to me, but I will have to search for that podcast. Seriously, ask yourself how you feel after listening to several calls. Found myself in a bad mood most times.

Amyyahoo1The bestI love Dr Laura and in todays world she’s needed even more!!
-
SdctdcShe’s a psychoI listened to the most recent episode about school bullies and I am flabbergasted at the advice she gave callers. Stating the obvious, she interrupts callers which I find to be very rude and borderline narcissistic. I remember listening to her when I was a kid (bc my mom would have this nutcase on the radio in the car) and being disgusted as a child at how rude she was. Her idea of how to handle bullies is so black/white and simplistic. Yelling at a bully isn’t going to stop the problem. It truly only eggs them on. She highly endorses getting physical and backs that statement up with this backwards chauvinistic thought that “that’s how men handle things.” She proceeded to tell a story about how her son defended a kid who was being bullied (that’s great, seriously) but went on to say she had to send her husband to the school to talk to the principal bc if she went, she would have punched the principal. What?! Why? Why is Dr Laura so incapable of having an adult convo w/o the physical violence? The final straw was her mention of a movie with Channing Tatum about overthrowing the President because he made a decision to remove all troops from foreign countries. Apparently, she was disgusted by the people in the movie who were mad at those wanting to overthrow the president. Awesome. We have an unhinged so called therapist on a national podcast advocating for people to over throw the President if he makes a bad decision, for children to run around punching everyone and adults to punch school administrators if you don’t agree with them. This woman is out of her mind. She needs to have the mic removed, her therapist license revoked and sent in for an evaluation. She’s not well.

spoolie12876Love the advice..too many commercialsI’ve always loved listening to your advice. I was so happy when I found your podcast. Absolutely too many commercials. And they are on repeat. You can’t even get through a call when a commercial blasts through. Stop playing the same commercial During the podcast.
-
LacyRonchesterOof.What an aggressive opinionated person who doesn’t give callers a chance to speak and explain their situation. What a way to make people feel small who are already going through something tough. Bummer that so many people listen to this
-
NM sunshineThrough the yearsI have listened to you through the years and have found your advice helpful and affirming in the various stages of my life. Now as a woman of 75 I still find you a mentor.
-
GHSbobcat2011Telling it like it is!Refreshing in today’s culture of ignoring responsibility and honor. Thank you, Dr. Laura, for helping me be a better wife, mother, and human.
-
Focuslee123Frantic TherapistI called Dr. Laura about getting over my ex. I was nervous being on the radio. Instead of giving me a chance to explain myself because of my nervousness. She was frantic, and then told one of her people to hang up on me. She didn’t even give me a chance to speak to explain it to where it makes more sense. Regular Therapist without a national radio program would not have done that. Maybe being on the radio for so long she become dismissive to here audience.
-
Mary’s RoseA FanI’ve been listening to Dr.Laura since she was on KFI and heading home after the show in her little red sports car! Quite frankly, I think she’s brilliant! 🙏🏼💕 Carrie
-
KriselaniRude and unhelpfulI listened to one episode and that was more than enough. She was rude and condescending, and she kept interrupting instead of letting the caller finish a sentence. Don’t listen if you actually enjoy being a working mom. This woman thinks you’re selfish, a bad mom, and you shouldn’t have had kids.
-
linzdelDr Laura is the voice of reasonI only wish they’d air her whole show on Apple podcasts every day! I can’t get enough!
-
dez & rileyThe best advice and straight to the pointYou are fantastic. I love how you are so no nonsense. The nanny, babysitters, lack of parenting I hear coming from your callers explains why kids are the way they are. Everyone wants a quick fix and so many wan kids, but do not want to take responsibility, accountability for their children’s behavior. Keep doing what you’re doing! God bless.
-
misterbreeze12She’s the best in the business.Tells it like it is. Old school psychologist. Can listen all day.
-
Shalma M.There is no need to yell.I have been dipping my toes into this show. I’m listening to “My Sex Life is Unsatisfying,” and I’m deeply alarmed and disturbed that the host literally SCREAMED twice at the caller who was speaking gently and vulnerably. That is absolutely unacceptable and not OK. Competent adults don’t need to raise their voice for no reason. Don’t yell at people.
-
LouSmith434I love the callers whoSay they have been listening to her for decades but still do the OPPOSITE of what she has been saying for years. She is such a MAGA too, so no thanks
-
Jennifer1672Sponsors of her COD podcastI’ve listened to her show for years, and now I listen to the COD while washing dishes. I know her viewpoints on almost everything she has spoken of in the last ten years or so. She is very, very against daycare. I am a SAHM and have been for 16 years because that’s what is best for our four kids. Many times we struggle and if I were to go back to work it would be beneficial monetarily, but not beneficial for our kids so I stay home. Here is where my issue comes in to play. For the last month or so one of her sponsors has been The Goddard School. Why would she choose a daycare/preschool as a sponsor while bashing any parent who places their kids in daycare? Help me understand that hypocrisy. Love her advice over the years and follow a lot of what she says. I am my husband’s girlfriend and my kids mom. But I can no longer support her show by listening. The blatant hypocrisy is glaring. What’s next, an abortion clinic while bashing women who choose to have an abortion?
-
EvaBuenaDr Laura for PresidentShe’s been the voice in my head for decades and as a consequence I’ve turned life’s lemons into organic Italian lemonade.
-
Heidi R P 5TruthI’ve been listening to Dr Laura since I was a teenager. Her no nonsense approach and adherence to common sense is refreshing.
-
11252ryankevinShe makes me cringe!I feel bad for the callers looking for help from a “professional.” She is absolutely RUDE!
-
JLB851922Not goodThis lady is not helpful at all.
-
Mandyhall11To the commentersI highly doubt that dr Laura is reading these comments so the fact that you are talking to her directly is hilarious!!! 😂😂
-
A-RosesThere is a delayI love listening to this podcast; however, I feel bad for the callers that get yelled at when Dr Laura is trying to get the caller to listen to her speak but there is a delay and the caller continues to talk. I’m not sure if this is something that can be corrected technically, but until then, Dr Laura please give the callers some grace! Ha ha.
-
be the best that you can beToo many adsDr Laura is the best!! Pure genius. But way too many ads for such a short podcast- makes it hard to listen to.
-
Rebecca_N_AustinShe’s Not Like She Used To BeI used to listen to Dr Laura back in the day.. now it seems that the older she gets the more cranky she gets! I also hate when she uses foul language. She constantly cuts people off and is just a rude person who sounds miserable. Maybe SHE needs some therapy.
-
Loo1234456I love listeningThank you for continuing.
-
RASCL 1Addiction is a disease, not a moral failingYou being a doctor I would think you would know that. People who are addicted to drugs and alcohol do not throw away the people they love. Love the person hate the disease.
-
vvfferShe gets it most of the timeI have heard Dr. Laura give some very solid insight and advice. Having said that, catch her at the wrong time if she’s tired or in a mood and I’ve heard her completely misjudge the situation, not get the entire picture, jump to the wrong conclusion and say very unkind things. In other words, making a bad situation worse. My opinion is she should retire. I believe she’s in her mid-70s and if she doesn’t retire, she should definitely take less calls and improve her focus. She could be doing more harm than good continuing in a very difficult and emotionally taxing field like therapy.
-
fearlessfox16Such a rude and mean women.Hurtful. Hateful and not helpful
-
Ewm$AwfulShe’s so abrasive and rude. Stressful to listen to.
-
Emigdio5Dr Laura should’ve been President!I’ve been following Dr Schlesinger for over 30 years!!!... When she went to Xrius I thought I would never hear from her again. When I discovered Podcast, the 1st thing I did was search for her.. You cannot imagine how thrilled I was!!! It was like finding the down to earth, no bars, supreme common sense, and wholesome family values mother I wished I had. We have been graced with this supreme one of a kind giving human being!!!!... God has Blessed us with your existence!!!
-
cyndis7492Where has she been all my lifeI like how she tells it how it is, no sugar coating. Love the podcast, but sometimes its a little overkill on the commercials, I Do understand commercials are neccessary especially for a short podcast, but more than 3 commercials is overkill.
-
luvvagoodstoryYou’re being trolledDon’t blame her, she’s the same as ever; bombastic with a mean heart.. the callers know what they’re in for- no coddling, no compassion- this is just a shallow lady who has found a way to monetize the suffering of others. Stop listening and she’ll dry up and blow away.. Her brand of hate doesn’t deserve your attention.
-
Micah. S.GrossI only listed to one episode and I’m disgusted. “Get him back” after you catch him with other women??? Ma’am maybe this “advice” would’ve resonated with me if I was a naive teenager. That is abhorrent advice. Dr. Laura, what about actually communicate with your partner about boundaries and expectations from one another? This “pick me” attitude is only going to make people miserable . Do better.
-
Lois the greatest fanWoo hooBeen listening to you for 5 years never Gets old. All hail the wisest dr Laura 😆
