“My dating life MUST be part of God’s cosmic gag reel.” Putting a comedic (and real life) spin on the title, Melyssa Ford’s new podcast reflects the difficulties she, and most women, experience in their dating lives. Wanting to expand the conversation to include topics that relate to ‘Today’s Everywoman”, she is joined by various cohosts where they will share their thoughts, opinions and experiences on trending topics in a long form discussion. So grab a glass of wine, take off your bra and get comfy because these ladies are diving head first into some deep sh*t and unpacking some heavy baggage.

    I love this podcast and I learn so much! I’ve been a fan of Melyssa since the 90s. I’m sorry to hear about your mother Melyssa. Sending healing, love and strength your way.

  • sophyjhart
    Love the show...But...
    Love the show, however Blue needs to stop interrupting Melyssa and the guests.
  • Takavaka
    Love the show!!
    This show is wonderful. I love hearing the opinion of older women who have LIVED! It’s gets deep but lightens up at the perfect time always. My only critique is that Blue needs to push it back a bit. She talks over the guest and Melyssa so sometimes they don’t get to finish their point because she’s too busy jumping in and trying to tell her story. You are the co host Blue. Stop and just listen. We want to head the guest
  • Ambeauxxx
    Love it
    Love this show but Blue girl you gotta stop putting herself down every episode. Except the compliments stop making up excuses when someone compliments you. Quit trying to be accepted. You are beautiful and just as beautiful as Melyssa and the other guest on the show. You sound very insecure. Your funny as hell & you have a great personality. Be yourself not what you feel you should be for the show. Y’all sound more like co host and not like friends.

    A Alabama Gentleman’s Perspective
    Very Dope Podcast!!!! It truly represents women in its entirety and gives a full five into Womanism. As a man it is so enlightening to the insight of our Beautiful Black and Brown Sistas. I have been a Fan of Melyssa since her movie Love for Sale. I also love how Blue challenges my way of thinking as a man and encourages me to continue to evolve. I can’t wait for the day I finally get to meet you ladies and express my love in person!!!!
  • Monalish
    Absolutely love this podcast!!
    This podcast is amazing and gives me something to look forward to during my work day. Love Melissa, she’s part goddess part human. And Blu my taurean sister, is so controversial yet relevant. Sometimes she can speak too much but overall LOVE
  • Jlemonade19
    This podcast truly feeds my soul!
    I love this podcast in its entirety! From the topics discussed and the host’s perspectives on those topics it’s all great and truly educational for the most part!
  • Do better!!!!
    Ms. Ford
    Ms. Ford please get a new co host, Blue is trash 🗑 she reminds me of the overweight girl who thinks she knows everything. It’s hard to enjoy your podcast she over powers each episode with her loud mouth. Also she’s not that smart.
  • Finance struggle
    Spread the word!!
    Great show and kudos to everyone! The “who will cry when you die” episode was beautiful human and complex! Thanks to all of you for sharing your stories and your truths. From being depressed to finding a new purpose (which sounds absolutely Devine and needed and yet untapped... shoutout to ur guest). To Melissa’s personal journey and to the journey she’s on with her mother... to Blue’s story (sorry if I misspelled your name)...these are the THINGS nobody speaks of... I don’t have any personal experiences like this, BUT I’ve heard of them! What a great episode!!!!!! Thank you all as you ground me in sense of belonging!

    Melyssa the Masterful
    I love opening a good dialogue about society, dating and MAYBE politics. This podcast has given me the perfect balance of education and laughter. The camaraderie between Blue and Melyssa is unparalleled. They... Are... Hysterical! Jointly, they unpack and dissect stories enough to make them more than just a topic and shatter the surface of what needs desperately to be addressed today. So many discussions on this podcast hit home hard. Can't wait to see the laundry list of phenomenal guests she's got loaded in the chamber. I love you guys! Let's keep the conversation going. 🙌🏽💯 #MachineGunMelly

    Interesting Topics and...
    First let me congratulate the creator on putting this vision into action! That’s a wonderful accomplishment and a good example to everyone of dreaming BIG and making your dream a reality. I’ve listened for a few months and want to offer feedback in hopes it’s received as the gift all feedback is. The content is interesting and sparks great discussion. Where I’m challenged is Melyssa has a tendency to focus a lot on her personal experience to the point that the content can’t fully be explored. We all have things to unpack and while she’s quite introspective, Melyssa could benefit from practicing a bit more mindfulness about making space for others to share. This can be done by being more inquisitive of others comments and watching how it expands the conversation. The enthusiasm is obvious...just a little tweaking. I plan to listen more in a month or so as the podcast continues to grow and adjustments are made here and there. Happy podcasting!
  • Yaditexas
    My favorite podcast find
    I really enjoyed the episode with Jayla Baxter, it was eye opening and I walked away having learned so much. This is not just great entertaiment, it engages you in critical thinking, but with a group of women that are so down to earth. Loved it.

    Dear Blu

  • 2lovely
    Huge Fan
    I love Ms. Ford’s interview style. She allows her guest an opportunity to communicate their opinions, experiences, and expertises on various topics. She does not talk over her guests. She respects everyone’s opinion. She is the only reason I continue to listen. The topics are relatable and interesting. I enjoyed Blue’s insight and opinion during the earlier episodes. However, the more I listened to her the more she became irritating. She comes off as overbearing and narcissistic. She’s thinks she knows everything and does not allow herself the opportunity to embrace the opinion and thoughts of others. She might learn something if she slows down and listen. She talks more than she listens. This is not a personal attack. It’s just my observation. I’m sure she is a lovely person. I miss the other co-host who resigned back in November☹️
  • JamrockShae
    Diversity
    I love the mix of the panel!! I love that the opinions differ and give the perspective of a wide array of girls. I appreciate that differing opinions aren’t shunned neither do they try to change the views of the person but just respect it.
  • AKP151
    Love it!!!
    I binge listened while working late and I really look forward to more episodes. Three intelligent women who articulate themselves so well. I find myself nodding in agreement with the commentary so often. Keep up the good work ladies. AKP

    The Best
    This is theeee best podcast to come out in 2019. I can’t wait to see what 2020 has in store.
  • Azelialight
    Another serving of the same food
    The moderators are skilled and the guests are diverse, but after listening for a few weeks I’ve come to a decision that this is just not for me. I was hoping for more conventional topics and perspectives, rather than the typical urban, ultra modern viewpoint of everything. Why crust if u have a large vocabulary? These podcast come a dime a dozen from our community.
  • LadyN4221

    Love the the choices for the co-hosts !!
    These ladies are not to be played with. These podcast is food for the soul no matter what the conversation. I learn something new every time I listen . I love how the ladies can have different opinions and still respect each other 😇😇😇
  • Jd20161205
    Good podcast ! Not crazy about the intro.
    Love the podcast. All host compliment each other very well. Mix of knowledge, girl talk, and humor. I think the intro is a little too long and kind of cliche and corny (sorry! Lol)
  • Geeky_will
    Awesome Podcast
    I loved this podcast so much I shared it with my girlfriend :)
  • Niecey13
    5 Stars!
    I’ve always loved hearing Melyssa speak. She has so much poise, intelligence, and grace. Her two co-hosts compliment her well. I love listening to empowered, opinionated, and smart women. Definitely feeds the soul!
  • flowerqueencolor
    I really like this podcast.
    Very well done. I’ve watched four episodes on YouTube and I really like it. So, I decided to come here as well to like, subscribe, and leave a review. : ). I love all your points of view and perspectives on topics. I take something from every discussion that expands my knowledge about the subject- especially the episodes on forgiveness and colorism. You guys are also genuinely funny without being offensive. I really appreciate that in a podcast. Blue is masterful at respectfully disagreeing with guests. It is artful and a joy to watch. Keep going, ladies! Also, re: KK. What a hater!
  • LCJ1129
    Intellectual Porn!
    I started binge listening last night and I’m still listening this morning as I work out. You ladies freaking rock and are beyond beautiful, intelligent, powerful, and self assured! Listening is encouraging me and letting me know it’s perfectly fine to step into your greatness and be unapologetically you! My mind and soul are being fed and I want seconds! Your voices are a gift to the world. Keep up the life changing work.
  • ChampyK

  • music_luvr01
    I’m all in!
    Great job Melyssa on putting together a group of women who are beautiful and intelligent. I’ve watched several episodes more than once and each time I’ve leaned something new. You’re doing an amazing job with your guest selection. I can’t wait to see more.
  • hope6119
    Great Conversations!
    I love this show! It is informative, respectful, intelligent dialogue. These women are so smart. The guest are great picks. I hope the content stays this great! I see this show being really popular(speak it into existence 😉) just me being selfish, so I get to watch more great content! Blue is the TRUTH, she is a wealth of knowledge and realness, with so much kindness and the ability to hear you out even if she doesn’t agree and clearly state and explain to you why that is. I’m just so impressed with the content. This is needed ladies, great job, keep going.
  • Tonya.Tee.88
    Sooo relatable!

  • cali209smokin
    Great show for EVERYONE
    Honestly I love this show!!! As an African Americans black/puerto rica female and also a more tomboyish girl I seriously love the content that I am getting from your show.. it’s not “too straight” and every conversation I’m laughing, thinking and receiving knowledge from all 3 of you ladies.. Thank you Melly Mel for sharing with us your intellectual advice along with the gangster and realness.. much love
