    Great (unpopular) take on Tim Ballard
    I really enjoyed the episode on Tim Ballard, and it has aged well with all the sexual misconduct, misappropriation of donor money, and the evidence on how much he fabricated in his “raids”. Sometimes the unpopular opinion is the one that ages the best! Great job!

    Mind blown
    Just listened to the "Ebonics" episode. It literally made me feel sick to my stomach. To realize how badly my family had this wrong feels soooo wrong. Thank you for this information!!!

    OJ episodes
    I listened to the whole OJ. Anthology with your wrong about and spooky he just died. But I’m curious my co worker just mentioned something about his son doing it. Can we erre visit it for just a little closure and some conspiracies. Love the podcast thank you for making my road-trips

    It’d gotten so dry…
    The first episodes with Michael Hobbes were fabulous. So interesting and excellent dialogue. But it is so very dry now. The topics aren’t interesting, the guests don’t bring much to the table. I think Sarah is so intelligent, articulate, and thoughtful, but she needs a co-host. It’s become static. Would love to see her get her groove back with another person to banter with.

    Show Has Lost Its Personality
    This used to be my favorite podcast. I adore Sarah, but this show just isn’t the same without Michael. I was hoping Sarah just needed to find her footing without him, but it’s clear this show will never be as good as it was. I love Sarah on You Are Good, but the topics she’s doing here and the guest hosts she’s had on are so painfully BORING. It’s like an SNL parody of an NPR broadcast. It’s time for better guests, better topics or just time to mercifully end it. Edit: Just listened to the Bonnie and Clyde episode. Wow. That was quite a take. It’s okay to rob and murder people as long as you’re poor and you murder mostly cops. 🤷‍♀️ How dare law enforcement try and stop you?!? If Sarah said “awwww, I love that for them…or awww, that’s so sad” one more time I was actually going to vomit. Wow. Yes, it’s sad their moms had to bury them. But the 9 people they killed had moms too Sarah. So gross.

    The best thing about the internet
    The best thing about the internet, despite its many pitfalls, is realizing there are people out there who are very close to your particular kind of weird. Thank you for artfully articulating lots of ideas, both big and small, that I share but never have had reflected back to me in real life. I’m glad you have this platform to entertain… and to advocate for a compassionate, curious, and humorous way of relating to the human experience.
  • Rootroof
    Three. Cheers for Sarah.
    This podcast makes me a better person. I appreciate your generosity of spirit and willingness to reinterpret history through a compassionate female-friendly lens.

    I love Sarah Marshall
    Sarah, you are remarkable. You’ve changed the way I live and breathe. I don’t look at the world in quite the same way I did before I started listening to your show. The complexity and nuance of people (especially in the media) is so often ignored or thrown away and you taught me to understand that no, it’s all still there, and to seek it out. Plus I’ve learned so much about history and culture!

    Oh boy 🤦🏽‍♀️
    I was a fan during the fluff episodes from Courtney Love, Simpson(s), and Tonya but once this extremely liberal duo started discussing topics they clearly have no experience, knowledge or understanding from Human Trafficking, sex offenders and any other topic of crime… cringe. This show deeply disturbs anyone that knows, understands and works in these areas they butchered with poor information and used a broad paint brush to discuss the topics. You can tell not only did they only use information to further their ignorant perspective but they clearly are not able to have empathy for victims of these topics. The only reason I want to write a review is because people are going to believe their failed attempt at reviewing topics they know nothing about. It’s scary how poorly they handled these topics and how people will actually believe them. Sad. Just sad.

    So healing!
    As someone who grew up in a cult, I’ve listened to sooo many cult podcasts and always felt like so much was missing! These women get it, they lived it and their content is not about the gory, salacious details but about exploring the experience of healing from being involved in a cult. Thank you for being a voice for me. I LOVE the experts you have on the show and the variety of approaches they bring to understanding the many aspects of the cult experience. I’ve learned so much and feel less shame about my childhood. Keep up the great work and dont listen to the haters!!! 💜

    People are complicated
    This show changed the way I look at almost everything. You taught me how to truly see the complexity AND simplicity in humanity. I’m beyond grateful for this space that showcases the grey and sad and beautiful and messy parts of life. I can imagine a more beautiful world because of how you helped me understand it. ❤️
  • M_Con
    Godsend
    This show fills my cup. It’s a glorious mix of all the things that weigh so heavy on my heart and the overlooked pop culture moments that have shaped our culture. I love this show and all of the guests are so amazing. I think you do such a good job balancing being hilarious while empathic and knowledgeable about serious topics that are underreported. It’s like listening to friends and I’m so grateful for this show.
  • cmdm
    please…i beg you…
    stop laughing…you’re not funny…and stick to the topic…you choose people/issues that often interest me but you talk more about yourself than the subject…i’ve tried…i’ve really tried…and I HATE YOUR VOICE…it’s so condescending and fake…your superior attitude is apparently something you cannot you can’t hide…just tried to listen hoping she’s changed…i was right the first time…

    You're wrong about podcasting
    Tried to listen but the recording quality is garbage. He sounds like he's in an empty concrete room standing 5 feet away from the mic. Her compressed audio is sloppily ripped from zoom. I don't know how people listened to this. Shameful.
  • Just Post Already!
    My newest hyperfixation
    This podcast is my newest obsession! Having lived through so many of the topics & have this perspective is priceless. I love this show & tell everyone about it. Also, I still have the ‘94 Olympic Figure Skating on VHS!
  • NicknameTaken15
    Extremely Insightful
    Can’t believe I’m only finding out about this show now, but excited to have the backlog to listen to. This show is particularly great for millennials and older, as so much of what we thought we knew about past cultural events was unknowingly shaped by media bias and rumor. It’s so refreshing to revisit these topics with better information and the critical analysis of the hosts. Every episode is packed with great points.
  • SeattleSunshine22
    Don’t waste your time
    I regret every second I wasted listening to this.

    A+
    Sarah is apparently effortlessly smart and provocative. Such a brilliant show.
  • Mayariamaya
    Best podcast period
    I love this podcast. Sarah is super smart, and her delivery is brilliant. The topics are serious, but delivered with Sarah’s almost deadpan humor and spot-on timing. I find it so relaxing to listen to that I even play it at bedtime to sleep. This is my favorite podcast now, surpassing even This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, the Moth, and Fresh Air. I’ve gone back and started listening to back episodes from the beginning. It’s the perfect combo of intellectually stimulating, newsworthiness, and relaxing banter between deep-thinking and funny friends.

    Tuskegee episode
    I started listening and it was about 10 minutes in and I stopped. As a previous disease intervention specialist I could not bare to listen to you butcher the description of syphilis. Could not trust the rest of the episode
  • Jim in Cinci
    A bit too self important
    Too snarky and disrespectful to things they don’t fully understand for my taste

    Wrong about "Superstar" Todd Haines film
    It wasn't the Carpenters but Mattel that sued Todd Haines and stopped distribution of the film. At the time Mattel, was very protective of Barbie's image. I remember seeing the film in a theater the first day it played in Washington DC, I waited in a very long line to see it a second time a week later. Then the movie disappeared.
  • Jonannewithpursiee
    Love it
    Only like 10 episodes in but so far wow the hosts are incredibly insightful and interesting. I love a deeply analytical chat between friends and this is it

    Love this Show
    Long time listener and first time reviewer. Me and all my girlies listen to You’re Wrong About. The topics and the guests are engaging and I always finish an episode feeling like I’ve learned something. Thanks for all you do, guys!!
  • ThisPodcastSucks123
    This show is what’s wrong
    While talking about the false rape duke lacrosse case they somehow find fault with the falsely accused players and give the stripper who lied a pass because she’s black. It’s gaslighting at its finest, just twisting whatever story to fit some lib narrative. Just awful
  • monster_seltzer
    great show
    So many of these one-star reviews are just blatantly sexist. “Omg a woman with thoughts?? Talking?? So annoying!!” Mike and Sarah have talked before about how they didn’t want to sound like a newscast, how they wanted to put themselves into the work, which is something I love about it. If you hate hearing a woman talk, I’m sure you can find a podcast that’s just dudes. The series on OJ Simpson—incredible. I join with the other people hoping they pick it back up!
  • Time machiner
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Sarah is clever, well-reasoned, and empathetic—an all-around great host who strikes the right balance between information and personality. Love how the show leans into the facts and figures in service of a big picture view.
  • p!nkrulez
    My favorite podcast
    I love Sarah, her clever quips and her patience and kindness for all her stories, subjects and guests. She has made this my favorite podcast over the last year, always a trustworthy listen when I’m out for a walk or what have you. I can’t believe how much research and time is put into each episode. It’s much appreciated on the listening side just how well the show is put together and produced as well. Thank you!
  • GQPGI
    i like it for the most part
    i think the topics are super interesting and informative but jesus christ sarah you are not that funny. she laughs so hard, so often and for so long at her own jokes it’s distracting and irritating. it’s like every 2 sentences she has to insert “yeah, it’s like when you blah blah blah” and it’s just too much.

    Seth
    This podcast is tragically flawed. The only thing they get right: “Youre Wrong About…” is an accurate title if it is about the opinions shared on this podcast.
  • M.S. Udinski
    Very One-sided
    You sound like you research the topics you discuss and have an interesting dialogue but are very one-sided in your presentation. If you want to present a group of people in a certain light, it would be good to TRY to see their perspective. I used to be a Democrat and “pro-choice” woman and now I am a Republican who is very pro-life. I was curious to see what the other side believes but I am disheartened that you have such a delusional view of christianity and the desire to actually protect human life. ALL HUMAN LIFE.

    Keep international politics you don’t understand out of it
    I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, given the overall political leanings of the host and the show in general, but I really wish she would keep the conflict between the Israelis and Hamas out of it. Offering hookups for pro Palestinian protests and donations to support Palestinians, as she has begun to do, is a dog whistle for a certain kind of antisemitism. I am aligned with her politics on more or less every issue except for this one and really enjoy the show overall. Supporting the Palestinians at the expense of the Israelis has become a sacred cow for a certain brand of progressive, but it is a kneejerk response, and a misapplication of Western liberal elite social justice concepts to a conflict that requires a different set of concepts, and a deep reading of history going back thousands of years for most of which the US did not exist. I will be back, but I’m going to take a break for a while.
  • Vanessaaz
    So disappointing
    Wow Sarah. I enjoyed this show for years but your highlighting the plight of Gazan (the fault of their terrorist government- Hamas) and simultaneous failure to mention Israel or the hostages in Israel truly shows your antisemitism and social justice blindness. Terrible.
  • ab530
    Moral consistency 👏
    5 stars for being morally consistent and talking about the need for a ceasefire in Gaza & encouraging listeners to get involved. There are many podcasts I listened to in the past that have been silent about this and I appreciate your support.

    Absolute Winner!
    I love every episode of this podcast! Sarah is a major contributor to the continuing education of my Gen X mind.
  • ZaZaHussain
    My comfort podcast!
    This podcast got me through my last semester of college and has become my comfort podcast!
  • Gator412
    Top Notch Pod
    Sarah and Michael are excellent hosts. This is a fantastic podcast that really busts the myths(mostly perpetuated by the media)that filled the news of my childhood in the 80’s and 90’s. The depth of the research is excellent, and the nuance and care taken over sensitive subjects is what really keeps me coming back. The hosts really know how to approach delicate topics and talk about the societal factors that play into sensational news stories.
  • Pretty crabby
    Pretty good
    I love the information and guests. I wish Sarah would stop interrupting people and laughing so loud and too long at her own jokes.
  • Cnelson914
    Give me closure!
    I’ve been binging this series from the beginning for over a month. I got to the oj series and was first confused when it started bouncing around but it’s okay. I qued the oj episodes to finish it. Just to find out we barely made it to the courtroom and it just stops?! Come on!
  • Ramemory
    Delightful and well researched
    Sarah is a delight. She is the voice of my generation, giving the real story to all of us who heard the narrative fed to us by society and were like, “wait, something doesn’t add up.” I’m blown away every episode by her ability to remind me of the experience (of say, listening to the news about Monica Lewinsky as a child) and then give me an updated perspective in a beautifully funny but poignant way. She has the zeitgeist in her hand and reveals it to her listeners (with her equally amazing guests) like it’s the finale of a Siegfried and Roy show. (Topical, I know). She says things that will kill you if you also grew up in the 80’s and 90’s, like, “to be alive in the 90’s was to crave [Chumbawomba’s] Tubthumping.”
  • CJLove88
    So many “likes”
    I find the host engaging and entertaining. However the use of “like”. Is distracting. I found myself counting the likes. Remember “like” is a filler word. It also makes a statement less impactful. Instead of saying something simply “is”. You are stating that it’s “sort of”. or “like” something
  • chuckplanet
    this podcast changed my life
    this podcast was the first podcast I listened to that made me want to go back and listen to every episode from the beginning. it’s given me perspective on so many aspects of modern life & I truly cherish Sarah Marshall’s insight, creativity, humor, and her radical sense of empathy. Every podcast asks you to leave a rating, but this is the first time I’ve actually left one. 5 stars, 10 stars, I give this podcast every star in the galaxy if I could!
  • hwalls28
    Excellent
    These are well researched and articulated episodes, she clearly puts a lot of effort into each episode and I appreciate that I can actually trust the information I’m being given
  • green mnt fan
    Don’t Ever Stop This Podcast
    I just started listening from the beginning and I am LOVING it. I think you are both hilarious and the story telling is unmatched.
  • Yopilulu
    Still love this podcast!
    But I feel endlessly incomplete without the continuation of the OJ Simpson series.
