    Fantastic Podcast
    Every episode is interesting, engaging, sincere and really authentic. Your sense of humor causes no,pauses. Thank you for another wonderful Rob Lowe expertise!
  • Alyson Dutch
    Entertainment industry insider
    Growing up in Los Angeles, and working in the entertainment industry early in my career, it’s fun to listen to this podcast of my peers. Rob is an authentically curious and kind interviewer who kibbutzes with his pals, names who were part of my popular culture landscape as a kid in El Lay. I especially loved the episode with Gene Simmons of KISS who I found out was a first generation American from Hungary - just like me!
  • Rob Vale
    Killed it with Gene!
    Thanks Rob!
  • QueensYankeeGal
    Awesome Podcast
    I love this podcast so much. Rob is an excellent interviewer with a curious mind and wonderful sense of humor. The variety of guests cover a wide range of different types. I want to personally apologize to Rob Lowe for thinking he was just a pretty boy back in the day. I highly recommend this podcast to everyone.

    Mel Robbins
    Wonderful episode! Let them. I will listen repeatedly til I incorporate to daily life. Thanks Rob!

    Demi Moore
    I just listened to my first podcast of yours. I scrolled down as far as I could until I found Demi Moore. I loved listening to your stories. My husband was an alcoholic and it meant a lot to me to hear what y’all had to say. I truly enjoyed it and I will be listening to more. Thank you!
  • karenbdvm
    Rob’s pod is awesome
    Love hearing Rob talk to his guests! He always has great spontaneous sounding conversations and interesting insights. Plus it takes me back to my Gen X roots!
  • DoggieJK

    This is a yes vote to make that trailer / movie!!!!

    Hey Rob! I love the podcast and I hope we get a season 3 of unstable! Please

    Rob, why did you not do the interview with Andrew for his movie BRATZ????
  • Jes1275
    Coppola Episode
    I gave 5 stars because Rob rarely has a bad episode and I don’t want to ruin the rating over a single bad one. I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to at least 95% of them and the best are often the non entertainment people with just a few exceptions, Oddly , John Stamos was great and so are a lot of the writers and comedians. With that said, skip the Coppola episode. It has some interesting stuff on outsiders but a lot of it just isn’t real engaging. Doesn’t help that it starts with drivel about Elon Musk, the greediest man on the planet, with Coppola saying Elon just loved people that’s why he wants no regulation on business, basically just so he can get to Mars faster. What?!? I don’t even think the dumbest person on the planet believes that one.
  • Bozcricket
    Jeff Bridges
    This is my first episode of Rob’s podcast and I can see he has a list of great guests, but I hope they are different from this one with 💙Jeff Bridges. I understand maybe being excited, but he constantly interrupted Jeff & talked over him just to tell stories about himself. That’s not why we tuned in Rob. It was frustrating.
  • $putter$
    You
    You always say you didn’t get to your questions. Well duh? You spend the whole time talking about yourself
  • Winnifred165
    ❤️
    Rob, this is the best episode. Bobby Lee is so good.
  • Callie not from Cali
    Dodger!
    I love the show Rob! I especially love when you talk about the Dodgers. Please have Dave Roberts on the show.
  • Moderate Sista
    I needed you and Timothy Shriner today.
    Thank you for this conversation. One of the most heartbreaking outcomes for me pre and post election has been the disregard for human decency by some our political leaders. I so needed a conversation today about how to navigate forward with people I disagree with politically. Thank you.
  • Go Lynx!
    Bring back the 80’s
    I love the podcast! Rob and I are the same age so I grew up watching him and all the Brat Pack and love them all! 🥰
  • kirk in seattle
    Dull as a river rock
    Uninspired and insipid questions.
  • BejeweledMike
    Like the show, but cannot support.
    Sorry Rob. I like the show and have listened for a long time, but I can’t support the show when you run ads for Ohio. I realize not everyone in Ohio is bad, but they continue to vote for Vance, Jordan, and Trump.
  • Bambootim
    Awesome
    Really great interview w dana carvey. Best podcast interview i heard in a long time
  • Leslie SZ
    Great podcast!
    Rob can spill the Hollywood tea and still be respectful. He knows lots of people. A good listener and conversation is interesting. 2nd Review- Mark Duplass, great interview. I watched his movie Penelope on Hulu, very, very good. Different from most series, Unexpected ending.
  • cmdm
    rob is so arrogant and entitled…
    no matter the guest, sadly, cannot listen…
  • Kraz4paper
    Great interview with the Amazing Keith Urban
    I really enjoyed the interview with Keith Urban. Loved the live audience and they had great questions. More than your stellar careers, I admire both you and Keith for your dedication to your marriages and families. Keep up the great work!
  • Cheryl*K
    Keith
    Can’t sleep listening to you and Keith felt like we were all just hanging out! Best 48mins 🙏 thank you.

    The Outsiders
    The new, longer version, of The Outsiders is fabulous. A must watch for anyone the loved the book.

    Endorsing Walmart?

    Having a Moment
    Rob Lowe you’re everywhere these days and that’s a great thing! Love your podcast and Netflix series. Thanks for the great interviews and a fun look into your personal and professional world.
  • Tilli Brown

    As I assist and care for my 97 year old mother Emmajean, I find myself struggling. We make it work. I have a son in sober living thank goodness and as a widow and 62, life is challenging. To offset car rides with mom we picked to listen to you. From Toledo and we live in Pioneer on a lake. It was episode with Michael J. Fox. Fantastic and so needed. Mom is mad and sad that age is in her way. To listen regarding finding gratitude which can sustain optimism was amazing. Thank you so much.

    My 2 Favorite Podcasters Together
    Just finished listening to you and Ashley Flowers!!! I could listen to you two together all day!! Hearing you talk about Bigfoot reminded me of The Lowe Files! What a great episode this was. Kathy
  • unhappy trial user Cathy
    Used to like you
    Everyone says some stupid things every now and then but how you compared yourself to Karen Carpenter is just plain reprehensible and gross. It makes you look like a complete idiot and of course as everyone notices on YouTube is in poor taste. Stop talking about yourself for a minute and think about others around you. I used to be a big fan of yours but not anymore and unfollowed this podcast. Great, now more nostalgic actors ruin my memories. Get it together Rob Lowe. There is no excuse and you’re really not as good looking as you think.
  • The Nameless Twin
    Great starter!
    I heard a comedian who did an episode a while back mention this show and decided to check it out… and I was luck enough to have the newest episode be with Dan Carlin, whose history podcasts I love!
  • Brooke LOVE😉🫶🏻
    UH
    A YOOOOO
  • Tini Eagle
    No Coke for Duckie
    I was listening to this today while hiking, and was laughing out loud. Other people couldn’t see my air pods and just thought I was a deranged woman cackling in the woods. They aren’t wrong, but in this case I gotta say these 2 hit it out of the park! Excellent episode!
  • For my listening enjoyment
    So GOOD!
    My husband and I agree that this podcast is so entertaining and FUN! And Rob Lowe is “easy on the ears” for our listening enjoyment. We just so look forward to the conversations found here.
  • Caligirlintx99
    Matthew Lowe Episode
    Ok I am a big fan of the West Wing! So when Matthew mentioned he was in one of the episodes I had to go back and find it! I think you said it was called “Noel”, I watched it but no Matthew, I did see him in Season 1 Episode 10 called Excelsis Deo! He was standing in front of President Bartlett (Martin Sheen).

    Dr. Hyman
    I have been listening to random episodes of this podcast for over a month now. Any tidbits of information I retain usually is shared on social media or with people in my real life. Mostly it’s been pop culture. Today it was Dr. Hyman. Since I watched “Forks Over Knives” I have been rather aware of what I am putting into my body. High Fructose Corn Syrup has barely gotten inside me since. I indulge with a soda pop every once in a while. That being said, I was most attentive for this episode. Please do more every so often. I shared this particular episode with more people than any other episode. A handful of pecans a day keeps the doctor away. I also still eat apples, bananas, yada, yada. Love the show, An Ohioan, Tim Kendel

    Adriene Mishler
    I love this podcast and was so excited that Adriene was a guest. But ya know I am gonna need the brand name of that eye mask! 😃
  • PH Drama Mama
    Surprised
    I found this accidentally and was very surprised how engaging and interesting these podcasts have been. I have been enjoying the new podcasts each week with the diversity of topics and people. I certainly have a new impression of Rob Lowe after listening to many of these and was again surprised at his candor and knowledge. It was not at all what I expected and have been pleasantly surprised! I had the “public persona” of him, but as you listen you find he is very intelligent and diverse. He also guides the interview, but lets the guest talk prompting with great questions and encouraging their “stories”. I really recommend and think you too will be surprised!
  • Geetee100
    Great Podcast
    I love his podcast. Sometimes I don’t know who his guests are and am so glad I listened as they usually turn out to be such interesting people. He seems so genuine and a true family man.
  • Stacey Mitchell Kane
    All of Rob Lowe’s Literally Podcasts
    I must say, Rob Lowe’s podcast Literally is one of the best ones that I have listened to. I like his energy and he has a warm, funny, open and engaging way - as do the people that he has on the show. It’s really a pleasure and it’s also nice to see that he has not turned into an a-hole after all of these years. Keep it up Rob! Thank you.
  • Tampabrett
    Great Podcast
    Rob is a great Host, is there anything this man can’t do? Worth a listen.
  • Nyr1994!
    Fire hose of knowledge
    Best podcast you’ve ever done. So much information. Good information. I sent it to my kids, they probably won’t listen to it but they should. Get rid of TikTok and the Chinese government
  • simply_Donna
    The Earth’s 70% water…
    …and you’re parched! (I read that somewhere) The great thing about this podcast is that the topics and the personalities are always changing. Some are on a deeper level, some are more whimsical, more humorous, etc., the list goes on, which is exactly what I need. Rob has a talent and the right character to deliver it. I have listened to various podcasts but only subscribed to a handful, including this one. Thank you Rob, and thanks to the fantastic crew behind it too… literally!!
  • It’s Julie
    Lowe/Cryer = Genius conversation!
    I came of age with you you two, so this episode soooo resonated with me, as I’m a huge admirer of both of your unique talent and careers, and minds, and totally appreciated all of the stellar backstories! Especially love you, Rob!💖
  • Matzahboy
    Guests always relaxed with rob
    If you think you know Rob Lowe from his movies and tv shows get ready. He disarms any celebrity that he interviews into a chill hang. He always has a story about any interesting characters from Hollywood fish bowl. If your just getting started definitely listen some of SNL guests from his movies. Ps if your lucky he will sometimes do impressions of his old friend Bill Paxton
  • SariFlauna
    Literally A Joy to Listen To
    Loved the Marc Andreessen episode, learned more about TikTok and AI in one hour than the entirety of my life. Thanks Rob and Marc!!!
  • ShanPom
    Dr Hyman episode
    Love these educational and applicable to improving life episodes!
  • Gus Riggins
    F Bombs
    I am sad to say, even though I enjoy your podcast and guests, I have to stop listening because of your F Bombs, You use it as causal language and I find it disrespectful.
  • Tr314
    Yes !
    Love the episode with Dr. Hyman! Learned tons! Please more like this. It is so right about “there is no food in our food.” Other countries have much stricter mandates when it comes to food and what is in (or not in) the food. Thank you!
