What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I gave up social media for a little bit and fell in love with podcast. Angie Martinez interviewing Angela Simmons was the first podcast I watched on my TV. Prior to that I would watch them on my phone. It was something about having Angie on my television. I felt like she was in my living room. It was almost as I was sharing space with her and Angela. Since then I have watched almost every IRL interview “What have I been missing” I asked my friends. Real people, real interviews, sharing their truth. It’s been a joy. Angie been that girl since I was a kid. I look forward to these interviews. I may never go back to Facebook or IG 😂. Keep up the good work Angie

Angie is already a og in this arena but the pod is so beautiful. Her guests are all from different industries, she’s not spreading gossip and the interviews are always positive.

QueenBarnsii · Sep 2025

Every interview has made me dig deeper within myself. Although, all the episodes are good. I truly enjoyed Luenell. She was real, raw, edgy with her natural flair of humor. I find myself constantly replaying her interview. Angie Martinez does such a great job at guiding conversation. She produces authentic dialogue while also respecting boundaries.

J.Sade · Nov 2024

I skipped over the Janelle Monae interview and I went back to listen to it this week!!!! It was so DOPE!!!! It really helped me to realize that we are so much more similar than we are different and we’re all just working to live a good life. I LOVED her phone notes so much I recorded them to remind myself of them later. This is some of your BEST work Angie Martinez!!!! Thanks so much for allowing us to come along in the journey!!!!
