What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I want joy. This show brings me joy. I found this show, listening to the episodes about Artemis II - and I was thrilled to find people having enthusiasm filled conversation about the things that bring joy and hope. Resting my attention on these conversations feels calming and also energizing. The speedy clip of words from the host, Liz, does not require me to speed up playback to 1.5 x or more - instead, I can follow along like I’m conversing with an ADHD bestie. You bring me joy!

This is my new favorite podcast!! It’s so cozy and fun to listen to! I love Liz from man enough and synced so much and I love hearing more from her! She is such an amazing feminist and activist! This podcast is so much more than just boy problems she talks about a lot of deep issues and also keeps it light and fun too with a range of amazing topics and guests! Liz is so good at keeping the conversation flowing in a really engaging and fun way!

This podcast is everything!!! Funny, authentic, and truth telling. Liz is so engaging and real and I’m constantly telling my enthusiastic agreement with her points while I listen. LOVE and highly recommend this show!!!

Samia Mounts · Nov 2025

Liz’s words and works make me believe that we might be able to come together thru all this mess. Honest and so relatable and boy does the world need more of this. There’s light all around but the fog of social media & our society of dissociation that makes it hard to see what we are up against or who is on what side. Thank you Liz, you’re a comedic and real light in this foggy world. “Cheers friends, tune into to next week where we dismantle the oppressive authoritarian systems bit by bit with love and care for ourselves, the strangers and our neighbors <3”

Queerbeerguy · Oct 2025

I really liked Liz from the Synced podcast and actually often sided with her. But having listened to all the episodes of this podcast, I can now see why Liz and Monica had so much tension. I think Liz struggles with being authentic and tends to be very performative to try and be liked by her guests. She also exudes uncomfortable pick me energy anytime men are on her show. I have a feeling that her and Monica could not make it work because as frustrating as Monica can be, she is very structured and pretty grounded. I think Liz’s podcast would be a lot more enjoyable and comfy to listen to if she could relax into a more authentic version of herself - not the person she thinks she should be to impress or intrigue her guests. I will still listen to her podcast and hope she takes this as constructive feedback, because I really enjoyed Liz on Synced where she just seemed more centered and able to hold space for another person.
