Chelsea is so accomplished, bright, funny, and introspective. I really enjoy her interviews with other interesting and accomplished women and the Q&A is Chelsea and her guests way of paying it forward. I left the US six years ago but Chelsea is my connection I cherish to all that is good about comedy in the States. Come to Prague Chelsea! I think you would have an enthusiastic Czech audience.

I am so grateful that I found this podcast, via Alex Cooper. I have always been a fan of Chelsea Handler as a comedian, but I had no idea how intellectual & intelligent she is. She is using her privilege as a wealthy white woman, and her platform as a celebrity, to shed light on very important issues throughout the US and the world. She covers topics ranging from politics, to human rights, to relationship dynamics (romantic & platonic). There is a diverse group of guests on each episode, and the advice that is given is so needed & so wise, and so authentic. I love that she allows her listeners to write/call in with questions && she always gives her honest opinion. She comes from a place of experience, wisdom, and empathy. You don’t really get to see her empathetic side through her comedy, but she is truly such a compassionate person. I’m actually in awe of this podcast and so grateful for it.

I’m a massive fan and have been here since day one, but that Kevin Hart interview was truly on another level! You guys knocked it out of the park with spot on advice and the banter between you two gave Snoop Dog/Martha vibes in the best possible way! Never stop and please come do a show in Italy!

I've loved to listen to Chelsea and Catherine for a long time, but adding Lovett made for the perfect podcast. Chelsea and Jon are the perfect pair, similar in some ways and complementary in others. In short, love it! 😉
KayBookReader · Oct 2024
I’ve followed Chelsea since Girls behaving badly days…but I recently wrote to the show with a relationship problem that I’ve been really struggling with. I was given a brief answer without much dialogue and quickly dismissed. Needless to say, my segment was not aired. While that part doesn’t bother me, what does bother me is that Chelsea says she wants to help people but that’s clearly not the goal. Sincerely disappointed that someone I have looked up to for so long, let me down in such a big way.
RVAinLA · Dec 2024
When 1/3 of the episode is ads it is a bit much. Also some of the episodes are so poorly edited I have to check if my device reset or I hit a button. Pretty disappointing from a celebrity who has resources to make a decent media item.
