Desperately Devoted

by iHeartPodcasts

Dear Neighbor, Welcome back to Wisteria Lane. You are cordially invited to Desperately Devoted—a re-watch of the groundbreaking show Desperate Housewives. We welcome you to wander with us as we stroll past the picket fences, and straight into the homes and hearts of the Wisteria Lane. Hosted by award-winning actress Teri Hatcher, her on-screen daughter Andrea Bowen, and her real-life daughter Emerson Tenney, this podcast brings together three women with distinct perspectives to reflect on the iconic storylines and characters that resonated across generations. Teri and Andrea share insider insight and firsthand memories, while Emerson brings a fresh, modern perspective as she watches the full series for the first time. Together, they use each delicious episode as a springboard for deeper conversations—about relationships, parenting, sex, identity, or even what it means to live across the street from your nemesis and still fail at making good mac & cheese (IYKYK). Yes, there are secrets behind the drapes and drama on every corner, but Desperately Devoted offers something more: a thoughtful, witty, and heartfelt look at how this series shaped—and was shaped by—the cultural moment it came from. Whether you're a longtime fan or stepping onto the block for the very first time, consider this our love letter to Wisteria Lane—and an open invitation to all who want to revisit its charm, complexity, and chaos. After all, an apple a day doesn’t always keep the drama away... We’re so glad you’re here. Desperately, Devoted.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Desperate Housewives was my comfort show growing up in London. I remember having to download the episodes on my dialup internet - crikey! Even though it took about 5 hours to download each episode, it was worth it. When I moved to LA, I was finally able to access it like a normal person through the TV, and make a point of watching the whole series from start to finish every couple of years. Having this podcast, puts it into present day and makes it feel just as contemporary and current as it was back then. If you love Desperate Housewives, then this is the ultimate podcast for you. Teri, Andrea and Emerson have such a great dynamic, and are a pleasure to listen to along with their superb guests. I’m savoring every pod episode, and hope they will cover every one from all 8 seasons. Definitely desperately devoted to this pod, and you will be too!

Archiesaysso · Jan 2026

I love Desperate Housewives, and this podcast has been a fun listen with a great trio at the helm. The interviews are especially strong, and I imagine they’ll eventually bring on more women from the show while continuing to revisit guests over time. The only thing that feels a bit lacking is the focus on the specific episode being covered. Some episodes offer thoughtful takes and a more grounded revisit of what’s happening in the story, but as a rewatch podcast host myself, I know fans also come to hear more direct discussion of the episode, even without a full walkthrough. That said, I’m sticking around because I genuinely enjoy it, the memories, conversations, personal stories, and reflections through a modern lens still make it a worthwhile and entertaining listen.

horror1390 · Jan 2026

This is my new favorite podcast, it is so joyous and positive. The hosts are intelligent and interesting. Really enjoying their conversations. I love the concept. I have always loved Desperate Housewives and this podcast makes me appreciate Teri Hatcher even more. She was so good in this show! It is obvious that Teri is a very genuine person and it is so nice to hear the compliments and experiences from the guests on the pod 👍🏼🙂

MerrimackValleyAli · Nov 2025

I do love the show, I look forward to it every week. The My only pet peeve is the sound production 😬 I have to adjust volume all the time because sometimes I can’t hear anything and then the other minute the laughter just hurts my ears. I understand that some voices are more overpowering than others but that’s what sound production is for. It really doesn’t take too much to level everyone’s voices so it’s not only interesting but also pleasant to listen to without keeping a finger on the volume bar.

tbh idc jk · Oct 2025

DH is my favorite show of all time and I was hoping this would be like most rewatch podcasts where they actually discuss the episode, but mostly they just talk about random stuff that may be loosely associated to the episode but not really. If you want to talk more about your personal life that’s great but don’t do it on a rewatch podcast. That’s not what we’re here for. Hopefully they figure this out because I’ve been desperate for a DH rewatch podcast.

Chachasboys · Oct 2025

They might just be finding their footing, but a suggestion I have would be to break down the episode in depth like most other rewatch podcasts do. For reference, see “Office Ladies” and “Pod Meets World.”
