What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I typically listen through Spotify, (so sorry Apple) however I haven’t figured out how to leave a review through that platform so here we are. I came across Meghan in the Youtube era of Lilly and Jocelyn (adored the content then and still adore it now). But, January of 2016 is when I became an avid follower. I was personally struggling mentally and as a freshman in college at the time I was away from my support system. Meghan had posted a video “What Having Anxiety Feels Like” on her channel and I’ve followed along ever since. I came across Melisa through this podcast and instantly fell in love with her personality. Both woman offer so many people such a safe space with their platforms and I don’t know if you both truly understand the impact that you have. So, I will be graduating with my PhD this summer and I truly don’t think I would’ve gotten through all those late nights without the familiar voices and positive outlooks of these two strong woman. Thank you.

Since I started listening to this podcast I graduated high school and am about to graduate college and I think you guys have taught me more than both of those experiences combined. I’m thankful for my education in Meghan and Melisa’s philosophy of life, work, and relationships. It has saved me from many a messy situation (but not too many bc I still have stuff to call about). My brain has been expanded in wonderful ways by your beautiful words.

Welcome to the MMU (Meghan and Melissa Universe). Here you will find icons who can guide you to greatness, if you let them. Every week the MMU tackles topics such as friends urinating on you and the ultimate sloppy toppy techniques. The MMU regularly battles a host of villains such as Big Milk, Drake, and Lea Michelle. Tune in to watch good triumph over evil, every time. On a serious note, this is a wonderful podcast rich with ethical advice. Meghan and Melissa are compassionate, strong, and intelligent women who put so much good out into the world. Open your ears and ye shall receive. Love you all!!!! ❤️🤝🥰

I found the podcast a few years ago so I had some catching up to do. I listened from the beginning and finally caught up this week. I’m devastated that I did because now I have to wait for episodes as they come out (due to the M and M multiverse of podcasts I won’t have to wait long but still). These two fantastic women truly care about their audience and the messages they are putting out into the world. In the few years that I have listened I can honestly say I have changed for the better. I’ve discovered my worth and stood up for myself and I can attribute that to Meghan and Melisa’s advice and general outlook on life and the world. Thank you both so much and please keep doing what you’re doing!! 💕

Oprah 😉 · Jan 2023

I’ve been listening to the show for years and I love it, but the ads have gotten ridiculous lately. The last episode had 29 minutes of content and 18 minutes of ad reads. Sitting through ads that long in a podcast is way too much.

Angrykatiee · Jan 2024

Comes across very negative. The host, Meghan speaks entirely too fast, so it’s very difficult to understand what she says. Closed captioning even has a hard time keeping up!! She doesn’t complete her sentence before starting a new one. She should S L O W D O W N…take breaths. Melisa is much easier on the ears— I would recommend letting her talk more!!
