What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve listened to the podcast for 10+ years after reading Dan’s column in our local Pitch weekly newspaper for years before that. I may not always agree with him, but I will always appreciate his efforts to de-mystify sex and relationships. I also love his advocacy for the LGBTQ community! All this and his show is STILL so enjoyable to listen to! Thanks, Dan!

Kon Krypton · Jul 2026

This podcast is absolutely phenomenal! It’s therapeutic, extremely educational, and diverse! I honestly never thought a podcast could have such a profound impact on my life! Dan Savage himself, his guest speakers, and callers share and give incredibly level headed advice aided with empathy and compassion!

Kjudson · May 2025

So much more than sex advice, it’s life advice! Funny, opinionated, and always thoughtful—Dan’s perspective can help anyone live and love better.

Re: Bonus Episode on April 1st Long-time listener here. I get that you may have done this episode as a “practical joke” on this occasion for April Fool’s but if so, there was literally nothing funny about it. I decided to stop listening after listening to Dan’s responses to the first three calls because the diatribe of condescension just because too much. This podcast is supposed to be informative and entertaining, right? Not voyeurism of Dan Savage punishing listener for what he seems to deem stupid questions.Not only were his responses entirely unhelpful and patronizing but the pattern of condescension to some listener calls over time has become cringe worthy and honestly feels like an embarrassing glimpse into Dan’s misplaced sense of superiority and the ugliness living inside of his mind. Treating so many of these listener calls as if the callers were stupid, especially in such a public way, speaks volumes about Dan rather than embarrassing the callers as he seems to intend to do when “roasting them.” It’s just gotten dark, Dan. I know you’re going through it with your injured shoulder but cope, my man. Or don’t record the episode at all if you’re going to be this vicious to some of your callers. Or just pick different listener calls to answer where you’re actually answering the question and not just cutting the person down to size. Honest feedback, man. It’s not healthy to be this vicious to people, let alone so publicly. And I’m not just talking about this particular episode. I hope you give it some sincere thought and don’t just discard this as criticism. All the best.

Dan once cut through sexual myths with common sense. Now he suggests the government tolerates contaminated lettuce because diarrhea keeps Americans from voting, then advertises dubious “bigger load” supplements that cannot reliably deliver what they promise. He has become the credulous crank he used to mock and tries to monetize on his listener’s insecurities. One star for the old Dan, one for the occasional moment when he resurfaces.

Dmagen · Aug 2026

Why list the magnum guest when it’s not in the actual podcast? I listened to an episode waiting for the interview with the guest I was interested in. A half hour in I find out that’s a separate subscription thing. I thought it was misleading, there’s no mention in the into that the gusts listed aren’t actually on the show here. I was disappointed I wasted my time and didn’t even enjoy the 33 minutes of show i heard
