What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Skip all the TikTok gurus flooding your algorithm and LISTEN TO DR. Laura. My parents used to have me listen back in the day. I grew up with her books helping me through so much. She’s on point and maybe even better all these years later.

Meg ok · Aug 2026

I have been a listener for a few years now and I am amazed at Dr. Laura’s clear headedness, straight, caring, understanding, and wise advice. I’ve never called with my issues and struggles, but all the calls and the letters Dr. Laura addresses resonate with me. I appreciate every episode that is available on media platforms because it helps me think through my issues. I appreciate your motherly advice and wisdom Dr. Laura. I often Share what I heard and learned from your programs with my daughter which helps us navigate our relationship and work through issues towards establishing a lasting, understanding, and loving connection. Thank you. We will keep listening.

I remember listening to Dr. Laura many years ago on the radio. When I stumbled across her IG account, I was thrilled to see she’s still out here giving solid, sage advice. At 57, I’m in one of the most challenging seasons of my life, and I listen to her podcast every day to keep myself grounded. Every situation she tackles teaches me something I can apply to my own life. The circumstances may differ, but the core principles stay the same—and she reminds me of that daily. Thank you, Dr. Laura, for choosing to continue doing what you do. You are truly a blessing. I’m a faithful listener who proudly gives you FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❤️

Cindy in the south · Feb 2026

The last few years have been extremely difficult for me but with this podcast's guidance, I've not only been able to endure it, but also learn from and THRIVE - thank you Dr. Laura, for all that you do!

AllisonCrews · Feb 2025

I am a parent of 3 adult children and a grandmother of 9 grandchildren. I listened to Dr. Laura many years ago on the radio as I was raising my kids and loved her. I recently tried to listen to her podcast on 4 separate occasions and I was absolutely appalled by every episode. She has become so crude and is completely rude to her callers. These people are calling for help and she continues to interrupt them and telling them to stop talking… I am baffled! She doesn’t hear them out to and listen to why they are calling. If she did maybe she could possibly help them?!

blessed · Apr 2025

Way too many ads! Especially for such short clips. Not a good user experience. Interesting content, advice, and perspective minus the rudeness and condescension. Being mean adds zero value.
