The Dr. Phil Podcast

I love listening to your Dr. Phil Podcast! I appreciate you bringing attention to so many problems we have here in America, and that you never sugar coat it. You always deliver your episodes in intelligent, respectful ways when speaking. I’ve learned so much since I started listening, and can’t wait to learn more!

I always loved Dr Phil, but with streaming services taking over, I forgot to tune in… for years. Stumbled across this podcast, at a perfect time in my life. His no nonsense advice has always resonated with me, and this podcast, Living by Design specifically, is the best format to get your dose of dr Phil!

Dr. Phil, I’m a Millennial & I’ll admit it truthfully, I blew you off as a “fraud” & never watched the show, or watched if nothing was on. I’m 36, now, going BACK to school for Psychology, bc it saved my life! Saved me from addiction, trauma, PTSD, so much. Your interviews with Trump/RFK are FANTASTIC. I pick up on some Psych terms you use, & I LOVE your hard hitting questions & depth into the personality of the person before you. I’m just very worried about the country, & we have to look everywhere for the answer. Turns out I never gave you a chance bc I was an angry teen in the 2000s and you were a beacon of light at that time I turned away from. You, sir, are a very qualified if NOT MORE SO Dr. & a hope for this country.

Growing up I had a sort of detached disdain for Dr. Phil. As a kid, we viewed him as just some nut job on TV trying to drum up drama for ratings ala Jerry Springer, Oprah, Maury, Ricky Lake, yada yada. As an adult, I naturally assumed he was going to be a left wing liberal, blindly supporting the narrative the Oprah and her illiberal and ignorant sheep that viewed her as some sort of Goddess. But time after time in the last few years, a period of history that will forever be known as a time of utter chaos and a lack of common sense, Dr. Phil kept spouting common sense truth everywhere I heard his name come up. So I looked into him and found this new podcast. I've been listening for several months now, and he's repeatedly hitting the targets/topics that concern ME as a citizen of the United States and also as a human being on planet earth. I want to personally thank him for his help in WNC and his coverage helping to open the eyes (or so I hope) of so many that actually believed our government was helping these people and they were all doing great now and we can move on as a country. NO. They need our help still to this very moment. They are living in tents this winter while I sit and listen to Dr. Phil podcasts while I work in the comfort of a heated office and we need the new media to continuously expose the truth until the government finally does step up in full force to help instead of trying to steal their land. He also has the courage to cover the CCP, who is actively trying to undermine our country. There's a risk associated with taking on topics like this and he isn't letting that stop him from voicing his concerns and beliefs (which largely seem to echo my own as a grown, common sense appreciating, adult male). Maybe Dr. Phil was alwyas this guy and as a kid I was too ignorant myself to understand the truth. But I'm glad he came back around and started his new media company and is out there doing the job he is now; a job all our main stream media should be covering and are not.

I had high expectations Dr. Phil's, but unfortunately, I left feeling disappointed by him. I will no longer support him. While the show often tackles important social and psychological issues, it seems more focused on sensationalism than providing meaningful solutions. Dr. Phil, who is often portrayed as a no-nonsense, straight-talking professional, comes across more as a TV personality than a genuine therapist at times. Many of the episodes feel scripted, and rather than addressing deep-rooted problems, they seem to exploit people’s vulnerabilities for entertainment value. The solutions offered feel surface-level, and at times, the interactions seem more about creating dramatic moments for ratings than offering real help. While Dr. Phil has a large following, I am disappointed by his endorsement. It seems like wealthy men often stick together and exploit the vulnerable.

I have been a Dr Phil fan forever! I am so disappointed ! Dr Phil’s obvious favor of former President Trump is frustrating in this and other Phil in the Blank podcasts that I have listened to. In this, an episode that was supposed to be a unbiased look at the debate. Your questions to the audience were more slanted than anything the moderators did during the debate. You made no mention of the horrible lies Trump spewed about Springfield Ohio legal immigrants and his ridiculous comments about them eating cats and dogs!! It didn’t even make your list of things to ask your audience about! I wonder why you did not ask for their reaction to his comments about that and/or talk about his body language at that moment. I was looking forward to an in-depth conversation about the subject of the debate. Your opinion was obvious and no one is wondering who you are supporting in this election. It’s certainly your right, but I could respect it if you just come out and endorse him rather than pretend to be unbiased. Very disappointed in someone I have highly respect and quoted your words of advice for years!
