What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dr Adam brings humor, kindness, intelligence and Yelp to bear on the humanity that is the Brown family and other reality TV families. Along the way, listeners are treated to communications theory, cow jokes, and encouragement from a unique and warm and very smart podcaster and real life academic. 10 out of 10. No notes.

LeilaMarieMI · Sep 2026

Dr Adam has such unique perspective with his communication expertise. I love hearing what he has to say about all the interactions between family members. It’s like I’m watching the show for the first time again! Look forward to his weekly rewinds.

JillP777 · Sep 2026

Genuinely my favorite podcast and love to consider all the angles of a situation Dr. Adam brings up. Also love all the stories and puns and inside and outside jokes

April4thebooks · Aug 2026

I've been listening since Dr Adam was just a baby podcaster and am just so proud of how far he's come. First Suki and now Meri and Jenn!! I've learned a lot about body language and the hidden-not-so-hidden meanings behind what people say. Pat yourself in the back, Dr Adam. Nope, stop reading and do it!

The RunnerGirl · Feb 2026

I used to enjoy the pod but since Meri has been in contact with the host and has been interviewed, there’s now a very clear bias. What I used to enjoy about the pod was it was more of an impartial view and general assessment of the cast. Now, it’s just praising and excusing every single thing Meri does and I’m not here for it.
