What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dr Nelson just comes out and says it: no sugar coating, no prepackaged sound bytes. Just plain honest talk. Compassionate, insightful, nonjudgmental. She is the real deal, and yet her podcast isn’t just about sex, but about human interaction and our well-being. Take her most recent episode about anxiety (June, 2025). In it, she talks not just about anxiety and how it impacts an individual’s sex life, but how anxiety it a growing concern in our world today, for young and old alike. In most episodes, Dr Tammy is a thoughtful and intriguing interviewer, but in this episode, she flies solo in a compelling, heartfelt, and vulnerable monologue. I never miss an episode.

Listening to Dr Tammy‘s podcast is like listening to a really good, spicy conversation At a coffee shop or a restaurant. Except we’re not eavesdropping- this is actually for us! I love the ease of Dr Tammy‘s manner and how she has a talent for making her guests feel at home. She takes the shame out of female sexuality and I’m really grateful to her for this. Keep up the good work – we need you right now, Dr Tammy!
