I especially appreciate her conversation with Adam Conover in the wake of Roe v Wade being overturned. They discussed how to overcome feelings of powerlessness and take action yourself which I found incredibly helpful and relevant to today.

Great conversation coming from younger people who share important tips they have learned from their intimate relationships. Also, more conversation is needed directed toward males to help process their feelings.
Beverly Chandran · Sep 2024
I listened to the episode of Podcrushed where Jameela more or less interviewed Penn and I just needed more of her. She’s quick witted, so incredibly intelligent, seems to have a wonderful sense of humor — and those words don’t even begin to describe how amazing her soul is. I absolutely adore this woman and find myself more times than not nodding along as she speaks on various issues with her guests, or even outwardly and enthusiastically saying “yes” during these conversations. Jameela is astonishing. Her guests are superb. If I could give this podcast four trillion stars, I absolutely would.

Only a few episodes in and LOVING the takes, the guests, everything. On the ‘cancelled’ episode right now and Jameela said something that I keep coming to as a teacher - kids are seeing what people say online and how we treat each other and they ARE bringing this to the classroom. I hear too many awful interactions that didn’t happen even a few years ago because even teenagers don’t see the difference. This is harmful and heartbreaking. Thank you for calling out the grown ups and reminding us how we need to behave to set a better example. We all deserve more humanity.
K is for Kookie · Aug 2023
I’ve listened to this podcast for years and have mostly really enjoyed it, but in the recent episode “Unpacking Pop Psychology w/Seerut K. Chawla” Jameela makes several inaccurate and harmful statements about autism/autistic people while using outdated, ableist and antisemitic terminology and functioning labels. I would normally assume a person speaking this way is just uneducated, but she’s had multiple autistic guests on the podcast in the past year to speak specifically about autism. It feels difficult to believe she didn’t learn or internalize why her statements are problematic while researching for those episodes or during the episodes themselves. As an autistic person, I’m disappointed and simply don’t feel comfortable listening to a podcast that perpetuates this kind of disinformation.

… doesn’t mean you’re interesting. I guess for some people, those two words are synonymous. Being famous also doesn’t mean you know what you’re talking about.
These are not everyday, average people. They’re rich celebrities. They’re not in touch with actual real life. They don’t have the same problems as us and they certainly don’t know how to fix mental health issues. (My food budget for the next 6 days is negative $4. My OCD is so bad that I’ve started memorizing the periodic table in an attempt to keep intrusive thoughts at bay. I can’t afford a specialized therapist, ketamine treatment or even organic chamomile tea, for that matter). This podcast is just glossy, superficial quackery.
