“Love the podcast, the content, the host, but I really wish she would get rid of the smooches. It gives off creepy vibes and sets my misophonia on fire. Not enough to stop me from listening because I can just skip over that part, but the times that I’m not able to reach my phone fast enough to...”Read full review »

“Damona’s advice feels like talking to a wiser best friend who sees beyond the mushy feelings to the real stuff you’re too blinded by oxytocin to see. Like how he’s not calling/texting you back after the first date and that you deserve someone who’s just as excited about you, because you’re worth...”Read full review »

“If you’re looking for applicable, useful dating advice this isn’t the show for you. Most of the advice almost seems like a joke. If you’re looking for fun pop culture dating news and interesting guests here and there, maybe you’ll enjoy it. It’s an entertaining listen, but realistically I...”Read full review »
