“Danny gives thoughtful, eloquent advice, and I really enjoyed his book as well. His guests, however, can be pretty hit-or-miss. It’d be great if he can invite more guests whose expertise or lived experience is relevant to giving advice (eg the psychologists and social workers tend to be good),...”Read full review »

“Daniel gives insightful, smart, and compassionate advice. He responds to letter writers with depth and intelligence and it’s a pleasure to listen to him guide folks as they grapple with some of life’s toughest challenges. Definitely worth a listen. Thank you, Danny!”

“I started listening to you from years and years ago when you were “dear prudence”. I don’t know if you felt this as well but lately it seems to me that when you are giving advice, you dice and dice and dice it….. and take forever answering one question.”

Please do not bring her back on the show. She talked A LOT but had zero original thoughts to add. Her part of the...”Read full review »

“It’s not good anymore. The episodes don’t appear to have been edited. They ramble. The guests — always the potentially weak part of the show, even in the better Dear Prudence incarnation — are often not able to give advice, or they say really messed up things.”

“Some of the advice goes from reasonable to extreme and judgmental on a dime, and sometimes doesn’t feel like it’s based on what the letter writer wrote, and is instead based on potential extreme possibilities that might be adjacent to the original issues.”
