“I hope no one actually follows this advice. Yes it’s entertaining but sound and beneficial? Definitely not. Some people write in w serious issues that could benefit from some actual counseling. Not pat answers with straight lady bias and major gaps in understanding. There’s a lot of criticism of...”Read full review »

“Telling a person that’s being stalked at work to “not bring it to HR because they may think you’re part of the drama” and then suggesting that they QUIT their job instead is a wild take. The host is literally advocating to accept abuse and potentially forgo your own stability in order to not rock...”Read full review »

“Yikes on the anti-police rhetoric. Super judgmental viewpoints except on what is clearly important to her, and her very like-minded guests. Doesn’t seem able to think critically and if your opinion is different, you are wrong/ shamed. Very bizarre option for someone giving advice.”

“Normally I love this podcast but occasionally the quality of the guest’s sound is so off that it’s hard to hear and understand. Please, dear Prudence, don’t drop a show if the guest sounds like they are in a tin can.”

“The advice is always very one sided. I joined slate plus just for this podcast as I had heard it was great for advice. I have been very disappointed. I understand wanting to be PC but the advice Prudie gives is so one sided and she seems edited in her responses so that she won’t get canceled. Her...”Read full review »

“I love this series, and I look forward to new episodes every Friday, but there was just something about the latest that isn’t sitting right with me. I think Jenée was way too casual about discussing potential ED. In fact, the segment would’ve benefitted from a brief CW. Also, that suggestion...”Read full review »

“Did this come up on my podcast list? Didn’t like this one- not clever, her advice is incredibly limited like she doesn’t have much life experience, or unique perspectives either. She jumps to weird conclusions and it’s not pleasant listening to her voice.”

“I just listened to two episodes - one about a girlfriend who wants her boyfriend to post photos of her on social media and a sister who has been asked to take down a wedding photo at her own house because it might offend her brother’s fiancé. In both cases - such unwise advice. And also -...”Read full review »

“If you don’t have kids and don’t want them this is not the podcast. Terrible advice about “changing your mind” and saying that you should change your whole life around other’s kids is very gross and tiring.
Women are more than kids but they don’t get that and don’t give rational advice like...”Read full review »

“Hello. Sometimes it feels like you are not looking at the case from all angles; it feels like you are blurting out the first idea that comes to your mind. When people write in, you gotta consider that they are going to take what you say to heart. There is an answer one gives when a question is...”Read full review »

“Prudence your valley girl/vocal fry is incredibly annoying. I recognize it’s also very contagious so if your friends speak with this affectation can be difficult to overcome. Please see a speech therapist before it impacts your professional life.”

“Whether it’s the host who pronounces the “n” in “columnist” or the illiterate letter readers who are saying half of these words for the first time (again, incorrectly), I can’t handle how dumb everyone is. Also that the gist and all of her guests make everything about race and being black, even...”Read full review »

“This podcast reminds me of a Reddit board. A great place to get in-depth answer to a question, but the advice will be super biased with a high chance of being wrong. So as long as someone listens to the advice as they would an open forum of non-experts on a subject, it’s well-produced and...”Read full review »

“First of all, I’m shocked that a so called “expert” on social interactions would describe herself as a “gossip”. To me, talking about anyone maliciously behind their back is small and close-minded, and just plain mean.

On a more serious note why are you NOT advising a victim of child sexual abuse to contact authorities and make a police report?
