I adore Marina Franklin as a stand-up comedian. I re-watch Marina Franklin’s amazing stand-up comedy special “Single Black Female” often!!! Comedians like her are superheroes to me because they literally make life better. Her humor is not only hilarious, topical, blunter-than-anyone and...Read full review »

Marina and her guests share interesting and insightful discussions that feel personal in the best sense, but are not navel-gazing (unlike many comedians, who seem to just want to talk about themselves without having much to say). Marina is a great host, providing her thoughtful, funny commentary...Read full review »

This review is long overdue. Marina and her guests keep me informed and entertained. I have learned about so many comics. Marina hasn’t had a “Keisha” moment in awhile but her “Karen” moments are just as funny. This podcast is just a feel good podcast. Thanks Marina.

Came across her standup on Amazon Prime. Found her on Twitter and she mentioned her podcast. Really informative and hilarious. Good stuff.

En pointe. Love this podcast. Hope Marina gets a Netflix special and the attention she deserves with her comedy. 💫

I do not agree with what was said about blackness being a 1st generation American and parents being from Kenyan does not mean I am not considered an African American. So does that mean I have not had struggles of other African Americans here no I have base it on experiences not we’re our parents...Read full review »
Kenyan American 26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
100. 10/10. Would recommend. It is uncensored, so just a note, but listening to Marina Franklin and her thoughtful gathering of friends each week has been a reprieve and a highly important refuge for me this summer. As a white woman, working from home, in a pandemic, and mostly in communication...Read full review »

Great conversations and people on this podcast!
Sarah Moped via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/20
I’ve followed this show for years. It’s amazing to see a person evolve and that’s what happens with the host, Marina Franklin. She goes from dating white men exclusively (and doing their devil’s advocate stuff) to limiting herself to woke whites only. No matter politics, she is HILARIOUS!! My...Read full review »

Heard about you through Mara’s podcast and just thought I would say...I’m so happy I did. I’ve been talking to myself a lot more while listening but whatever 😂😂 Coronavirus! So informative, fun and funny! Thanks for having this pod
sartorial78 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/20
I like how real she is and brutally honest. Will continue to listen. I have had a rough time trying to lose and keep weight off. I know most is due to mindset. I believe it podcast will be a great motivator and help me deal with these issues.
browntabitha85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/20
I love this show! Marina is so smart and funny, and I really enjoy listening to her panel discussions with guests every week. It’s a much needed dose of reality and hilarity for me.

I love this show. I can’t think of any woman in my life who can’t get something from it. The guests are always insightful. Love when Pat Brown is on.

Great Show!!!
RickP-13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/20
I give your podcast five stars. I would like to ask that you find a way to not talk over each other. In listening to the Cancel Culture episode, there were 5 panelist, but primarily Sanders spoke loudly on the subject. I don’t know if the whose holding the apple talks would would work, but all...Read full review »

Very honest conversations! No holds bar! I love it! Each host and guest have plenty of knowledge to drop. I just Love the ladies. Listeners you will not be disappointed!
Gchild91 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/19
This show is so enjoyable, just listening to women talk, without the sometimes overwhelming male influence 👏🏿👏🏻👏🏽
lizapavla via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/04/19
I love the news and women of color are not represented. These comedians bring intelligent dialogue and further a cultural narrative our generation needs. I’ve been making conscious decisions to support podcasts featuring women of color to help these voices be heard. Thanks for keeping it real!
Snugglyradish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/19
One of my favorite shows. Listen to the podcast religiously every week.

Congratulations Marina For creating a space where woman of colour can be unapologetically real... and also men on a monthly basis :) the hot topics are very topical, and the respect between the guests is the glue that makes this podcast shoulders above others.
Rise up sis via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/29/18
Love the show! Funny insights - sometimes topics aren’t well researched, and factual errors are overlooked. I think the show would improve with a little bit more time spent learning about topics discussed... Also, the gentleman on the show today was a terrible guest - very defensive, and said...Read full review »
