Of all the podcasts that NPR has canceled, why couldn’t this be one of them? It grinds my gears me every time the host feigns surprise at “leaning” everyday common knowledge. Almost the same way that a parent might act surprised when their toddler learns a new word. This show is offensively...Read full review »

They are clearly running out of things to write episodes about.

Worthless waste of tax dollars. Defund NPR!
drew62 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/24
Occasionally there are decent episodes, but the advice is usually very surface level and obvious. This isn't always a bad thing for certain topics less familiar to some people. However, it's like this for most topics which tend to be common topics in real life. You're better served...Read full review »

When I hear the sentence: “What Rachel didn’t say were all the times me or her dad…” Me or her dad? Really? Ouch!

Advice you can use that goes deep. Very helpful!

this is good but I want more episodes that kids can hear and relate to and use.

Always interesting and informative, but not in a pedantic, boring way. Looking forward to the next episode!

Saying that lack of sleep causes diabetes is not only ignorant and irresponsible, to leave out the fact that there are TWO types of diabetes and that obviously children with juvenile diabetes did not acquire that from lack of sleep is … just plain ridiculous. Please stop passing yourself off as...Read full review »

Love hearing the variety of topics that are right-sized, thanks!

Life Kit is great for sharing various perspectives. This podcast opens the mind to more possibilities than meets the eye. There’s always some sort of “takeaway” that enlightens an individual.

Inspired me to visit my bookstores again. I slacked off during the pandemic. Was a fav past time. Thanks!
Burdyblue via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/23
Amazing podcast! It’s literally got everything from finances to student loans to existential topics to taxes, to interpersonal relationships. Everything a new adult lacking in life experiences can ask for. This podcast has been such an amazing resource!

This is one of the most invaluable episodes of all podcasts that I listen to. Thank you
vegangirl57 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/26/23
I like life kit because it gives startlingly good advice on how to proceed on various topics.
mituska2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
I noticed the narrower being much better than the guest at answering/being interviewed by this guest. Not an interesting podcast when the questioner also responds.
d19nelso via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/15/23
To the point and easy to learn tips that few really think about. It has helped me tremendously on my day to day. This is by far my favorite podcast ☺️
DmtryCath via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/23
I love listening to Life Kit when I am relaxing or driving. The episodes are the perfect length and the guests always have tangible advice for listeners. Plus, every week is different advise on a different topic and it keeps it interesting and fresh. I can’t recommend this show enough - it’s one...Read full review »

I love Life Kit. I followed Marielle here as I was a super fan of hers when she would fill in on Marketplace’s Make Me Smart. She clued me in on the glory of incorporating frozen cauliflower into one’s smoothies. Genius. This podcast is a tremendous help to me as a geriatric millennial whose...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of episodes and they can be really helpful. Life Kit helped me buy my car! Plus I love Dear Life Kit.
Medievalmave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/23
I have learned a lot from listening to Life Kit. I don’t listen to every single episode but choose ones that apply to me and my time of life. So many interesting topics!
Beckytwo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/23
I absolutely love LifeKit. The host, Marielle, does such a great job offering informative and interesting shows! I learn so much and it keeps me entertained and engaged. I love how they keep my interest and anticipate topics that I’ll care about.
TrackStella88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/23
A while podcast about pregnancy and never once said woman or mother. This is not addressing the experience of 99% of people listening to your podcast. It’s so cringe the word is so taboo. Also another point they frame pregnancy in such a sad light. Totally not what I want to listen to 4 months...Read full review »

When I think NPR, I believe that I will be provided the facts. Maybe get advice from experts, this podcast doesn’t feel like that. There are no references sited for further research. This genuinely feels like they are bringing on guests that paid to be there or talking about subject matter for...Read full review »

The girl directing the interview sounds like she could care less. She sounds sleepy and annoyed with this subject…

Some of the episodes are really good; others are simply not

High quality content & production. Random life topics.

She is just being so self absorbed and utterly nonsensical. Just like you don’t want to be told how to feel about your body, don’t tell me how to feel about mine. And yes, it’s ok to to not feel great about being fat and at the same time realizing the need for change and getting to it, all the...Read full review »

I like the different types of information this podcasts give. I think it has a lot of variety, and I definitely learned a lot about the topics they cover. This pertains a lot to me as I plan to work in the medical field. I’m currently majoring in nursing so it’s interesting to learn from this...Read full review »

I started listening to Life Kit during the beginning of Covid. I enjoyed the early episodes, but feel like the topics have been very basic lately, particularly the latest episode about cleaning. I know there are people who struggle with keeping their house in order, but I don’t think most need...Read full review »

itsmiirna via Apple Podcasts · Egypt · 04/05/23
While I enjoyed earlier episodes of Life Kit, it seems that they’ve recently been scraping the bottom of the barrel to find meaningful topics to discuss. Personal style? Seriously??? Many of the more recent topics are so completely trivial and irrelevant, and yet are presented with the same...Read full review »
FlightsofFancy345 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/23
Life Kit used to be great and I still recommend the earlier episodes, especially on money. It's become mainly just a place for businesses to promote their products (pretty blatantly at that). I finally unsubscribed today (Feb 14th) when I saw Episode 600 where they had a behavioral...Read full review »

I can listen to this podcast all day! I love the open and honest topics and the takeaways they provide. Even topics that don’t necessarily pertain to me have been helpful for broadening my awareness.
Carley RP via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
the host is constantly mispronouncing words and being surprised by very basic science that has been common knowledge for decades or common sense forever. the show sounds so smart at first but eventually it proves to be just dumb. the final straw for me was hearing her butcher the pronunciation of...Read full review »

Episodes are a hit or miss: The regret episode is my favorite one that you have ever put out. It’s so universal but most people don’t know how to tackle it, the advice and tips are practical and felt relatable. But the boundaries one and several others I have heard can have no logical sense...Read full review »

Great show, hosts are brilliant!! so much to learn too!

Listen to this if you want to be a weak feeble minded, and annoying slave. Self enslavement is the worst kind. We are doomed.

This is a podcast intended to help people with everyday challenges. Situations that apply to us all in this mystery called life. Thanks for inching me closer to knowing who I am.

I can’t agree with the advice on reading the 80 chapter book that your partner wrote. Here is my better advice. Tell your partner, I am so excited about your accomplishment. and even though your book is not the genre I typically read I look forward to knowing a different side of you through...Read full review »

I am excited about the recent changes Life Kit is making. The “how to start” episode by Marielle is fantastic. I just started my new job last month, and this is just what I needed. Keep up the good work!
