Jo is the podcast host you’d love to continue the conversation with over coffee (or wine) and hear about all the tidbits that didn’t make the final edit.

Most recent episode of the reality of #FarmLife has me screaming “YES! Yes! Yes!” And punching the rafters. As a #WomanWinemaker who lives in wine country, but not the #winecountrylife, I feel this SO hard. I own and farm my own vineyard. While I am definitely a privileged, white, cis-gender...Read full review »

I’ve given Jo Pizza a few chances on several occasions over the past 6 or so years. The content is always interesting, but the verbal repetition is so grating and always causes me to dip out. Examples: “I will go to the grocery store this weekend. I WILLLL…” “My kids are my life. They are....Read full review »

I have learned so much about different issues on this show. Fascinating show and always interesting. Jo seems to try to give both sides of a story. She has had a trad wife speak along with those who have a differing point of view. My only issue is when her guest on the Katy Sorinson episode used...Read full review »

And have never been happier. Thanks Jo! But now idk how to get in touch with you to show you my receipt preordering The Sicilian Inheritance to get the free substack subscription? Send help, please? :) how can those of us sans-socials get in touch?
NoSocialmediaSally via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/24
I’ve listened since the podcast launched, and I think it had/has a lot going for it, but a lot of times I feel like the tone is off. I think it often has a very privileged air that is personally not relatable. I also just can’t take the CONSTANT Sicilian Inheritance pushing. It’s like every guest...Read full review »

Love listening but, given the content of the show, it’s surprising to me that Jo so often refers to herself as an old lady. I’m in my mid thirties, and just don’t think it’s necessary or helpful. Like in the latest episode — 30 year old butt vs 40 year old old lady butt? We don’t need this. You...Read full review »

I started this podcast in season 2 and have been put off at how the host and her guests put down women who choose to live their lives and raise their kids differently than themselves. They mention “my body, my choice”, then try to shame and judge those who choose to do life differently. (And also...Read full review »

I absolutely love this quirky podcast. I look forward to every episode - so interesting and fun. Jo is entertaining and funny and real and she also loves to invite people on when they challenge her, so she’s also not afraid of other opinions. The guests are always interesting and Jo has some...Read full review »

I very much enjoy listening to Jo’s Podcast, it’s given me a lot to think about regarding social media and what I consume. This show is so entertaining to me and I can’t stop talking about it to friends! She says a lot of what I’m thinking when I see some of the pages I see on instagram and I...Read full review »

Love this podcast. Entertaining and real. Love Jo’s honesty and authenticity. 10/10
MegGrey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/21/24
I love all of Jo Piazza’s podcasts! I love her honest and authentic take on topics. I really appreciate that she is open to talking and learning from people who have different perspectives. It’s done in a refreshing and sincere way where the audience learns along too.
S.Dmac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
Very thought provoking
kfmarie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/24
I just discovered this podcast and I’m obsessed with it! Love love love it! Also starting to listen to Too much money and love it to. It makes you want to hang out with you Jo with a big cheese plate (and as a French woman I know my cheeses trust me🤪).
Marine Assaiante via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/24
I enjoyed this podcast. And I really appreciated the recent sobriety episode - until you guys started talking about “sugar addiction”. Which shows how poorly researched this show is. It is a common and dangerous myth that there is such thing as sugar addiction, which perpetuates diet culture. And...Read full review »

I personally got bored with a lot of the episodes this season. Trad wife, cancer influencers, and finance eps were really good! Most of the eps feel like a lot of the same. Not content related but the theme/intro music is SO grating.
Fell_in_a_hole via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/24
I really enjoy the topics on this podcast and it has given my husband and I a lot of great things to talk about! Some of the episodes have come across as incredibly well-researched and informative, but many of the episodes in season 2 deal with tradwives and SAHM content, and despite the fact...Read full review »
Abcdzqrtyhgj16789235 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/24
Season 1 was better and seemed more researched and thought out. Season 2 seemed like it had more promise with being able to branch out without a studio behind it, but it really fell flat. Most episodes in season 2 felt like a great draft or the start of a great idea but lacked follow through or a...Read full review »
scm2005 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/23
I listened to a few episodes here and there. I started because I was sick of being influenced on social media all the time but have hard time quitting. I can relate to a lot of things that was discussed. More recently I took a break from true crime podcasts and came back to this podcast, and...Read full review »
LT H via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/23
This season is so hard to listen to. Jo states an opinion or a description of what she’s going to talk about and then repeats it in slightly different ways for an excruciatingly long time. It also feels like there’s very little research and almost no perspective to offer this season. It’s...Read full review »
BethBee24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/23
I’m reviewing solely on season 1. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of things I didn’t know and reaffirmed some things I did. I’m taking away a star though because the show very responsibly addressed the issues of putting children on the internet, consent, commodifying your family etc. even Jo had to...Read full review »
michellemybelle214 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/23
Though I don’t currently have kids myself & this isn’t necessarily the type of podcast I’d think of listening to, after it was recommended by a friend I started listening & was hooked. So many important topics are covered that should be of interest to everyone, but especially as a woman...Read full review »

I am a thirty-somethin’ mother of two children under 5. I am also an avid podcast listener, mostly true crime 🫠. After finding the first season and binging it, I never miss an episode of this fantastic podcast. Jo feels like a friend. Her guests are insightful and empowering to me as a mother and...Read full review »
Mshullloudon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/23
Loved season 1 but I can’t stick with this anymore. The episodes are so judgmental and full of commentary that seems to help the host feel better about her own parenting choices. I’ve had to turn several episodes off in a row because of how cringey it was. I might come back later and check in to...Read full review »
AbraJeanF via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/09/23
Jo is smart, fun and entertaining. I love listening and she has enlightened me about many dark corners of the internet, for better or worse! It’s a treat to listen.
K Barbash via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/23
Those 10 minutes on the parenting influencers was the like salve to my soul 💕💕 THANK YOU 🙏
TheVaidaLife via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/23
I got hooked on the first season about mommy blogging, and this podcast continues to be both informative and pop culture fun!
MathgirlCO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/23
Jo is great and this is so well researched, insightful, thought provoking, and often funny amidst occasional horror stories. I’ve learned so much and yet not in an overwhelming or depressing way. I feel like I’m in the room with her, maybe over a cup of coffee or glass of wine while the kids are...Read full review »
InfrequentReviewerForNow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/23
Love the women she has on her podcast, and love the lens used to look at the issues. It always starts with differences and then layers in similarities. I am grateful for this type of writing and the bigger themes it shows.
ScaredProducer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/23
Loved your first season Jo! But this new season is lacking in substance. After listening to the Soft Girl and Trad Wife episodes, the talk feels very judgmental and generalized. It lacks research and is filled with personal opinions, which gives a hint of narcissism. You’re talented just...Read full review »
Glenco83 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/23
Consider putting a lid on the condescending tone and the political generalizations. So funny listening to you and guest trying to weave in the anti-Trump stuff into the trad wives episodes……it’s actually laughable. Then again, you could make it fair game since we are still waiting for the...Read full review »

Always such interesting guests and i love how Jo breaks it all down. On my regular rotation.
SusannaWriter577 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/23
Jo feels like friend. Diving into this has been fascinating. Truly great work and at times uncomfortable to unwrap certain topics, but overall one i recommend to all fellow fems.
Sunshine Kids Co via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/23
What you are exposing about influencers is great work and I love listening. However, I don’t want to hear about how being a traditional family is transphobic lol 😂
EricaJGH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/23
Loved your podcast before but this new season….amazing! I look forward to a new episode each week.
minivandreams via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/23
I loved this podcast. I put the day of women off the internet on my calendar. I gobbled up every episode. And then… what happened? It became the Jo show and the rallying cry to galvanize women was forgotten. And now with the latest season it’s dreadful. No editing, terrible audio, heading doors...Read full review »

More influencer deep dives please!
emily_anne_smith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/23
The first season is both fun and thought-provoking. We all know influencers aren't as they appear but the first season really exposes all of the insane hypocrisy. The second season is a little redundant and condescending. And the third season is the same so far.Read full review »
Frying_pan12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
I stumbled upon this podcast, but it could not have come across my radar at a more perfect time. I love Jo’s whip-smart reporting, and way of connecting so many dots. I arrived at this series well after it had first been posted, but it still feels important and groundbreaking. Brilliant and...Read full review »
Birdsong1965 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/23
Some episodes are well done and interesting. Others have almost no connection to the overall podcast and are clearly filler. The host is extremely condescending and holier than thou. Doesn’t surprise me at all that she was one of the reporters who belittled celebrities like Britney Spears. That’s...Read full review »
Megan639 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/18/23
The world of mommy bloggers is fascinating and has both positive and negative aspects for women, I was hoping this podcast would explore both- instead it felt uncomfortably like a girl trying too hard to get into the in crowd. The creator, who openly admits her goal to become a mommy influencer...Read full review »
Leisleigh via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 10/28/22
I binged season one, loved the behind the scenes of influencers. But season 2 is not nearly as compelling. Because I found the content of S1 interesting, I was able to avoid the annoying tone of the host, but with S2 two…yikes….can’t get through it, so smug. Should have ended on a high note...Read full review »
MrsBedor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/18/22
Hey jo, the episode where you talk about Chrissy Teigen being “bullied off twitter” fails to mention that she was harassing others on that platform including telling some to *unalive* themselves. The content of this pod is interesting but I just find some very important parts to be missing.
rrth0tz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/29/22
I understand that ads pay for all the work that goes into making podcasts possible, but the chosen sponsors are a terrible fit. There’s got to be a batter way to get as revenue than what’s currently being promoted.
run_amanda via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/22
As a former blogger in the mom blogger space, this podcast has been so cathartic for me to listen to. It was like a replay of it all. I had a banner ad on Nat the Fat Rat. I was featured on Design Mom’s Living with Kids series. I attended Alt Summit. And I have spent years and years wondering...Read full review »
ellemac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/22
I liked season 1 because it was interesting. Season 2 is really not that great for content. It’s just reframing the same narrative ad nauseam. But the worst part for me is the incessant over dramatizing. I’m not saying there’s no validity in the unfair practices, but the way she presents comes...Read full review »
bored housekeeper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/22
If the premise of S2 is “trying to fix social media” why are these targeted ads for nicotine and weight loss playing every few minutes? Leaving each episode with a negative feeling- for this reason I am out.
