Julia is an authentic, genuine, hilarious woman with an appreciation for wisdom, carried by her older sisters. I’m not there yet, but I so love learning about the journeys, failures and successes of these fascinating iconic women. PS Julia swears a lot.😌

I love this podcast! Julia and her team obviously work hard to bring on fascinating women who have turned out to be even more interesting than I expected. They are women with a diversity of backgrounds and talents who all graciously share their wisdom. As the host, Julia strikes the right tone: curious, real, and respectful

a sublime view into julia's life and the perspectives of so many amazing people. very engaging!

I love you Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the interviews with the wiser generation are fabulous. I am 82 and kind of get sick of all these young beautiful woman. Who can’t be beautiful at 20, 30, 40 or even 50, 60? Ah, but to be wise takes a lot of time and ageing. Thank you for listening to us and your dear of a mother, bless her, for having you! I hope you remain in good health and I’ll continue to listen to the Wiser than You women you listen to.💕

Always liked JLD as a performer. I enjoy the podcast and the guests. I don’t care about the swearing. If you watched her in Veep one has to know she is fluent in cuss words. She can over talk the guest at times and inject too much of her personal experiences and distracts a bit from what the guest is saying but I gather she is having a conversation with this person and not really interviewing. What I am most surprised about is that she has now jumped on the band wagon of adding premium excerpts of the interview for a subscription price. JLD is one of the wealthiest actors out there. Generational wealth coupled with a lucrative acting career has made her a lot of money. Why does she need to squeeze any more out of the general female masses in the world.

Just sending to you some of the love you’ve given to us, Julia❤️❤️❤️. I’m so sorry for all you’re going through.😢I feel as though you’re my close friend, I think all your listeners feel the same. Sending warm hugs to you, your family, your friends and entire community. ❤️❤️❤️

OMGOSH, Bonnie Rait!!!!! I’ve listened to your Bonnie podcast at least 3 times. She is my hero! Now I love YOU even more because you did such a great job interviewing her. Whew. What a wonderful, talented, true human being of a person she is. I almost felt like I was in the room with one of my hero’s. Doesn’t she just rock your world! Oh, silly me, clearly she does. Thank you again. Petra

I love listening to Wiser than me and get very sad when the season ends. I actually fantasize about hanging out with Julia because she seems like a great friend. I love how emotional she is and how honest she is. Thank you 🩵 and I Love all of her guests, amazing women that I learn so much from. And her mom…what a love.

Sending deep hugs. No words, just hugs.

Hello your show is great but every 10 minutes or so it repeats the first section I am sure someone told you this but right in the middle of a thought it repeats the beginning

OMG!!! I can't even think about what you are going thru!!! I am so sorry!!! Please know we hold you and yours in our hearts!

This is the kind of content women need! Women from our elders. Julia does such a great job interviewing and the women featured are brilliant, fascinating people. So inspiring, but not in a self helpy, or aspirational way. Thank you for this!!!

I literally cry every time I listen, it makes me feel all the feels. I get inspired, I laugh, I learn. I LOVE Julia’s intro with a connection from her own life to the guest and my very favorite part is where she debriefs with her mom at the end. Mothers and daughters everywhere can relate. I find so much joy in this show!

Deep dives, hard questions, FUNNY. Julia knows when to press her guests for further explanation and real world examples. I am learning and grateful for this podcast.

I love each conversation with these amazing and inspiring women so much. Many I have listened to multiple times. And I so appreciate the moments Julia allows us to share with her mum. Especially having lost my own mother… I love getting to hear their back and forth. I think of my own mum every time. Thank you, Julia, for uplifting the voices of these treasured, wise women.

I have loved this podcast from the beginning. Each episode is a never-fail source of tips and things to think about. Yes, these guests and Julia are living lives that the average person can’t imagine, but they genuinely share their vulnerabilities and what they have learned. My only critique would be less swearing! And thank you for finally putting the episodes into most-recent-first order.

I’m a former journalist and deeply appreciate the way Julia asks her questions. Sometimes discreetly and sometimes just blunt. I love the bookings (such great women) I love the format, the short stories she tells at the top and her mother’s input at the end. Such a fantastic little bonus. The most important through-line for me is all these women are human and I share so much with them. It is heartening. I am retired now and traveling a lot. And may someday write about my experiences as a TV journo, I now feel more encouraged to do this. I believe that what we share with each other as women is critical. The bonds between women are critical and the celebration of our elder years, essential.. Rock on woman. We are all ears. I’m not a podcast person (yet) but for the first time in my life I look forward to cleaning the house.

I’m a Dem but Nancy Pelosi is a disease in the party. She’s too old, she needs to make way for younger talent if she wants to save the party. She has made 100’s of millions from inside trading, she’s out of touch.

UPDATE: STOP MAKING ME CRY. Julia is an awesome interviewer. I learn something new with every episode. It’s funny, touching, a little heartbreaking at times. Truly, I find value in every episode.

I enjoy Julia. I don’t like the four letter words and calling women old, how about older. More respectful

PLEASE PLEASE shorten the intros!!!!!!

I so love this podcast! I have turned several of my women friends on to it as well. It's about time someone sat up and took notice of the "senior" women in our society. Thank you, Julia!

I love this podcast. :) Julia Louis-Dreyfus is an elite interviewer. You can feel her excitement talking to the guest. I love the format too..how she talks personally at the beginning and ends with her mom.

As a 69 year old grappling with my own aging, I find these talks quite inspiring. I only wish Julia and her quests would stop using curse words so freely and especially using GD so often. It cheapens an otherwise witty, smart and encouraging interview.

Unsubscribed when I saw more political messages, this time from Pelosi. As if it wasn’t bad enough 99% of the wiser women in the world work in the insulated entertainment industry, now she pushes this unsavory, unlikable bag on the public further. I wonder how many tiny houses Julia and Nancy have added to their estates to house illegal folks looking for shelter here? Anyone??

What a beautiful and brilliant podcast! Thank you so much for having these women on. I’m astounded by their capabilities and by yours.

I cannot express enough the blessing this podcast is to me. The Rita Moreno episode honestly changed my reaction to my awful inner voice. (I’ve named her Eleanor, and she is being sent to her room from this day forward!) Thank you so much for giving us these wonderful women and their wisdom!

I am so happy THIS is who Julia really is. She’s better than any of her characters and is thoughtful and funny. She gets guests that are mind blowing and definitely have advice anyone can use. The one improvement? Could we get her mom to drop some more poetry on us? Please? …and call your mom if you have one♥️

I wish I could recommend these conversations to so many of my friends or listen when in mixed company . But the constant use of vulgarity is distracting from these valuable conversations. It makes me wonder how many of the classy women being interviewed feel about that.

Julia does a fabulous job of interacting with her guests. It’s like listening in on a private conversation, the questions are insightful and the guests are open and honest . Each season is better than the last. Looking forward to season 4.

I don’t often (ever really) write reviews. But, this is more of a thank you! This podcast has been incredibly meaningful for me. I lost my mom 4 years ago (I was 35), and part of my grief has been accepting that I would never be able to speak to her about aging as a woman (she passed when she was 65). So all that to say, thank you for these conversations. I at least now get to hear about aging from a variety of women, and I don’t feel as alone/lost.

The conversation with Rep. Nancy Pelosi is brilliant. I’ve listened to Nancy speak many times. This is the best! Think: eavesdropping on a super interesting conversation happening at a nearby table. Delicious!

Swearing is so uncalled for. Please stop!

Wow! What an amazing season! Thank you sharing these amazing women with us!!!

I love this show but Nancy Pelosi is everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party. This 84 year old is literally calling the shots in her hospital room to get a 74 year old with cancer in a key democratic position instead of an upcoming and accomplished millennial. We need new leadership and it’s way past Nancy’s time to step aside. If she had retired a decade ago, then I would have liked to listen to this but she is preventing progress in this country. It’s annoying she’s a guest. I’ll pass on this episode.

It is wonderful to get to listen in on conversations with these legends💖 Their lives & experiences have contributed so much to our world. Hopefully we can make them proud. I’m loving every interview

I, for one, am here for Pope jokes. As a woman in her early forties, I need these unapologetic conversations. Thank you for creating a space where our elders can reflect on trauma. Communing with other women is integral to our survival. May you never lose that glorious pottymouth.

I could listen to this episode with Rita Moreno over and over and over again. This podcast is beautiful in so many ways. Thank you for the wisdom and sharing.

I love your show Julia! Your empathy, humor, interest as you invite all the wise women to tell their stories. I listen while doing artwork. I myself am a psychotherapist and appreciate the deep understanding you and your guests get into. Keep on keepin’ on!

My favorite podcast ( and I listen to a lot).

Love your podcast and how you talk to your mom at the end of each show. I would love to hear a full show with just you and your mom.Also would like for you to chat with Cher.

I’m loving these interviews. Julia does such an amazing job and the conversations are interesting, informative, and heartfelt. As an “older” woman myself, I’m enjoying hearing from others, especially those that have and continue to live interesting lives.

What a lovely talking voice Patti LaBelle has (we know her singing voice is fabulous) and what a lovely human being!!!

I have followed you for decades. Now, I enjoy your podcast. I'd love to talk to you about my stories that where published at age 80 and 81. Type in my pen name Dianne Haaland in Amazon’s search engine, as well as Barnes and Noble, Target, etc. search engines.

I truly wanted to love this podcast. Unfortunately, the real Julia Louis-Dreyfus really comes through as being incredibly self absorbed and self obsessed. She interrupts her guests (even Gloria Steinem!) and prattles on about her own nonsense when she has these positively incredible guests on. I was hoping I could ignore her and enjoy the guests, unfortunately, she makes her own podcast unbearable.

The guest are quite interesting people. Unfortunately Julia is not a good interviewer and this mostly comes off as another celebrity vanity project.

Thoughtful interviews with amazing women! Please interview Sigourney Weaver!

Just another collection of liberal nonsense. How naive are these fools?

This podcast touches my heart, makes me inquisitive, and hopeful. After laughing and maybe shedding a tear or two, I always feel younger and wiser after listening. Please keep the fountain of youth flowing!

Please adopt dogs from rescues, not breeders! No matter how much you (think you) have to have a “Labradoodle.” Oy vey.
