Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus is an insightful, often delightful journey through the minds of women who’ve lived fully, with Louis-Dreyfus acting as both curious student and witty guide. It’s part masterclass, part conversation, where wisdom is passed down with humor and grace, making every guest feel like a cherished storyteller.
"One of the hallmarks of a good celebrity podcast — beyond its central conceit, of course — is the level of dedication a celebrity host is willing to bring to each and every episode. Wiser Than Me is the blueprint to follow in this regard. It's immediately apparent the length at which host Julia Louis-Dreyfus (and her team) goes into researching her guests, which instills a sense of ease and comfortability — how deeply she cares — that is so essential to the success of each episode. Beyond that, the show's conceit itself is so unique and vital against our current "manosphere" media ecosystem: To give platform to incredible women who have lived such rich lives that we can benefit in the wisdom they have to offer us."
- Dane Cardiel, Good Tape
