    There’s Just Something About Jen Palmieri!!!!
    LOVE THIS PODCAST! Super insightful and interesting!
  • Looneylovegoodshipschoni
    Brilliant!
    Insightful, timely, riveting
  • RisingT23!
    Love this podcast
    The entire podcast is incredible, but the bipartisan discussion with Elise Jordan on Afghanistan was uniquely awesome and rare in these days of one side not talking to the other. Thank you!
  • Millvj
    Tremendous episode
    SO informative about the herstory of the prevailing view of women’s reproductive health. Thank you!
  • nolan24&78
    Great interviews
    I especially enjoyed your podcast with Mika Brzezinski. She is giving women such great advice. Your willingness to let your guest speak is so welcome!
  • Robin1395

    Excellent interviews
    Jennifer does a great job of asking just the right questions. Her relaxed conversations and diverse group of guests makes for an enjoyable listen!
  • LppCo
    Great interviews
    This podcast is wonderful. Great interviews with interesting women.
  • scottyedog
    Real and genuine and brilliant
    I just love this show and am really excited that Jennifer decided to do this show. She rocked it with Hillary’s campaign, and I just appreciate her candor, wit, and brilliance. She is always open about her own journey. She is articulate and is able to talk about wonky policy things in a way that is engaging and informative.
  • csebird
    Super interesting every episode
    Jen has such an interesting take and incredible eye for details that lead to fantastic questions. Astute observations. Thanks sis ❤️

    Jen and Brandi! Great interview.
  • valiant voter
    Amazing uplifting conversations
    Personalities of the women chosen for each segment inspire me to recognize how each of us can contribute our ideas to make each day and our world a better place in which to live.The fact that we are not alone and should “lean on” other women is extremely inspirational. Now I feel en”POWER” ed. Amazing conversations like these are intimate and motivational. Thanks Jen !!

    Mika and Samatha Powers
    Just found out about your Podcast from Morning Joe- checked it out by listening to Mika’s interview and then scanned several and listened to Samatha Powers - wow what a smart wonderful person -just loved the story of the Bats . Now I know what has been rumbling around in my head for the past 73 years.I also loved how Samantha is and has always been a sports nut- that is me too. I’ve got a lot to catch up on in this podcast and my next one is going to be listening to Governor Whitmer. So happy I found you Jen! And I love that this is focusing on women and you are the directing program. I listen religiously to the podcast #Sisters In Law and I will be adding yours to my list.

    Love This Podcast
    This is SO needed at this time. I’m getting so tired of listening to so many podcasts and news – most of it good and relevant – but there is still something missing for me, something irritating. We are still an incredibly misogynistic society, and the guys out there don’t even realize it. It’s rather like people who don’t recognize systemic racism. This is so valuable to me right now. It’s giving me something positive to listen to, a reason to maybe have more hope for this country, at least in the case of women. Of course, women need to realize that they themselves are part of what holds them back. Mika’s Know Your Worth work, and podcasts like this should be mandatory reading and listening for every woman. Thank you so much for creating this valuable podcast. I found it through your partner John Heilimann’s podcast. He’s not one of the misogynistic oafs out there. ;) Tami in Boise
  • cathyanne1948
    Mika episode excellent
    Know your worth, and it’s a LOT! Women are the backbone of every family doing the work of a village with the strength and determination of Hercules. I know I raised children, worked full time and completed college (University) doing 4 years requirements in 3 years so I could get a job and support my family. Pulled myself and my girls out of welfare and into a future of self reliance and eventually retirement. Now I have 2 wonderful daughter who have great marriages and families, and gave me 7 grandchildren, one in Georgetown University, and one on the way to Purdue. Another grandchild running a business in computer technology. Determination, focus, goals and knowing your passion is worth your family’s future is the key. Good for you Mika! I’m 72, almost 73 and look back on my life with awe!
  • proudfeminist
    Love this podcast!
    The podcast concept is spot on and well executed. Loved the discussion with Hillary Rodham Clinton. What an amazing woman. The misogyny and biases against women are ubiquitous and yet rarely acknowledged... even after 2016. But Madam Secretary continues to inspire.
  • jbbolton23
    I’m liberal, this is a bad look for us
    So much hate and vindictiveness towards men. Every wrong move by a woman that’s discussed turns into an excuse for the behavior, or a “whataboutism” in which uninvolved men are vilified for the woman’s actions. These women dont want equality, they want to attack men and have an autocracy over them.
  • LOOPYHAMBURGER 1960
    HRC and the women’s march
    Loved hearing you talk with Madam Sec Clinton. I hope she knows how many people were at the march for her. It was a grieving process for many of us. My sign used her logo and we took pictures with someone carrying a cutout of her and everywhere we went people were talking about her. We were angry, heartbroken and and as the Chicks say in their song, “ not ready to make nice...”. I’m still not. Thank you Madam Secretary.
  • afm63
    Hillary
    The Just Something About Her team has consistently brought on fantastic, engaging guests to the podcast. I always walk away feeling inspired and have picked up nuggets of knowledge about being a woman in the workforce which I’ve been able to implement in my every day life. This last episode with Hillary Rodham Clinton was no exception. I loved the honesty and frankness of the conversation. Thank you again for the 5 star content!!
  • Joyofadventure
    Fast became one of my fav podcasts
    I am familiar with Jennifer Palmieri from The Circus on Showtime, so I decided to check out her podcast too. This has fast become one of the best podcasts I’ve ever subscribed to in all my years of listening. Her interviews are always interesting and engaging, and no joke, I regularly quote things from the episodes in work meetings and in friendly conversations. Absolutely a must listen for anyone, women especially.
  • BillSomers12345
    Small suggestion
    Love the podcast. Love the guests and how Jennifer draws them out. But hate the co host and her vocal fry voice
  • Gustavo delGatto
    Great!
    Great interviews with women I want to hear from by a person asking the questions I want to ask. Love it!
  • Baltgal
    Fantastic!
    This is the best podcast of 2020. In a sea of options, Jen Palmieri is intelligent and vulnerable in her interviews of inspiring women, and in doing so is inspirational herself. Really love this podcast, and I look forward to each new episode
  • EzraTErnst
    So good
    Cut right to the issues. It’s fantastic. Depth of issues. Intelligent, sensitive! Just so solid. I am a big fan!
  • Kalfisher
    How am I just finding this gem now?
    This is a great pod; truly thought-provoking -and I agree, a review describing a podcast as “thought-provoking” tends to get my yawn too- what does that even mean? But in this case trust me that it actually means something - I fell asleep the other night listening to Palmieri’s interview with Mary Trump and was ruminating on it through the next day - thoughts were pleasantly provoked!
  • razz67890
    A lottttta hysterical men
    In these podcast reviews , blatantly flouting their delicate sensibilities that seem to have been offended. & I’m here for it. When they’re targeting you for being a woman, they obviously have nothing else to attack. JPM is one of the most brilliant people in the game. So, cry more boys. She’s not worried about you & your feelings. ☺️
  • FanFromFinland
    Very impressed
    I listened to the podcast for the first time to hear an interview by the insightful Dr. Mary Trump, but wound up subscribing after the (excellent) episode, given the quality of the interview conducted by the host. Specifically, the questions were intelligent, relevant and non-inflammatory; it was actual factual discourse, which is sadly in short supply these days. I am looking forward to hearing the other guests and episodes and hoping the quality is on par with that of the Dr. Trump episode; it’s long past time for a well-researched podcast both by and for women.
  • linzifer77
    Good podcast
    I am enjoying the podcast so far. The guest stories are fantastic and it is great to hear things from different perspectives. The sound is not always great. I listen in the car and I have to turn it way up and then a commercial comes on and its so loud. The hosts voice goes in and out, like she ins’t talking into the mic. But overall, I really enjoy this.
  • stringpause
    Please fix your sound levels
    I’d like to listen to this series, but it’s annoyingly quiet and the ads are not. Especially annoying when listening with earbuds
  • Iqgarza
    Inspiring
    Keep telling these stories!
  • Ransom Zebra
    Good podcast, too many ads
    I just listened to the Haberman interview. I enjoyed the content and will continue to tune in. As someone who has struggled with Haberman’s soft treatment of Trump, this was insightful. Thank you. Sound quality is so dodgy that I have no idea who Palmieri was speaking to at the beginning and end of the podcast—some other woman. And too, too many ads.
  • Wanderer7777
    Reflect and take what makes sense for you
    I enjoyed listening to the perspectives of the speakers. It made me reflect on my own journey. I do not agree on every view presented and that is not the point of the podcast. It’s a space to hear other women’s stories which we do not hear a lot of. It would be nice if you’ll consider inviting a successful humanitarian to speak about their experience. I know I’ll really enjoy that.
  • thimsciv
    It’s really not funny
    It’s really not funny actually how the tables have flipped per say, instead of being bigger and better, you’ve stooped down to the level of person you criticize, the ‘straight white man’.....how is this type of stereotyping any different then the ones people impose on you The fact that you can’t see this and stop what your saying just shows how lost you are, your not changing the tide at all your just flipping the script to suit you Very sad
  • CraventheHunter
    Never Have I Ever…
    Thought that I would never say this …but she seems to carry water for Hillary Clinton, or better “The Establishment.” I say this because of the emails released that mentions Neera Tanden and Hilary Clinton commenting on how they should lean on Maggie Haberman for positive spins…and show Bernie in a negative light. When I saw that…I was done regarding her as someone I could trust. As a sidetone, her Employer has NEVER met a war they didn’t like…based on this and what the U.S. is facing now I find it laughable that she knows what she is doing. She has an estimated net worth of 3 million dollars…how is she supposed to know what the majority of Americans want and need? She is employed, she has Medical Coverage, she doesn’t face worry about eviction. I just find it hard to believe that people think that there is a liberal bias in the media when it’s obvious to anyone who looks - that it is an economic bias, and an ignorance bias. Right now, the villagers are gathering with pitchforks and torches…because they are beginning to see “that laws were never written for the working class, and the poor in mind.” If she were to be honest she should write a series of essays on that. People are beginning to see that the real issue is the Senate. The chamber of the elite.
  • the4devlins
    Thoughtful conversation
    Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Broadened my perspective. It’s on my “must listen” list.
  • Happygoddess
    Very insightful
    Listened to the second episode today!! Loved it. Back and forth conversation style is relaxing yet stimulating. Will be waiting for next episode
  • Mosyra
    Great pod
    This was just a real and normal conversation. All the liberal hate is so dumb. What happened to people listening to others with different points of view and/or different life experience. I’m looking forward to more episodes.
  • Mama Roux
    Enlightening
    Just listened to the convo with Charlotte Clymer. I can’t explain how wonderful it was to hear directly from Charlotte about her experiences and her fight for trans rights as well as her journey to become who she was meant to be. She is so knowledgeable and authentic. I follow her on Twitter but would love it if she had a Podcast or that hosting job on The View she talks about. 😁We all need to hear more from Charlotte as we move forward in our fight for equality for all.
  • Champ $tyle
    This show is against equality
    Gross.
  • FromMontgomery
    Smart content from women in leadership
    When you attract the haters along with the fans, you know you’re doing something right. This isn’t “typical liberal” anything. This is a series of thoughtful, often surprising conversations with women who have fought their way to spots in the power rankings. Everyone can and should learn something from this podcast.
  • MattTackel
    If you are in to miss dry, this is the one for you...
    Manhating liberalism at its best...
