Practical wisdom
Dr Laura is challenging for people who haven’t grown up. If you know you have parts of yourself that are 17 and self-centered, you need this podcast.

Rubbish.
Archaic, overly simplified advice. The way she cuts people off and talks down to them is so gross. There can be some good here but she’s just so self-aggrandizing and self-righteous.

Dr Laura is who she is but sometimes I wish she would let people finish telling their story so listeners can hear it all and relate and be better helped. I enjoy listening to Dr Laura but when 2 minutes of the 6 minute or less pod is an ad read, I’m out.

The hard truth
I love this podcast because Dr. Laura tells it how it is even if it’s not what the person wants to hear. I don’t hear that much in this day and age and I appreciate it. She gives straightforward advice that you can apply to your life when the caller aligns with what you’re going through. Thank you Dr. Laura! I’ve grown a lot from your podcast and your book “the proper care and feedings of husbands”! Peace and love!

Love it
Love to listen to this show. From time to time I pay for the full show but in between I listen to the call of the day podcast and love it. So much great advice here. I’m not going to say I agree with 100% of the advice given but dare I say 98% of the time I do. With that said, I don’t think any two people could ever agree on everything anyway lol so it’s definitely worth listening to for anyone. Just sharing my opinion. Great show. Please keep it up!

This podcast is not for people who are WEAK, or avoid the “TRUTH.” If you can’t learn anything from this podcast, you are living a perfect life, I’d love to know your secret. At the least you can consider another perspective.

Don’t listen anymore
Liked listening to Dr. Laura many years ago, but since she caved to the pressure of the lbgtq community, don’t listen anymore.

Mind blowing
I love to listen and have been listening for 35 years. I can’t believe how Dr Laura speaks to her guests and how her guests take the crap she dishes out. Dr. Laura is self-righteous and does understand the necessity of diversity and individuality. I am always wondering who the poor bastard will be on the next call.

Nope.
Shocked and disgusted with the way this woman speaks to her callers that are sharing their most vulnerable moments. Constantly cutting people off, calling her callers dumb, and giving the most toxic misogynistic advice. We are NOT living in the 1920’s. It’s ok to hold your husband accountable if he’s sexting or talking to other women. And for the love of GOD you do not have to have sex with your husband every single night or pretend to be happy when your partner upsets you. Your needs & your feelings matter! I hope the people calling seek help elsewhere, from someone that advocates for women & won’t cut you off or belittle you or your feelings.

Dr Laura is the best therapist ever!!
I wish I could have listened to her show years ago. I know now I would have made better choices and decisions. It’s never too late and with her no nonsense knowledge and advise, she has helped me tremendously Dr Laura thank you so much for everything you do for me and your faithful listeners. Vals240

WOW - Incredibly RUDE and a Gaslighter
Dr. Laura should NOT be giving advise or counseling anyone especially those who are seeking help and support. She’s rude to her callers, talks to them so condescendingly, and thinks she’s a drill Sargent. Callers - hope you find help from someone else…yikes, Dr. Laura, you need to learn some kindness and compassion.

Refreshing, bold, honest advice!
I’ve listened to the radio show for over 2 decades have have her books. Dr. Laura is amazingly insightful, witty, and gives honest feedback. She doesn’t tell callers what they want to hear but instead what they need to hear. Her advice brings about personal growth in all relationships.

Public School
I cannot believe the crap you are putting out there regarding public schools! Teachers do not “secretly” teach students about gender. Get your facts straight! You really need to be banned from the radio.

While Dr. Laura does offer some terrific advice, it seems that her far-right, conservative views have a tendency of severely clouding her judgement at times.

I feel badly for some of the people calling in for help…
I have listened to Dr Laura for quite a while. I have never called in for advice and based on some of her responses I don’t think I would. First, what’s up with this marriage and getting carried over the threshold!? Living together is not a millennium concept at all. I will say that for the sake of having children I do agree with marriage. I was once married and never carried over the threshold!!! It’s not the actions you take with that special person but it’s their qualities and how they treat you. As a disabled person marriage can put you in a completely different earnings category and that may not be beneficial. The other annoying thing that is mentioned is the comment to a distraught person, “ don’t say I don’t know! “ Well, sometimes you really don’t know and that’s why you call in. Dr Laura, please be kinder to people that need help. You might push someone over the edge. I’m sure you’re giving divorce attorneys a lot of business by suggesting marriage. But marriage is not always for everyone. I think if you kept more of an opened mind it could be easier listening.

Sarcastic belittling insulting rude triggered so so unkind
My title encapsulates most of what I think about Dr. Laura while some of her ideas may come from sound footing there is absolutely no reason to be this unbelievably rude and belittling to people I am positive she has her own deep emotional triggers that create this sort of stridency and I actually suspect that she’s made many of these mistakes which would explain her rage because she’s actually yelling at her self

Paid attention
Dear Dr Laura, I have never phoned in. God Knows the amount of times I wanted to. Although we never spoke one on one, I "paid attention." After a while, I must admit, life became easier & gratifying. As I continued to learn; confidence, comfort & self respect awakened my senses. I then accepted my limitations. I will never please everyone, including some family members. So be it. Ppl are about different things, just trying to live. (No one is the center of everyone's attention seriously, haha) Courage, Respect & Gratitude are the operative words. Learn them, sleep with them, take them with u wherever you go. It is when one incorporates these virtues, life becomes beautiful, worthwhile & enjoyable. During the days & a majority of evenings I'm smiling & you are to thank. Bless you my good friend Laura. You are a gift. Sincerely, with warm wishes, Elissa ✝️🕎💪🏼

Cold
I grew up reading Dr. Laura books, and my parents were huge fans all my life too. We used to listen to her radio show. But at what point did counseling need to become so disrespectful? Sure she offers good advice. But helping people get to the bottom of their feelings shouldn’t be this combative. I’m not a fan of hearing adults get berated every time they need guidance or validation that they’re doing the right thing. She goes off the rails when someone says they “don’t know” as if she’s never had mixed feelings before in her life. She’ll yell at these poor people to “shut up!” when they try to answer her questions. Tough love is awesome. I’m all for it. But this is more like penance. She will treat you like an idiot and discipline you for even seeking her insight. If you’re entertained by this, you’re likely experiencing schadenfreude. You enjoy the torment of others.

“My family feels Incomplete”
Dr. Laura, Listening to you compare your tubal pregnancy to the loss of a child is appalling. There isn’t even a fetus developing in an ectopic|tubal pregnancy— there is NO baby. The lady you were talking to gave birth to a baby. She held her daughter in her arms. These two things are not related. That’s like me saying I know what my best friend is going through when she gets divorced after 25 years of marriage and 3 kids because I broke up with the guy I was dating for 8 months. You are out of bounds here and this lady deserves a written apology. I hope to God you or your loved ones never know what it is to give birth to a child, hold them in your arms, and have them die. This woman needed to talk and be HEARD, not silenced. Based off this one episode, I would strongly discourage you to ever attempt to offer grief counseling. Yikes.

I am also sharing your podcasts with friends and family members. I offer - they choose listen or not. In any event, thank you so much for your wisdom and willingness to share your experience dealing with people.

Refreshing!
I have listened to Dr. Laura for over twenty years. Her no nonsense, clear cut, common sense approach is a refreshing change in a society that has become too focused on how people feel and what they want rather than doing the right thing. Dr. Laura is a beacon of light to her callers! I love listening to her podcast, which is first-rate in my book.

Too many ads
I just skip the ads on the call of the day. I just hit the 15 second forward button three times and if there’s still an ad I hit it again. That makes 2/32 commercials that I have skipped. You can always skip 15 Seconds ahead. I don’t listen to the ends

Shocked
I really enjoyed this show and was very happy to begin listening again recently. I called in with a problem that I needed advice on and before I could fully explain, was met with a judgemental assumption by one of the psychologists on staff and then they hung up on me. I respected the show until now and will no longer support it. They choose who’s worthy of aiding. I wonder how many others have been treated this way. I’m glad at least a vetted selection of people benefit from her work because her advice is almost always on point- that’s what the two stars are for.

Too many ads
I found this podcast about 18 months ago and I was so thrilled to get to hear Dr. Laura’s advice again. I understand that this FREE daily call episode may come with an advertisement as a necessary revenue generator, However, in the last month or two, they have been inserting additional ads within the calls which are really awkward and distracting. The most recent episode “I got fired - again” has THREE advertisements in the span of a 6 minute call. One is fine, two is slightly annoying, but three is just ridiculous for such a short podcast.

Why suddenly a commercial in the middle of it?
I’ve loved listening to this Podcast, until recently, when someone decided it’s a good idea to slap a commercial right in the middle of the conversation, interrupting Dr. Laura and/ or a caller mid sentence. Why? All it’s doing is hurting the show. Podcast listeners can still forward past the ad, but the focus and the moment is lost. Bad admin decision.

No nonsense I LOVE HER!
Years ago I was in a rough spot with my 20 marriage and my was-band. He had a long affair with a so called friend of mine. It was horrible. My question was should I tell my kids the full truth. Answer was to not sugar coat it. I am free from this burden now and look back with gratitude for the direction Dr. Laura gave me. Thank you Dr. Laura. I enjoy your show for your intentional guidance and wisdom.

We Need To Cherish Her
Let me get it out of the way: yes, she’s harsh sometimes. However, in my brief existence on earth I’ve learned how incredibly dumb and self-centered people can be. From personal experience, how your own thoughts can hold you hostage and become a blockage. I’m sure she has learned to detect when someone is calling to make themselves feel better, remain combative, or just argue. How else can you break through the noise in their heads? Imagine how hard it is to change your own mind and see from a difference perspective! Is it not 1000% harder to influence someone else? I suspect age has helped her streamline advice. Not to mention, I find it difficult to believe that people go out of their way to call her because they want to be coddled. And I will say, listening to every episode, she does not speak down or harshly to people enduring real tragedies or heartbreaks. Only man(or self) made situations. Getting that out of the way, Dr. Laura has such a logical, grounding perspective. She’s not telling people that they’re the most important person on earth and feeding their entitlement. That’s where people are getting so upset and that’s what’s wrong with the country! Her comment on self care vs self respect has changed me for the better. Self respect makes so much more sense AND EMPOWERING!! Thank you Dr. Laura for everything and for standing firm against the haters.

Archaic beliefs
Couldn’t even get through the episode of “I want to shack up” I can’t believe the things she was telling a young female about moving in with her boyfriend. I don’t think this type of language and teaching is helpful to anyone. I pray this poor girl does not take Dr. Laura’s “advice”.

I don’t like that she speaks disrespectfully to her clients “put a cork in it” “be quite” etc. I like her advice but her lack of respect for other adults makes it difficult to value the things she says…

Really surprising - doesn’t seem well informed
I am actually surprised to write this negative review, but I have listened to quite a few of these podcasts. On one in particular she is literally telling a woman that self care and taking care of herself first is wrong. When that is so wrong!! It takes women years to accept they need to take care of themselves first to better care for others. She also says everything is a sacrifice, when it actually shouldn’t be! Wow! Update your education

Love Dr. Laura, but podcast is inconsistent
I have no complaints about Dr Laura. Love her insight and advice and the show in general! But whoever puts up the podcast needs some help or training. She takes multiple calls a day and sometimes only one goes up, or only half of one if she takes a break and finished her call with them later, then we only get the first half. Sometimes 4 calls from the day are on there but most of the time it’s one or maybe two. Kind of confusing. Also sometimes the titles don’t match the call and an old repeated one will play instead of what it says it’s about. Also whoever titles them doesn’t listen to the call obviously. It’s sometimes not about what the title says.

Dr. Laura is getting mean
I have listened to this show for years. I used to listen to it on the radio when my kids were all still in car seats (they are all grown up and married now). I recently started listening to this podcast because I was such a fan. I feel like Dr. Laura has become mean. I do agree with the advice she gives to these problems people are coming to her with but I honestly feel bad when she says to someone “Don’t talk” “don’t say sorry.” “I’m talking, you called me so you need to listen.” Or “Don’t say you’re right. Do something!” I can hear her callers voices change. They start to stammer or become flustered because each time they talk are they told to be quiet. Dr. Laura seems to be getting aggressive with these people who just want help. I don’t enjoy listening anymore.

Tell it like it is!
I listen to Dr Laura so much that I’m out of new episodes. She is one of the very few people who tells it like it is. She speaks the truth and she has done this for so long that she KNOWS what is happening and is going to happen in almost every situation. I am constantly amazed that she is able to get to the core of a problem and gives wise advice about solving the problem. She is also willing to say that there is NO solution. Honestly, if Brooke would just listen to her they could save bundles of money on therapy!

Endlessly listening to her. She is honest voice of this world. If you like someone to tell you the truth, listen to her！Unfortunately, Goggle put negative ratings & words on top of the good ones. Don’t listen to people don’t under Dr. Laura’s way. Just keep listening, she will make a big change in your life. I knew I did.

I am so sad!
I just listened to the episode about the woman who lost her mother in a car crash. Dr. Laura was so cold to her. On one hand she said she couldn’t imagine what she was going through, but turned around and was so rude and un-empathetic towards her. I want to find this woman and give her a big hug! I understand Dr. Laura has her way, but geez. Please, I beg of you to be just a little more kind to these people that have gone through such tragedy! And let people talk sometimes instead of demanding they let you finish your oh so important point. Maybe they need to insert important details. I just wish you could be even the teeniest bit more soft.

Sounds like verbal abuse to me
In my opinion, Dr Laura’s signature sarcasm, name calling, and snap negative judgements is profitable to maintain her brand, but not a responsible way to offer mental health. If we all talked to each other this way, we would have a more judgmental, combative world.

Super sad and disappointed
I tried to get clarity, yet it was like she was on repeat. Not everyone is in the same situation and she just made me a statistic right off the bat without actually trying to hear my story. The man that spoke with (screener) was exceptionally rude. I’m very disappointed. I thought if anyone could help me it’d be her and she just cut me off and ended my call. This left me in nothing but tears and more anxious.

Nobody is better!!
Dr Laura is absolutely phenomenal! Many of these calls are SO moving. You can hear the gasp of the caller when Dr Laura suddenly enables the caller to see the big picture. Dr Laura has changed countless lives. I caught her show for the first time, with her perky youthful voice, way back in 1977.

Giving the advice and not explaining it in the call of the day is disappointing. I get it as radio schtick but if you are going feature the call it would help explain i.e. the i don’t like playing piano call.

No nonsense truth.
I’ve listened to Dr. Laura for over 25 years. She was great in the beginning and she is even better now because she has grown through her personal and professional experiences as one would expect. I can compare her to Rush Limbaugh, even though she may not like that, but what I mean is many people criticize her for what they’ve been intentionally mislead in the media about her… But if they listen to her for themselves for a period of time, they fall in love with her wisdom and wish they had had the benefit of her advice much sooner in their lives. You don’t always have to agree with her, but she will make you think and become a better person anyway. Long live Dr. Laura!

Awful
I’m all for tough love, and a “no nonsense” approach to problem solving, but there is always space for empathy, kindness, and patience. Dr. Laura does not seem to possess any of these characteristics. I was done listening to her within minutes. She’s awful, rude, self-righteous, and belittling.

Always a Pleasure
Dr. Laura deals with the truth. She is a wonderful antidote to all that ails our broken culture. She helps her callers and listeners deal with the truth so they can free themselves and flourish.

Not For The Faint of Heart…
Dr. Laura doesn’t waste time. She only has a few minutes to help her callers understand the truth so they can be set free. Some people have difficulty with this approach— it’s not for the faint of heart but it is for the brave person who is willing to accept responsibility and make a change to better themselves. I have learned so much from this remarkable therapist just by listening and thinking about what truth has been uncovered. Dr. Laura has helped me become a better person and for this I am forever grateful.

Glad my mom introduced me Dr Lara
I have been listening to Dr Laura since I was a young lady of 20 years old. My mom would play her show when we would drive, anywhere! I learned a lot, I was a single mom, and didn’t want to meet a man and shack up. I wanted to meet a daddy for my daughter but learned to patiently waited and met my prince and the dad of my dreams for my little girl.

Dr Laura gives absolutely terrible advice and is a bully to boot. What a complete disaster. No self respecting person would ever take her seriously.

Truly Despicable
I am so horrified right now. I listened to one episode and all I could think was I want to go find the guest from the episode I listened to and do some damage control. As a college student currently studying to become a mental health counselor, I can say that not one single tactic she used will ever prove effective. Dr. Laura is a downright bully and I wish there was a way to un-hear what I just listened to. Please please please don’t waste your time listening, it will only bring you down. Nothing she has to say can’t be found elsewhere, delivered in a much better and kinder way. And Dr. Laura, if you’re reading this, I wish that in one episode someone would talk back to you the way you talk to them, so you could catch even a glimpse of what it feels like to be so belittled and talked down to that you want to curl up and disappear. You deserve to feel small, the same way you choose to make your guests feel. To anyone who’s ever been on the show, just know you’re doing alright and there are BETTER therapists out there!! Find help from someone who WANTS you to feel better. Believe in yourself and don’t listen to old sad woman whose only pleasure in life comes from bringing people down.

This Podcast Doesn’t Provide Listeners Any Value
I listened to one episode and was so distracted by how rude and belittling Dr. Laura was to her guest that I literally got nothing from listening and couldn’t even make it through an 8 minute episode. She didn’t listen to her guest and started correcting her and giving her poor advice before even hearing the full story. If you’re looking to gain value from listening to podcasts I would look elsewhere.

Hysterically funny at times
It’s hard to believe what I am hearing - feminism, mommy issues, husband bashing, working parents, the Ten Commandments. At times it’s hilarious. At times it’s spot on. At other times I just shake my head and say “oh Dr. Laura, seriously?”

Spreading falsehoods on feminism
I’ve listened to multiple episodes where “Dr.” Laura talks of feminism as the destroyer of our society. Does she know what the definition of feminism is? Does she enjoy having the rights to vote, to drive, to have her own bank account? Without feminism, she would never have her own radio show. She needs to be educated on feminism and the history of women’s rights before disparaging feminism. I understand she has a problem with working moms—okay, that’s her opinion— but did she ever stop and research the real reason moms have to go back to work? That it’s virtually impossible for most families to survive with one person working? The rich are getting richer exponentially but working class paychecks aren’t rising— and rent and bills are getting higher exponentially as well. Also—any women depend on their employers for health insurance for their entire family. Maybe this country has failed women? This woman needs a reality check. She is stuck in 1919.

Good advice, but hard to listen to her!
I honestly like the advice Dr Laura dishes out, but I hovestjy find my own anxiety level going up just listening to her! She is impatient, on edge, snarky and/or down right rude to the caller at some point in literally EVERY episode. WHY?! She could be great. Instead she’s just annoying and hard to listen to.

A Voice in the Wilderness
In the world of chaos and lack of moral training - Dr. Laura’s voice rings loud and clear. She is tender and hard as nails.... I learn so much from all of the situations she walks people through. I pray that some producer somewhere is archiving and indexing her sessions.... or that she lives the life of Methuselah!!!

Love Dr. Laura
I was introduced to Dr. Laura growing up and, while I am still growing up, I really do love listening to her call of the day and learning from it. She isn’t an insensitive bully she just likes to get to the point. One of the things I love about her is that she isn’t afraid to tell someone they’re being stupid. That isn’t bullying them, it’s helping them. If someone were to call her and be surprised that she got to the point and thought that she said it in a way they didn’t want it then they shouldn’t have called her. She has been a therapist and talked to people with similar issues for years and years and she knows what she’s doing. I will listen to her show as long as I live or at least as long as the show is still going. I love the call of the day and I love Dr. Laura and I’m so glad and happy my parents could show her to me. I plan on listening to her with my someday husband and reading her books on marriage when I need them. I’ve already read a few of her books and am blessed to have the wisdom that has already helped me in my life and will in the future. Thank you Dr. Laura

Untrue, outdated, and debunked
Dr Laura doesn’t seem to stay current on the data available about marriage and families. She’s stuck in the past and her advice reflects that. She “cites” old statistics that have since changed or been debunked. You wouldn’t put up with a doctor who wanted to cure your flu with leaches, so don’t put up with her outdated methods and advice. To the listeners of doctor of PHYSIOLOGY (not psychology) Laura: You deserve a qualified and compassionate therapist. Laura is not either of these things. Her solutions to your issues will not offer you actual healing or forward momentum. You will be stuck in a miserable loop where you try to white knuckle your childhood issues forever.

If you are calling Dr. Laura and expect to be coddled, you made a huge mistake! Dr. Laura tells it like it is and it’s so refreshing! I have listened to her for years and just love that she even receives follow up calls from people thanking her for changing their lives for the better.

Happily married and my three children now strong independent adults, I couldn’t have done it without her. I can’t wait for grandchildren that I can spoil because my children will not be placing their children in childcare. Dr. Laura thank you for giving my family the best life we could have ever imagine.

Appalled. One Absolutely Spiteful “Doctor”
I listened to one episode and was disgusted. I refuse to listen to any more. The mercilessly rude, narcissistic, petty way Laura treated her caller is inexcusable. Based on the reviews I have seen, this is typical for an episode. This supposed doctor interrupted the mother- the calm and rational mother, by the way, not a hysterical one- with snarky demands to “Let ME say what it means,” “Don’t tell me about that,” “I didn’t ask about that,” etc. These are not direct quotes, but I don’t care about this hateful woman enough to give her podcast any more of my attention. Sure, in a review these sentences may sound acceptable or on par, but Laura snaps at the caller, striking with these sentences, and the mother can sometimes barely get a breath in before another one hits. It is not only condescending and unnecessary, but almost comically unprofessional and thoughtless.

Torri deserves an apology
The way Dr. Laura treated Torri is unconscionable. Finding out that your dad is not your biological father is a big shock. It's confusing and scary. Add to that the fact that her parents lied to her whole life, and she no doubt feels profoundly betrayed as well. For those emotions to be belittled is bad enough, but then Dr. Laura proceeds to call her names, says she wants to smack her in the head, and states she should get down on her knees in front of her mother. The call is abusive and Dr. Laura sounds unhinged.

Awful words to torri
I can’t believe you would speak to a person with such degrading and cruel words. Nevertheless someone who is reaching out for help about a devastating discovery about who her biological father is. Everyone has a right to know where they come from and medical history. She has right to have her feelings and work through them without being told she has done something she wrong. She is a victim here. How would you feel if you found out your dad is not your dad? Try some empathy and professionalism and human kindness!!

Love you Dr Laura/Please Stop Swearing
Dr Laura was the mother who taught the why nots of why we don’t do certain things. She is full of wisdom and love. I hardly ever disagree with her! She has made me a better person hands down. I have one request though for her program...please stop using profanity. My teenagers love listening but occasionally I have to turn her off because I have taught my kids not to use profanity. I believe she can be just as effective without the profanity.

Secrets are not healthy
Dr. Laura response to caller Torri regarding the parent that withheld the truth about a biological parent was horrendous. Poor Torri was so flabbergasted she couldn’t speak. What Dr. Laura fails to recognize is it is not one lie to hide a biological parent. It’s thousands of lies including blood type, health history, eye color. It is often entire families participating in the lies. The fact that we have DNA tests that are accessible is revealing so many parents that lied. Estimates are a half a million DNA test takers have learned their father is not biologically their father. Some are donor conceived, but in most cases it is to hide the truth or trying to protect a child or the mother. Finding this info is sending folks reeling a journey that takes years to recover from. Some because of the lies undergo intensive medical testing because they inherited a disease from DAd only to find out it’s not their family. Or mothers worried about a newborn inheriting a disease and it’s not their grandpa. Then all your life your told your Italian, German and Jewish. Turns out your Scottish and Irish?!?!? I could write all day. So when your child learns the truth then the should be told. I don’t need the details of your sex life, I just need acknowledgment. Dr. Laura needs to to some homework.

Your behavior to caller Tori was despicable!
I have never in my life heard anyone let alone a licensed therapist degrade, humiliate and eviscerate a caller looking for relational help with her mother who kept her from her biological father her whole life!!! Your remarks of calling her an “ungrateful twit” repeatedly and that she should be ashamed of herself is unconscionable. You my dear have obviously lost touch with your emotional regulation and took it out on some innocent caller. The SHAME is yours and i honestly think you may need a psychiatric evaluation if you think speaking to a patient like this is acceptable. Every listener should listen to you spew your venom.

My mom never told me the truth
I recently listened to the call from Torri regarding her mom lying to her about who her father was. My mouth DROPPED when I heard Lauras response to this poor woman. Torri called in because she is in a cross roads about how to repair a relationship with her mom; not to be belittled, insulted, and attacked by the actual twit, little brat, ungrateful poor excuse for a woman behind the microphone. Torris mom completely broke her trust by lying to her her whole life. She kept that secret from her. Torri has every right to be mad at her mother. She called in looking for advice, how dare you Laura say those things to her. Laura sounds like she has pent up emotions about this situation. Sounds like she might have raised a NPE (not parent expected) child, who found out and got mad at her for the lies. The words that came out of Laura’s mouth are inexcusable and I want her taken off the air.

Dangerous, Cruel Advice with a Dash of Name Calling
Dr. Laura Call of the Day. “My Mom Never Told Me the Truth” Dangerous response from her. Finding out about NPE situations within a family takes delicate handling and compassion. When someone finds out their family has lied to them about their genetic heritage and biological family members, it can cause permanent loss of trust, and a lot of emotional damage. Often the adult child needs therapy. It changes everything, including relationships going forward. It always means LOTS of loss for the NPE kids and often the biological family who missed out on knowing the child. Some people who find out end up suicidal. Dr. Laura gave the worst advice I’ve ever heard on an NPE (non-parental event/Not Parent Expected). Seriously, the meanest person anyone of us knows would have given better advice than this. Dangerous. Cruel. Demeaning. Name calling. She kept calling the biological father a “piece of $h!t.” Many times when adult NPE children meet their biological fathers, the fathers say they were never told their child existed and wish they had known so they could have been in their lives. There is sadness and loss on both sides. She also called the poor caller names throughout the call. She said, “I seriously would rather smack you across the head than anything else right now...you insensitive, ungrateful twit.” That caller deserved better.

Wisdom
I’ve been listening to Dr Laura for almost 30 years. I wish I could have found her in my teens; I would have saved myself so much heartache and pain. Now I don’t have to miss a minute of her show and I can hear it at my leisure. She is full of compassionate common sense that isn’t so common anymore. She blunt and direct and gets to the point in a short amount of time. Tip: the first 2 months of listening, I hated how blunt she was. After that, I realized why she cuts people off and direct. She has been doing this for over 40 years and know how to get to the point. So I recommend you listen for at least 3 months. Also, I read her book, The 10 Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives. Amazingly awesome and accurate things to avoid. I wish I had read (and actually took in the info) it when I was a teen.

Good words go against the ears, good medicine suffers You have to live a certain length of life , heard and read so much, experienced so much yourself , plus meet some wise mind like Dr Laura before you can get Dr Laura’s wisdom. But I don’t think you can meet someone who is nearly as insightful as Dr Laura in the next one hundred years. Only people with certain brain power can fully get her points, Dr Laura will not get five stars easily only because she is the real five star! I mean if Dr Laura gets five stars every day, I might quit and go somewhere else.

Nasty is NOT ETIQUETTE!
I enjoy listening and agree with some advice. But....in order to get respect, you must give it. To interrupt people before they can even get their story out is so disrespectful. Screaming at them and telling them not to interrupt YOU while you do the exact same thing is unacceptable. Name calling is childish and unbelievable coming from a So called professional. I value your wisdom and advice but you need to understand people and respect everyone. Mrs. Nice, Nasty. Praying you will listen to your loyal listeners advice. From one professional to another.

I love Dr. Laura’s show, she gives fantastic advice, my only issue is that when I listen at work I have to constantly adjust the volume because of the “MA’AM!!! MA’AM!!!

Entertaining
I often agree with Dr. Laura, however I would not ask her advice about a relationship I want to keep. She judges too quickly, makes too many assumptions, and is too quick to write people off. I would seek advice from someone who seeks resolution before assuming everyone is unchangeable. I think she could practice listening and see positive results.

For example, in chess you have to think ahead so that you can protect the king or the queen. In your comments somehow you can see where we going; plan head and give the correct answer. I didn’t know that I was a nag, until you told me so. So, now I have stopped nagging and the hubby is happier. Thank you for being you.

Cuts to the Chase
I regularly listened to Dr. Laura’s radio show in the 90s and recently discovered Call of the Day. I enjoy Dr. Laura and my opinions remain unchanged: • Dr. Laura is smart, logical and typically spot-on • She has a gift for quickly reading others • She rapidly washes away lies and BS • She is kind and compassionate when warranted; likewise, she is harsh when warranted I appreciate Dr. Laura’s views on rewarding performance/doing the right thing versus feelings, i.e., you won’t see her handing out medals for last place, just so people’s feelings aren’t hurt. Concurrently, I vehemently disagree with some of Dr. Laura’s views. It is critical to use one’s own brain when listening to a personality as strong as Dr. Laura’s. We are people, not sheep. Listen, learn, but always be true to one’s own beliefs.

Blunt Dr. Laura is my favorite!
Listening to her calls has helped me, mother of three, open up in discussions about many important topics to my children. We enjoy listening to her but most importantly learn about how to handle different issues.

Love the honesty
I find Dr. Laura’s approach absolutely refreshing! She’s not mean just to the point and doesn’t want to hear a bunch of whining and excuses. I loved it when she confronted the topic of women acting as if their husband has done something wrong by being truthful about massive weight gain! We all age and change however if your husband didn’t marry you fat why would he all the sudden find fat sexy? I love the truth and confrontation of her style to many people want to be coddled in this day and age. Don’t call Dr. Laura unless your looking for some cold hard truth

Why so mean and rude??
I originally listened to her podcast because I enjoy people getting advice for their issues but got d$@m this lady is unnecessarily mean, rude, and disrespectful. Told one lady that someone had called in on a different call because she had gained weight and down right said Well of course he’s not attracted to you, you’re fat and fat isn’t sexy😳🤭 like tf?! Then asked another lady if she was smarter than a house plant!! I’m all for blunt honesty and I thought that’s what she was giving out...real, raw honesty but no...she sounds annoyed and hateful when people are really coming to her for advice and help!! She’s like the Wicked Witch of podcasts...I’m sad I had to give her one star..that’s too many. You can give people advice without being disrespectful, hurtful and ugly!! Someone needs to Dr. Laura, Dr. Laura!!!

She is very hateful
I don’t remember Dr. Laura being so mean when I listened to her years ago. I tried listening to two episodes of her call of the day podcast but shut it down when she started yelling at the caller and calling her a stupid wuss because the caller wanted to be polite. She was just as rude on the first call as well. There is no reason to treat people like that. How does she even have an audience?

Believes she’s an expert in all matters
I agree she is spot on with relational type matters. However, when it comes to health matters she speaks from an authority voice, but is actually clueless on health. Her wrong advice to a husband a few months ago concerning a mother’s correct decision on the health needs of their children was wrong and very damaging to a family. I quit listening to her at that point and I had been a listener for over 30 years. She needs to not stay out of topics she has zero knowledge of and stick with what she knows.

Dr. Laura is very wise
I went from being single to having 3 step children. Dr. Laura’s advice gave me lots of wisdom to handle the situation with success and the success of teaching my step children. Teaching equals love, not being involved is being neglectful and successfully raising brats. And spoiling children should be as equal as abuse because they turn out with unreasonably high expectations of other people. Parent to raise child to be respectful and honest adult. Thank you Dr. Laura for you years of awesome advice.

I used to love listening to her and would recommend her channel to everyone. I still like the good sense that she brings to people. However, it seems like she has gotten bitter overtime or something.. I understand her going after the “shock” factor, but sometimes it seems like she lacks compassion. Overall she’s great, it’s just what I’ve noticed throughout the years.

Honest in a time of P.C.
I’ve read some of her books and listen to pod casts and I can’t help but admire the straightforward honesty she presents. Not many people can do that today and stand the constant attacks as people “get their feelings hurt” and don’t focus on whether something is right and true. People feed on reactivity instead of thinking things through. I applaud her wisdom and her willingness to share it.

I miss the old her
Back in the day listening to her, she used to really seem to care about people and their stories. She seemed to love what she did and genuinely wanted to help. These days she is cold and lost her touch with people. It’s like she is after the shock factor instead of trying to help. Maybe she is just done with this career or jaded from something. I don’t know. But her listeners deserve her best and to be heard when they are called. That’s what made her who she is. Probably shouldn’t forget that.

My role model...
She helped me as a single mothers to raise two wonderful boys , she helped me to concentrate on investing in them rather then to worry about my sex life and looking for a new stud ..., she taught me how not to be selfish and how to put the interest of my boys before my own interest- as a result- I have now two terrific human beings- wonderful husbands to they wife’s and devoted fathers to they children.... all my girlfriends that had similar situation to mine- chosen different route- they were too busy looking for a “ new love” ... as u can imagine- no new love and lost children... they don’t have good relationships with they mom’s those children- they felt that mama was too busy with the new man in her life... not me- I’m for ever great full to dr Laura for guidance, wisdom, toughness and reality check..., May God bless her for what she does every single day... I will never forget- brutal but honest- yep that her ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rude
I find her to be very rude and demeaning to the people calling in. She belittles them and makes them feel stupid. Dr. Laura believes she knows everything and she very much does not. You cannot walk in someone’s shoes after having a 10 minute phone call. I encourage her to be more compassionate and empathetic because she has NO idea what these women are truly going through. Unsubscribing.

No nonsense
I’ve been listening to Dr. Laura, since she was on KFI640AM. I’d have her on the radio, while taking my children to school. They are now in their 20‘s, and they remember Dr Laura & her no no nonsense advice. After the father of my five children dumped me, I never again dated, just like Dr Laura suggested. Once my last child became an adult, I now will begin dating once again. Best advice she gave someone like me.

Meh
Dr. Laura uses the same incendiary rhetoric that our latest crop of politicians use’s when answering questions. She is so rude and telling a woman who grew up with an abusive alcoholic that her confidence issues in the workplace and lack of self-confidence are “normal, shut up and she should stop worrying about her past” is just mean. Of course people would rather not let past abuse affect them but Laura seems to get a kick out of putting down those already on the low. Not a fan. This woman shouldn’t be giving advice. When she doesn’t know what to say or how to help she should point her listeners to professional help. I would skip this in favor of literally any other podcast and go see a therapist.

If you don’t like Dr. Laura, then you are ignorant.
I’ve been listing to Dr. Laura for over 15 years. Every call I hear I always walk away learning something or realizing something. There are times the entire discussion may not apply to me directly. I do however, walk away learning something. What can be better then that. She is a straight shooter and will call you out whether you are in the wrong or if you are right. Bulling is never a word to be used when describing her. If that’s how you receive her advice then go find the “second star to the right, and straight on til morning”. Dr. Laura, I’ve been keeping track of my favorite quotes of yours and will email them to you when I have a list worth your time remembering. Thank you for all you do.

Please Don’t Change
Yes, she gets impatient with idiot callers; so would mother Theresa after 40 years. No one cares to hear all the unnecessary details if the callers’ issue; just let Dr. Laura do her magic. Thankfully, we still have Dr. Laura to give us wisdom and honesty. She’s one of a kind and the world will be a dark place when she retires. There isn’t anyone that could take her place.

Each time I try to give this woman another chance, I cringe. Since when is shaming and bullying helpful? I used to listen to Dr Laura and used to think she was the greatest. After significant trauma in my life, I had to get into serious recovery with multiple therapist; all excellent. It has made me realize what a sham Dr Laura is. I truly believe she either needs to go back to school or retire.

Dr. Laura doesn’t let people give the socially acceptable excuses of our time. People aren’t used to that. She has limited time for each call and therefore is very quick at getting to the heart of the situation. Good old fashioned morals and standards. Sadly, She is a dying breed. Love her.

This is too short of a podcast and way too much advertising. I give her a 4 out of 5 primarily because I love her but only getting 4 to 10 minute clips makes me not want to listen. Hope she starts posting her entire show. That would be nice or at least an hour.

Wouldn’t even give it one star
I can’t stand this podcast.... the way Dr. Laura speaks to the other just seems plain out rude to me... I tried listening to a few that I felt i could relate to.. but all I felt was annoyed. She makes these people feel stupid, she tells you what to do, what to think and puts you on the spot to where you just agree with her so you don’t have to hear her bash you again... I can’t stand her... I can tell she just annoys and pisses some of these people off... or makes them feel bad about themselves.... you can’t be open and say what you want to say bc she mocks you and attacks you like there’s something wrong with you ...and maybe she has some good advice, but she goes about it in the wrong way. My heart hurts for these people... and all she does is push them. I never write reviews... but this one I had to. Don’t bother with this garbage, it’s a waste of time...

Good and bad
Sometimes when I notice Dr Laura in a bad mood I delete the whole episode She is good and I’ve grown up listening to her but some days you can tell she doesn’t have much patience for callers who irritate or annoy her and that’s when I delete it I can’t continue to listen to her make people feel stupid. But on the days she’s in a better mood I enjoy and save episodes that relate to me and my family.

Absolutely love your take and advise on love, marriage and longevity in marriage. I’ve been married for 40 years and can plainly see the benefits of “sticking with it” even when it would be easier to quit......which there’s a reason to every day. But focusing on reasons to stay and love truly had its rewards. A best friend to hold your hand when you no longer look like you did when you were 20 and have a history that you can love and laugh about forever! Thank you Dr Laura for being relevant in a world that no longer values relevance .

I started listening to podcasts a few months ago and came across Dr.Laura listed in the “you may also like” section. I listened and have been a fan ever since. I love her no nonsense attitude and approach. And she agree’s with me on not letting a daycare center care for your baby! I thought I was the only one who felt like this ! I should have found he a long time ago! She is the mother voice I never had but it’s never too late! Love you Dr. Laura

LOVE the content, sound quality is iffy
I really enjoy the content of this podcast, however the sound quality really struggles. The volume swings broadly from episode to episode and some callers are nearly impossible to hear. I normally listen to podcasts at Level 10-12 on my radio volume but with Dr Laura I have to listen at Level 20-30. The intro is always a good volume and then it drops off when they start talking, so I’m constantly cranking the volume up and down throughout the episode and between episodes.

This is literally the best show and podcast ever made. I am obsessed with Dr. Laura and her passion for marriage and families. Whenever a new episode comes out I immediately feel like I need to drop everything and listen. It’s that good!! I love her advice and I agree with mostly everything she says. She has really shaped some of my major values.

Decided to call in about a problem I was having with my husband..this has been a sensitive subject for me for a long time. And I listened to her podcast for the first time today and thought, I should call to see what she has to help me. Well, she was very rude about me getting married at 20. Almost like my whole life is a mistake bc I got married young..she told me i could chose between two things..to go back to my mothers house with out any care in the world that my mother won’t accept me back and I don’t have a father. Or go to the gym for 2 hours a day, o excuse me nvm she said that was too harsh, to go for an hour and a half and my marriage would be saved. AND I FOUND OUT THESE TWO OPTIONS AFTER I CALLED BACK FROM HER HANGING UP IN MY EAR. I am all for her being blunt and somewhat rude..but to treat me the way she did was absolutely uncalled for. There’s no reason to push someone down when they are trying to call and get advice when they are already down. I will be unsubscribing to this circus.

Dr Laura has helped me just by listening
I have had the good doctor in my car now for several years. I did not have the kind of guidance and upbringing that allowed me to have stable good relationships now. She has helped me realized how to take control and deal with the bad so my kids have a shot. She probably doesn’t realize how many ppl she does help just by listening to those who call. Thank you doctor Laura. Thank you very much.

I don’t see the appeal to getting interrupted, talked down to, and judged. But everyone learns differently so props to everyone who enjoys that.

Grandma is just a crabby old woman.
I cant belive this old hag is still handing out advice... I mean condescending sarcasm. If you want to listen to an old woman interupt people and talk to them like they are (blank) on her shoe, listen to this old gal. There should be a Saturday night live skit about this hack. She's horrible. Tells it like it is? Her own life has been a hot mess. Why would anyone pay a disaster for help? Grandma is just a crabby old woman who gets off on talking to people like dogs.

Do your research!
The “Doctor” title has nothing to do with therapy. She was ‘hooking up’ with her husband before he was divorced. When they did finally marry, he left his wife AND children. She posed naked for another lover (google it, the pics are still out there). If she would admit she’s far, far from perfect and has made many mistakes, perhaps her advice would have some teeth once in a while. Nope. She boasts about herself and her ‘accomplishments’ in every show ad nauseam. I suspect many of her callers are fake just like the guests on her short-lived television show. Why do I listen every so often? Because it drives my husband nuts. He cannot stand this mean, vile woman. It’s good-natured teasing and afterward I usually get to listen to my channel of choice so long as she’s not on it.

If you don’t want to hear the truth, don’t listen.
You might think she is harsh but she does that to get the attention of the caller. No pyscho-babble, just real conversation.

I grew up listening to Dr. Laura (the classic, 1-800-DRLAURA, I vividly remember her spelling it out!) and I’m SO EXCITED she's on the podcast platform! Thank you for always being blunt, true to yourself, and the lady we’ve all needed at some point. Me and my momma can’t love and thank you enough for doing this work! Here’s to many more “you’re shacking up,” “do not divorce until that child is 18,” and all the other good slices in-between!

Can we say misogyny?!
Laura has some good advice, and some bad advice but she seems to relish telling family members to cut each out of their lives permanently when there is conflict. She is mentally unstable and brilliant—both.

Blunt, rude, but almost always right
She chastises callers when she thinks they interrupt (usually it’s just cross talk because they’re on a cell phone and don’t realize she’s talking). But she deliberately interrupts them mid-sentence and makes them stop what they’re saying so she can speak. She’s also inconsistent with how much background info she wants. Most callers are nervous and have no idea how much of what they told the screener was passed along. She tells some callers she doesn’t know anything and wants them to give all these details. She tells other callers who start with those same details that she doesn’t need to know all that. There are some times where she’ll cut off a caller with advice based on important information that the listener didn’t even hear, which makes her sound like a presumptuous nut. It grates on my nerves, but I power through because the information is still valuable and nobody else is willing to dispense the tough answers people need to hear.

Good advice at times - rude attitude most times
Dr. Laura has some good advice for certain people and I do like her conservative and unwavering standpoints on most things. I love that she encourages women to stay home with their kids. She is honest about that and speaks her mind. After listening to her for a few months, I have come to appreciate her for who she is. Who she is not, is patient. She is rude and can be very unfair and unnecessary cruel. When people call that struggle with someone dying or someone being in obvious distress - there is a time and a place for yelling at someone. I think she had reached her peak a few years back. Now one can tell her age and that she enjoys having power over these poor creatures that call. She does not like to be interrupted, yet she sometimes asks a question and before that person can put one sentence in, she will cut them off in a very rude way. I don’t appreciate that kind of a queen bee stance. I don’t appreciate her calling people names. There is a line between being blunt and being rude that she so often crosses and that makes listening very hard.

I have heard many callers of different sexualities call in and she is kind, warm and stern when she needs to be. She has a wisdom and common sense that when distilled down to its most basic core is about raising healthy happy children and putting their needs above all else. If children aren’t involved then she want people to make smarter choices for happier lives. Would love to do her show with her one day. Would be amazing!

Some people are nasty
I like Dr. Laura. She is spot on. I read some of these ugly reviews, and I like her even more. Apparently Dr. Laura is touching a nerve. This is a woman whom has had to deal with the crap people throw at her and she still rises to the top. And most likely those who wrote the negative reviews are still and always will be at the bottom. I’m not a sheeple or someone who will blindly follow the flavor of the day. But you can bet money that those attacking Dr. Laura are not happy in their lives or those words would not have been typed. Here is some simple advice to simple minds, take the energy you use to attack others and improve your bleak reality. And to Dr. Laura, you are doing so much that is right. If not you wouldn’t be a inner voice nagging these weak minds. Keep it up, so many people appreciate your strength. Keep rising and intimidating those who are weak.

Just listening to the call of the day episodes is helping me get some things in my life back on track. She can be harsh but she is also compassionate and always seems to hit the nail on the head when helping her guests. When she speaks with guests that have issues with their parents and childhood, I’m learning about how to deal with my own parent and getting the strength I need to do what is good for me and my family. I’m so thankful to have these episodes.

I have been listening to Dr. Laura for over 20 years. I met her on a cruise. She was a lot of fun. I talked to her in person and she was very nice. She took a picture of us together. I agree with her about 90% of the time. She has a lot of wisdom and strength. Dr. Laura is intelligent and intuitive. I hope I will be able to meet her again some time. She has helped me with her insights. If you are politically correct you won’t like her.

Oversensitive people (Because its the truth)
I used to not like her. I used to think she was rude but the more I listen to her the more I see that she is blunt and honest. I read the reviews and I was confused my husband explained one of the reviews and the more he explained the more I saw she is not hurtful, rude, or disrespectful. It’s the over sensitive people getting butt hurt. I love this woman she is a breath of fresh air because she does not sugarcoat and lays everything out on the table in a world where people lie and take advantage of you. Please I urge you listen to her podcasts with and open mind because she does help and I am looking forward to reading her book 10 stupid things couples do to mess up their relationships and I am excited to use the info she teaches.

I think Dr Laura is Amazing
I admire and respect Dr. Laura’s blunt, frank and honest thoughts, advice and opinions on relationships, marriage, parenting. I think she’s amazing. In the very beginning I didn’t necessarily think so but after listening to her for not even two years, I’m really liking her. I think it requires individuals like her to NOT sugar coat. Sugar coating does no one any good. I’d rather hear the truth and it hurt than hear pretty words that end up hurting me and others in the long run.

Listen now!
Dr. Laura is a no-nonsense advisor. I don’t always agree at first, but when I balance her views with my own, her advice is sound. No she doesn’t have an hour to coddle to your every feeling. She’s trying to help as many people as possible in a short time so she speaks succinctly. If you can’t handle the truth, or even think for yourself when you hear something you disagree with, then this is probably the very show you NEED to be listening to. Look at the comments from those who disagreed when younger but now that they are older (30s-40s) sing her praises. That’s because you truly are wiser with age. I recommend her to all of my family members at every opportunity.

I don’t think it’s always intentional it sounds like there is a delay in the phone conversions on her show but she cuts people off constantly and tells them, screams at them, to shut up when I really don't think they can hear her. It’s embarrassing.

Dr. Laura’s advice.
Dr. Laura is old school and makes common sense. I don’t agree with most of her political views and wish she would stick to helping people which she does very well. I also wish I had discovered her when I was young so I could have avoided all the pit falls I stumbled into. Although a lot of the people she talks with have listened to her forever and totally did everything she advised against then have to call her for help.

Some days I love her, some days I don’t! She is pretty helpful, but she is also very moody. I listen enough that I can tell when she’s in a bad mood. She does help people, but is very self promoting. I also noticed that on the “call of the day,” the only calls that are played are the ones where she is praised very highly. Also, way too many commercials.

Sharp, smart, and Direct
After years of listening to Dr Laura I still remember how her directness shocked me when i first heard it. I had never heard anyone in any media talk so honestly with people, especially when it was something they maybe didn’t want to hear. She told them if they were wrong, if they were being weak, if they were evil, if they needed to eat crow. And she still does it. In our world of spin and fake news, hurt feelings and selfish behavior Dr. Laura cuts to the chase and tells callers exactly what they need to hear. So glad she’s still here reminding us to do the right thing.

Knowledge
As a therapist myself, I wish I had such uncanny intuition to read people and help them find answers. Dr Laura is brilliant. Many are not understanding of Truth, and do not see or refuse to see the reality. What we give... not receive ..is how we find joy and happiness. I am a pain management specialist. No one in my 35 years of work got better by me feeling sorry for them. Today people turn away from therapy that doesn’t patronize them. The answer is in acceptance... then learn to cultivate joy.. our purpose in life.

Maybe once upon a time . . .
Great advise circa 1940’s and 50’s. Fast forward to 2018 and some of Dr. Laura’s principles are antiquated when it comes to raising a daughter in today’s world. Women must be financially independent. To rely upon someone else to provide your life’s basic necessities is, in my opinion, crazy. It’s today’s reality.

If they would actually do their research they would find that she believes in live and let live.... just put the children first. Hate.... I think not. Blunt..... you betcha!!! Gentle.... at heart. She often offers to adopt callers.... I always raise my hand and say, “ME!!! PICK ME!!!!!!” ❤️ you dr Laura!!!

Truth can be harsh, and it can hurt. But ultimately it heals.
If you are looking for someone to affirm you in your bad behavior, look elsewhere. But if you want someone who will help you overcome your struggles, you’ve found her. In a world that has forgotten morals and has lost sight of truth, Dr. Laure stands as a beacon of light point people in the right direction. To hear the truth can be harsh, and it can hurt, but ultimately it heals.

Disgusting...
I use to wonder if your rudeness was for show and ratings but after all the years you have been doing this I see this is really your behavior. Retire already! It’s disgusting the way you talk to people and cut them off before they can even get their thoughts out. Your show today was about women not being “wusses” and tackling issues head on instead of sweeping it under the rug. I have decided to take your advice on this Dr Laura. I’m letting the world know how absolutely revolting your character is. Your listeners call and wait for extended periods of time to speak with you just for you to cut them off and hang up on them. Why take the call if you aren’t at least going to entertain their question to some degree. Well, it’s a new year and, with your advice in mind, I’m deleting this sorry app and will no longer endure your nasty behavior to people in need. I hope anyone reading this will follow suit.

Mean?
But, boy does she get your attention. For those that don’t get it, some have to be shocked into reality. It’s not the usual stroking, it’s a powerful dose of reality in a few minutes of time. By right wing, I’m sure you mean the “raise your own kids” stance, vs. daycare. Let’s be honest - that’s the primary source of our current culture issues. The breakdown of the family.

Dr. Laura expects men to be men and women to be women. Children should be taken care of by their parents and held accountable by their actions. People often don’t want to hear the truth but with Dr. Laura she forces you to deal with the truth. She can often be rude but the people that call soon realize she isn’t going to bed around the bush. She gets to the real issue. I don’t always agree with her but she has a good way of looking at a lot of things.
