Say More with Dr? Sheila
5.0/5
Critic Rating
In the world of feelings, there are winners and losers, and somebody has to be the judge. World-renowned, self-proclaimed couples therapist Dr? Sheila invites you to sit in on her private sessions with clients. (For legal reasons, Dr? must be said in the form of a question.) Each week, a new couple…and a new puzzle to crack. You’ll get to hear, and benefit from, many of her famous techniques as she counsels patients on overcoming disagreements, dealing with an overstepping mother-in-law, navigating open relationships, and much more. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show, because the best way to feel better about yourself is to compare your problems to the problems of others. “Say More” features guests including Kate Berlant, Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, Maya Rudolph, Ike Barinholtz, Jessica St. Clair, Lennon Parham, Paula Pell, Janine Brito, Jason Mantzoukas, Peter Grosz, Jean Villepique, Stephnie Weir, John Lutz, Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, Chris Parnell and Ana Gasteyer, and stars Amy Poehler as Dr? Sheila.

"...hilarious, inspired and unscripted riff on couples therapy podcasts and the modern relationship guru....the total commitment, the apparent glee — feels a little like watching Michael Jordan drive to the basket...mold-breaking series into a thrilling and hysterical high-wire act."

Fiona McCann • Irish Times • Nov 4, 2023
"Say More is so well executed, the language of therapy so closely mimicked, Dr? Sheila’s methods so blatantly contrary to any code of conduct or even sense, that it makes for crackling comedy. Say More’s 25-ish minute episodes are a delight. Knowing that they are largely improvised, and that each of those involved have a limited knowledge about where the episode will take them, lends it a freshness that’s funnier still."

"Say More with Dr? Sheila non è il classico podcast pieno di celebrity invitate solo per macinare ascolti senza curarsi del mezzo audio, ma è piuttosto un contenuto squisitamente pensato per il mondo dei podcast...creando cortocircuiti di involontaria comicità che Poehler e i suoi ospiti sono bravissimi a ricreare. Insomma, ascoltando Say More with Dr? Sheila ci si diverte anche ascoltando la pubblicità. ///// Say More with Dr? Sheila is not the classic podcast full of celebrities invited just to rack up listeners without worrying about the audio medium, but rather it is content exquisitely designed for the world of podcasts...creating short circuits of involuntary comedy that Poehler and his guests they are very good at recreating. In short, listening to Say More with Dr? Sheila also enjoys listening to commercials."

"I’m normally not into scripted podcasts but they had me at Amy Poehler as a couples therapist....keep you laughing about their ridiculous relationship struggles. Even the commercials are hysterical. …"
