"Byer is disarmingly open about her insecurities and struggles and seamlessly stirs in vulgar humor. She is very charismatic and hosts hilarious conversations with guest comedians…"

"I love how Byer is willing to be open and confident enough to tell embarrassing or ridiculous stories about herself. Overall, I definitely recommend listening to Why Won’t You Date Me? as it gives an amusing commentary on the ups and downs of modern dating. Byer’s ability to transition between serious topics and scandalous stories often leads to an engaging and poignant experience. "

"There is an aim at sexual education and liberation in a lot of the content they cover, specifically when her guests are part of the LGBTQ+ community, as they often are. This is one reason I would continue to listen to this podcast in the future. The upfront and non-apologetic take on sexuality is refreshing, and in regards to sexuality, this podcast is a zero judgement zone."

"The podcast is a reassuring pat on the back that celebrities are not perfect and neither are their love lives. It’s a real treat."
