- It’d be happier…but ADS
I have loved Gretchen Rubin’s books and podcast for several years and was an avid listener to the podcast each week. The ads are getting ridiculous at the point, and I noticed the biggest change when they moved to Lemonada. Episode content is getting shorter while ads get longer.
I don’t listen to Little Happier episodes, but on a recent long drive one auto played, and it was alllllll ad but a tiny little story of content.
C’mon, Gretch and Liz… I know we all have bills to pay, but this i... more

I’m such a fan of Gretchen and Elizabeth (I love Happier in Hollywood, which is how I found this podcast). The sisters have interesting topics and it’s delightful to listen to them share about their lives, their families, etc. I look at to each episode!
Apple Podcasts5lee44!United States16 days ago - Their ads are not authentic!
Okay love this podcast. I have been listening to Gretchen and Liz for years. They regularly comment on how their fearful drivers, additionally Gretchen doesn’t even own a vehicle why do they always advertise car insurance and the Defender SUV? Lol keep us the great podcast but I don’t trust these darn ads because they contradict what they say!
Apple Podcasts5KenzieerrrUnited States19 days ago - Like listening to friends
I have listened to Gretchen and Elizabeth for years and I absolutely love their words of wisdom and fun anecdotes. I have been following my own Happiness Project for almost as long as well as being an avid reader of Gretchen’s books. I always feel like I have caught up with good friends after listening to each episode. And of course feel much happier! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
