  • Smart, fun, and even some good advice

    I can see why Dan has stayed relevant for as long as he has. One of the greats. And kudos for giving the audience the last word to take him to task on disagreements or additional advice from his last ep.

  • Informative, edgy, funny. Do I really need to continue? Really? I do have to continue because there's a 15 word minimum? Dumb.

  • Amazing sex and relationship advice for everyone, most importantly LGBTQ+

    I’ve listened to Dan Savage, pre-internet, “Savage Love”(I think) on the radio about 25+ years ago.

    My boyfriend at the time and I loved his commentary, analysis and advice for all kind of relationships.

    Dan is clearly very gifted, articulate even during challenging and delicate conversations, and intelligent and warm.

    While I’m in Canada now, when I was in Seattle, I read his column in The Stranger every week. 10/10.
