Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 1.6k ratings
  • The guests make this podcast interesting, but the host absolutely ruins it. Her constant interrupting is so annoying, unprofessional and inconsiderate. She interrupts guests mid-sentence while they're telling deeply personal stories to paraphrase what they're saying and ask completely unnecessary questions. As well as ruining the listening experience it also makes me feel sorry for the guests.

  • Addictive & Insightful

    A deeply insightful and eye-opening listen

    The Affair is an incredible podcast that handles a complex topic with real depth. Hearing authentic, real-life stories from every angle—both from those who have stepped outside their relationship and those who were cheated on—gives it a rare and honest perspective. It really made me reflect on my own past relationships and gave me new insight into experiences I hadn't fully processed before. Highly recommended for anyone looking for nuance, empathy, and... more

  • Good podcast with room to improve!

    The concept of the podcast is really interesting and I love hearing people’s stories about their experiences with infidelity. However, the “what happens next” episodes feel like filler and are sold as exciting updates that we can’t miss, but actually feature previous guests talking for another 20 minutes without really sharing major updates. The ads also come up at really odd times - often while someone is in the middle of a sentence instead of during a clean break in conversation. And I know th... more

  • Interesting

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and have recommended it to friends. It’s fascinating hearing the different perspectives and it is done in a kind way by Anna. I do tend to agree with some of the other reviews about the balance of guest/host speaking, and I do skip chunks as a result. Nonetheless, a really interesting and compassionate listen.

  • Obsessed!!!

    I absolutely love this podcast! I listen whenever I get the chance, and I find every episode so interesting and engaging. Anna has such a brilliant way of communicating with people and asking questions that makes the conversations feel really open and genuine.

    What I especially love is that there is no judgement. She creates a space where people can be honest and talk openly about their experiences, even when the topics are difficult or complicated. I think that’s what makes the podcast so fasc... more
