Podcasts about Dear Abby

Ann Landers was thrilled. She'd just landed a job as the new syndicated advice columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. Her new role gave Ann something to call her own. Then, just three months later, her twin sister Abby shared some news. She'd gotten a job as an advice columnist, too. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from: The book “Dear Ann, Deary Abby: The Unauthorized Biography of Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren” by Jan Pottker and Bob Speziale “Twin lovelorn advisers torn asunder by success,” by Paul O'Neil for Life Magazine The book, “The Best of Ann Landers: Her Favorite Letters of All Time,” by Ann Landers The book, “The Best of Dear Abby,” by Abigail Van Buren “Pauline Phillips, better known as ‘Dear Abby,' dies at 94,” Washington Post “Ann Landers, advice giver to the millions, is dead at 83,” by Margalit Fox for the New York Times “The rivalry of Dear Abby and Ann Landers,” by Melissa Baron for BookRiot.com “Landers' death renews family feud,” South Florida Sun Sentinel “Pauline Phillips, longtime Dear Abby advice dies at 94,” by Michael Martinez for CNN “Columnists/ daughters carry on the feud,” by Beverly Beyette for the Los Angeles Times “Competition between Iowa sisters who penned Dear Abby, Ann Landers fueled advice columns,” Des Moines Register Are you enjoying An Old Timey Podcast?

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITCoffee-scented wake-up calls? We start with a quirky hotel experiment rolling out across Asia Pacific: an alarm clock that swaps buzzers for breakfast aromas like coffee, bacon, blueberry muffins, and regional picks. It's playful and a little provocative—can a smell actually make mornings better, or is it just smart hospitality designed to nudge us toward the free buffet? We unpack the psychology of scent, the realities of travel routines, and why gentle cues can shift a mood even if they don't fix jet lag.From there, we pivot to the hard stuff: how to handle ageist comments with grace and backbone. When neighbors take shots at a 54-year-old for wearing color or riding a mountain bike, the real issue isn't years—it's respect. We workshop clean, dignified replies that shut down the jab without lighting a fire, and talk about choosing your energy wisely in elevators, lobbies, and any other shared space where classless jokes try to find an audience.We also wade into relationship waters where humor crosses the line. What do you do when a partner “jokes” about you in public—calling you dangerous, a shoplifter, or too sensitive? We map a calm, clear boundary plan, why follow-through matters more than a perfect clapback, and when a neutral third party can reset patterns. Finally, we step onto the dance floor: managing jealousy, drunk intrusions, and spotlight partners with simple team signals that keep connection strong and drama low. We wrap by sharing our own first-date story—a two-and-a-half-hour drive for diner stools and grilled greatness—and invite yours.If this mix of travel quirks, social courage, and real relationship tools hits home, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop your first-date story in a comment or review. Your stories help others feel seen—and they might just inspire our next episode.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

For decades, Dear Abby and Ann Landers were the undisputed queens of advice columns. They had millions of loyal readers. They were celebrated public figures. Their columns stood out for being sassy, sharp, and at times, shockingly progressive. But, behind the scenes, the twin sisters had a contentious, competitive relationship. In this episode, we set the scene for the women they would one day become. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

In another classically tangential episode of Don't Ask Me to Talk, Stacy sips from her trusty Owala bottle while sparking a debate on banning plastic water bottles and recycling schemes that may or may not involve mailing empty bottles to Pollywood. Meanwhile, Eric recounts his misadventures at a Nicky Glazer show—complete with a surprise Amanda Knox comedy set and losing his car in a mystery garage while “The Girlfriend” battles a bug. Stacy continues to battle her ankle injury and referees a feline feud that ends with her “grandcat” Wilson scaling her leg like a tree. The duo swaps wild bumper sticker sightings, Dear Abby zingers, and Reddit threads, then dive into their “Cultural Blindspots” segment with reviews of classic British films. Plus, Stacy's bottled water family history and a quick stop in Flint, Michigan keep the laughs, if not the water, flowing. Tune in for witty banter, awkward encounters, and a clever take on everyday quirks! DAMTT is on Facebook and Instagram as @dontaskme to talk or email asking@dontaskmetotalk.com

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver have one of those days when scrolling through the news just makes you want to close your browser and walk away? That's exactly what happened in this episode. After a brief morning coffee delay (complete with baristas blaming their "self-cleaning espresso machine"), I decided to skip the usual news commentary because everything felt "awful and gross."Instead, I pivoted to something more entertaining - a game of "Which Dear Abby letter is fake?" I briefly touched on the Jimmy Kimmel controversy, noting Kat Timpf's misunderstanding of the FCC's role, and shared Jon Stewart's humorous response where he wore Trump-like attire on The Daily Show. But the real fun began with three peculiar advice column scenarios: an elderly mother mysteriously distancing herself from her children, a neighbor who insists on mowing his lawn at 6 AM while singing polka songs off-key, and a fitness center patron concerned about another woman's overly transparent leggings.Each letter presents its own unique interpersonal dilemma - when to intervene in an elderly parent's changing behavior, how to handle minor neighborhood annoyances without creating unnecessary conflict, and the delicate question of whether to mention potentially embarrassing clothing issues to strangers. Both Dear Abby's responses and my commentary reveal different approaches to these everyday social challenges. But here's the twist - while all advice columns seem somewhat fabricated, one of these three scenarios actually came straight from my imagination. Can you guess which one before I reveal the answer?Listen now and see if you can spot the fake Dear Abby letter, then join me and the gent this Sunday for our "Brood Awakening" episode where we'll dive into deeper conversations.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren, also known as Dear Abby, were newspaper advice columnists answering questions and printing statements from their 100 million readers from the 1950s to the early 2000s. The flamboyant, eccentric women behind the columns, Eppie Lederer and Popo Phillips, had a fiery rivalry as they fought for the top spot of the advice column industrial complex. On this episode, I dish about the lives of these (allegedly) one-of-a-kind housewife-oracles and explain how their very public opinions on hot-button issues affected American culture for half a century of colossal political change.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITEver wonder if your hotel checkout routine brands you as "old-fashioned"? You're not alone! Today's episode dives into the surprisingly heated debate over proper hotel etiquette, where younger travelers champion the "ghost exit" while others defend the traditional front desk farewell as basic courtesy to hardworking staff.The absurdity of corporate America takes center stage with Mattel's lawsuit against podcaster Ken Bibiragi for daring to use his actual name in his show "Coffee with Ken." The toy giant claims this creates confusion with Barbie's boyfriend—a stretch that has us questioning whether legal departments sometimes have too much time on their hands. This David-versus-Goliath no battle reveals how aggressive trademark protection can border on the ridiculous.We also explore Zoe Kravitz's misadventure at Taylor Swift's $25 million mansion, where a pet snake escape led to bathroom demolition, and tackle a controversial Dear Abby letter from a woman considering divorce after 50 years of marriage because her 70-year-old husband has taken up daily marijuana use. This sparks our deeper discussion about cannabis legalization, medical benefits, and societal double standards between marijuana and cigarette smoking. Share your thoughts on these topics—especially if you work in healthcare, we'd love to hear your professional perspective on marijuana's legitimate uses versus recreational consumption!Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

We are in the Emerald Isle and Ireland seems to be winning the very competitive race to be nominated the most anti-semitic country in Europe. It's not even safe to go to an Irish pub or get a bus without being attacked for being Jewish. We bring you the video of the latest attack. And as anti-semitism runs riot, what does the parliament focus on -  trying to get a law passed that singles out jews for economic boycott in Europe, for the first time since the Nazis. Watch our show to find out how.With the increase of anti-semitism and victim-blaming of Israel around the world, we are determined to bring our play OCTOBER 7: IN THEIR WORDS, everywhere we can. Please go to October7theplay.com (linked below) and give what you can. And we interviewed Dr. Joe Rigney about his latest book THE SIN OF EMPATHY. Watch this week's episode to find out just how destructive it is to “help” someone without tethering yourself to a biblical rationale. And Abuela Smollett - how one enterprising Grandmother used liberal hysteria over immigration raids to fraudulently raise a nice sum of money. We bring you every hilarious detail on how the great escape led to the great capture.And a feature I have been noticing recently - how the leftist media have been using problem/advice pages to push a leftist agenda. They never sleep and neither should we. Watch how Dear Abby's Irish equivalent just becomes Dear Liberal.And we had an enormous response to last week's show which featured the Federal Trade Commission workshop on the evils and illegality of the Transgender movement. We read you some of the best and the worst comments. Was one of them yours?Remember guys we are a 501(c)(3), please go to our website, unreportedstorysociety.com(linked below) and give what you can so that we can keep bringing our show, and special projects to you.

In this heart-forward installment of Dear Alexander, Blue Feather responds to a soul sibling's question: What stories do you remember of your dad, Cardell, and what's helping you now in the midst of grief? What unfolds is part tribute, part time-travel, and full embodiment of what it means to grieve with depth and beauty. From fire poles and Lake Powell to sleeping beneath stars and sneaking HBO glances in the ‘90s, Alexander shares radiant memories of a father's devotion. We end with a sacred offering: the first time Alexander returned to the piano after Cardell's death, playing a live version of “Waking Blue.” With grief as teacher and Francis Weller's The Wild Edge of Sorrow as guide, this is a field guide to remembering, breaking open, and blooming. This is part of the Dear Alexander series: where spiritual correspondence meets queer Dear Abby, with a piano in the background and a splash of watercolor. Listeners from around the world send in questions, insights, heartbreaks, and aha moments. If you'd like to share what's stirring in you get started now at viralmindfulness.com/dear-alexander. Let's keep asking brave questions and listening for the music that answers back.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhat happens when trust is broken in a relationship? Today we explore the complex boundaries we set and the red flags we sometimes ignore when dealing with those closest to us.The show kicks off with a look at concerning news stories - from a Canadian police official suggesting traditional values might indicate extremism to the DOJ investigating doctors performing transgender procedures on minors. But the heart of our conversation revolves around three jaw-dropping relationship scenarios straight from Dear Abby's mailbag.First, we meet a woman whose husband of 32 years has been secretly inviting a young female bartender to their home - planning their meetups specifically when his wife would be out of town. The secrecy and text messages between them leave little doubt about inappropriate boundaries being crossed, despite Dear Abby's lukewarm advice about "marriage counseling."Next comes a husband who gave his bankrupt ex-wife a "huge amount of money" without consulting his current wife - then when confronted, offered three choices: be happy about it, accept an equal amount of money for herself, or get a divorce. This ultimatum-style approach to marriage raises serious questions about partnership and financial boundaries.Perhaps most troubling is the oil rig worker who abandoned his wife immediately after her spinal surgery to hang out with friends, despite doctor's orders to monitor her for complications. His dismissive "I can't spend time with my friends?" response when she called in pain speaks volumes about his priorities.These stories prompted our question of the day: What red flags do you notice when meeting someone new that make you reconsider engaging with them? For me, it's inability to maintain eye contact during conversation - what's yours?Share your thoughts on relationship red flags and join me and The Gent this Sunday for Brood Awakening and Sunday Scuttlebutt at 2pm Central!Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Thanks for listening!

Season two of “Preach” has wrapped. Before we pause until fall, please share what moved you this season, what you'd like more or less of, and any ideas for future episodes to shape next season's lineup. In this bonus episode, Ricardo and Maggi Van Dorn – his co-producer on “Preach” and producer of America Media's newest podcast – introduce “The Spiritual Life with Father James Martin, S.J.” They discuss what preachers can gain from the show and share the first episode featuring Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe. Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe is a Dominican friar, former Master of the Dominican Order, and a widely respected author. Pope Francis chose him as retreat leader for the Synod on Synodality. In this episode, he shares insights on Dominican spirituality, friendship with God, and living with cancer. “The Spiritual Life” is hosted by Father James Martin, S.J., a Jesuit priest, bestselling author, editor-at-large at America Media, and founder of Outreach. The show explores how people pray and find God in daily life. Each episode features listener questions answered by Father Martin and his guests in a relatable “Dear Abby of the soul” style. Guests include Stephen Colbert, Whoopi Goldberg, Pete Buttigieg, and Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITWhat happens when you stumble upon your husband in bed with your sister? Would you tell them you saw, or carry that secret for three decades? One Dear Abby letter writer chose silence—and now, after her ex-husband's death, finds herself haunted by her sister's continued admiration for the man who betrayed them both.Today's episode takes a refreshing break from depressing headlines to explore relationship dynamics through the lens of Dear Abby letters. We dive into stories that reveal troubling patterns and red flags: a controlling boyfriend who publicly humiliates his partner by forcing unnecessary apologies to strangers, a husband who refuses household duties despite his wife's demanding career, and a mother whose thoughtful birthday preparations for her 40-year-old daughter are met with shocking ingratitude.These stories spark deeper questions about relationship boundaries, secrets, and family tensions. When is it time to walk away? How do we divide household responsibilities fairly? Should decades-old betrayals be brought to light? Between these thought-provoking scenarios, I share my cake preferences (red velvet, hold the nuts) and invite you to consider yours. What's your favorite celebration cake?

If you're a single physician struggling with dating, you're not alone. The demands of medicine can make finding love feel overwhelming, whether you're hesitant to put yourself out there, dating after divorce, or unsure if a fulfilling relationship is possible. On today's episode, I'm joined once again by relationship and transformation coach Sydney Ashland to dive into the realities of dating as a doctor. Through a Dear Abby-style format, we explore common challenges, including confidence struggles, work-life balance, and the pressure of finding the right partner. In this episode we're talking about: The unique challenges of dating as a busy physician. How to build confidence and step into dating with a positive mindset. Balancing work demands with making space for relationships. Addressing fears, perfectionism, and patterns that may be holding you back. Strategies for dating apps, meeting people organically, and expanding your social circle. Navigating the pressures of wanting children and making relationship decisions on a timeline.
