    Thank you
    Rosie, you have always been my favorite artist, comedian, actor and one of the kindest humans. I always enjoy everything you do and love hearing about your children and the love you have for them. I’m so happy to listen to you weekly, it’s refreshing and fun. You have taught me so much about being human. Thank you for doing this podcast and as always for being YOU! I will listen and watch anything you put out here for all of us. Thank you for everything you are doing and will do in the future.

    Thanks, Rosie, for decades of kindness in your work--our kids (now adults and out n proud gay) enjoyed your show--your Christmas albums were soundtracks on our trips to get our tree at an abbey--you embody greatness--people like you serve as beautiful counters to the venom that is spoken about LGBTQIA--please come back to the podcast world asap (will be on the lookout)--bless you!! ❤️

    I Love Rosie
    And now am heartbroken this is over. Great interviews and so much compassion. This was like a weekly tea party with a friend. You will be missed ❤️
  • Ms.Rae
    So thankful for Rosie!
    Love every interview and Rosie letting us into her life! She might not like the podcast advertisements that mention firearms and hunting? Seems off-brand for Rosie!

    I love listening to a Rosie and her guests! It like the Rosie show with no band and I’ll take it. I’ve always loved Rosie’s energy and honesty, and how much she cares about people.

  • Listening in NH
    Humanist
    I listened to this episode more than once. The key ingredient here is elitism. What was learned by the powerful father is a license to judge, condemn and dismiss certain groups of humans. I heard elements of that posturing in your guest. Like you Rosie I am a humanist and like you -LOVE all of the "innocents". Thank you for the clarity, deep emotion you brought to this discussion.

    Allison Josephs
    M Rosenblum 11/27/23 I have been listening to your podcast today with Allison Josephs. So you know where I am coming from I was born in The Bronx, Jewish and Gay. I grew up in the southern USA, I have been living in Mexico for almost 20 years, I listen to many podcasts in my car. I was raised with very little religion but had my Bar Mitzvah in Brooklyn. I agree with you 100% on the plight of the Palestinian people in Gaza, all lives have value. I believe Israel and the settlements are wrong. I believe all these Orthodox Jews should have stayed in Williamsburg Brooklyn. If my family had land that was taken and given to someone else , I would be furious. This is never addressed. The word antisemite, antisemitism, are all wrong, these words apply to groups of people from a certain part of the world, whether they be Jews, Muslim, or Christian , they can all be semites. I believe you can be anti Jew, or anti Israel, and that is the description that should be used, not antisemetic. My final point is Israel and its policies are guilty, and I believe they are responsible for much of the problem. When you get down to it religion is the problem. A country that is built on a religion should never be called a democracy.

    Alison Josephs episode
    Rosie you are very brave very strong and very RIGHT in this episode. She states a very very false equivalency.
  • sydwms
    Allison Josephs ep || Ricki Lake ep
    The Allison Joseph ep was the hardest conversation to listen to. I respect the work Allison is doing. It is stunning to know she believes Palestinians voluntarily voted hamas as their government with everything she has studied she surely has to have knowledge that is a complete authoritarian govt as is Israel. My heart breaks over this conversation and i hope as her father learned, Allison will know one day she is participating in the observation of two governments (not two peoples) slaughtering their people for power. || One of my favorite ever of any podcast 💙🤎💚💛❤️
  • Lizbethboo21
    Very compelling
    I was thoroughly impressed with the discussion this week on the Middle East crisis. I appreciated the views on both sides

    As a millennial who grew up watching Rosie on daytime TV and movies, I am so happy to listen to her interview who she desires. I have followed her lustrous career. Thank you for giving us more of you and the people you know. Forever a stan.

    Thank you Rosie for your willingness to be heard and debate! I believe you are in the search of knowledge in these hard times. You are respectful. I don’t know the reaction you will get from you Alison Johnson interview, but I thought your earnest and willingness to learn truth shined through.
  • journoMomx4
    Wonderful pod
    I love you Rosie. I love your pod. Finding nonfamous interesting people is so refreshing. Allison is 100% right abt Hammas. You like many well meaning Americans don’t realize what’s going on. You really don’t get it. It’s unfortunate that you are calling this a genocide on Israel’s part. Thank you Allison for explaining what the world & Rosie don’t see. Israel is not an apartheid country but you gotta get educated.
  • VJFNotAvailable
    Great discussion with Allison Josephs
    Rosie and Allison Josephs demonstrated how to have a difficult conversation with respect. Both were well-informed, neither backed down from their perspectives, they disagreed but were never unkind. Neither talked over the other or misrepresented the other’s views. Thanks for this, it was needed.

    Like Being in the Room
    I very much appreciate the style of this podcast. She gives some background on her guests but lets the audience decide for themselves how and what to take from the conversation. She is a great listener and interviewer. The question segment at the end is interesting because she has no idea what the person will say. The opposite of a “gotcha” question. She puts her thoughts and opinions out in the open. Not everyone can do it without coming off as having an agenda. Glad she is talking to people from all walks of life.

    5 stars Phenomenal
    I was 10 years old when I first saw a league of their own and I was in love. I was a huge fan of Madonna as a gay child and seeing the funny lady I saw on star search being her best friend made me ecstatic. I used to have my dad call the video store each week to see when a league of their own was coming out on vhs. It took a really long time. And when it did, I watched it daily. I have adored you Rosie ever since. I have had the honor to see you at a kathy griffin show and your second time on the view live in the audience. I am so thankful for this podcast. I don’t use the word love to many people I don’t know, but you have been a part of my life so long I do love you. Much appreciation sent from Detroit.

    Such Class and Pureness
    Absolutely love this podcast. Rosie has always conducted the best interviews, she’s warm, welcoming, and lets the guests shine. I miss her presence on TV, but the podcast world has gained a great show. Rosie, thank you for being a loving parent, graceful celebrity, and for always being “out” (even when it wasn’t official, but “we” all knew”! Would love an episode with k.d. lang and Melissa Etheridge, hearing about the early days in gay Hollywood. Thanks again Rosie!

    Rosie & every interview
    I have missed you on TV It’s great to listen to you, I wish it was longer. Love the questions at the end too! I’m so glad you survived your heart attack Would love you to interview Jackie & walk down memory lane thru your friendship
  • Vineyard917
    I'm really into it
    This is really the first podcast I've followed consistently. Really into it. I feel like I've already learned a lot about some really important topics. The Busch interview was lovely but the Reality Winner interview was fascinating and horrifying and thought-provoking. I'm really enjoying it. Good job.
  • Ryandani23
    Thank you Rosie!
    Always enjoyed listening and watching you! I’m also a Long Island girl (Smithtown) and now live in Jersey. When my daughter was young and she would watch your show with me she wanted the Rosie doll. She loved it! Wish I still had it! Anyway congrats on the podcast and looking forward to your upcoming shows

    Enjoyable and always and interesting topic. The show is the best personal conversation on podcasts. Over way too soon but there’s always next weeks’s episode! I adore how Rosie sprinkles her personal life, health struggles of herself and Dakota & how she goes abt her life as a Mom in Hollywood who just happens to be family’s. Adore Rosie!! She’s a friend in my head, wish I could meet her again! ❤️

  • ChezBlanc
    So happy for the Return of Rosie
    Onward reminds us all of what an incredible interviewer and host that Rosie is that we have sorely missed. I love the variety of guests and how I am always left pondering the interview and information that I’ve just listened to. Being memorable and thought provoking in today’s media isn’t easy…Onward nails it.

    Lyle episode
    Thank you for this episode. I have followed this story since the beginning. I watched the whole first trial and ALWAYS believed them!! I can’t explain how amazing it feels to hear what an incredible human Lyle is and all the amazing things he has accomplished!! Loved every minute of this. Can’t wait to hear more. And will you ever have Eric on? Love you Rosie!! ❤️
  • brettno1
    Love this podcast
    Rosie has great guests and knows the right questions to ask them. My only complaint is that the episodes don’t last long enough, they could easily be hour and a half to 2 hour interviews and still be very entertaining.
  • BachRiley

  • Loganfool
    So good to hear you again
    I’ve always liked you. You’re honest, you’re smart, and fun to listen to. I didn’t know you had a podcast until I heard about it on another podcast and I immediately signed on. We need more people like you!
