Great storytelling, perfect pace, funny and smart. I couldn’t stop listening.

I loved listening to this! Found it through Jessica’s podcast

Brave, honest, painful, quirky, hilarious. My own family background is nothing like Nicole’s, yet there was so much I could relate to. Thank you for this gem.

This is such an unreal sequence of events, and Nicole does a fantastic job of telling it in a way that is both heartbreaking and hilarious! I’ve already cried and laughed and I’m only 4 episodes in.

Thank you for sharing. I can’t put into words how much this spoke to me and reminded me of the story I share with my many siblings. Sending you all the love.

I originally heard about this podcast from Jessica Lanyadoo’s show. Wow. It is extremely well-made, demonstrates phenomenal storytelling, and I actually felt moved enough to write this review (I don’t often write reviews!). This is a binge-worthy podcast about a family mystery that unfolds with the help of actual clips from interviews with Nichole’s family members. It makes me feel a little snoopy, and like a fly on the wall…exactly what I love (especially because I can totally relate to family mystery and drama). Thank you, Nichole (and OPB) for this treasure!

I heard about Relative Fiction on Jessica Lanyadoo’s podcast. Wow. Just so, so good. Achingly tender and heartbreaking, while still being sharp, observant, and funny. I loved this so much.

This podcast is so well written and engaging and gentle and human and relatable. I even knew parts of this story from reading the book - but the podcast gives it 17 new dimensions, introduces new characters and makes me care more. Reminds me of my family and my identity struggles even though my life is very different than this. Great for a drive, or a walk or a draw. Love Nicole's voice too.

Discovered Nicole Georges through the description of her pandemic elopement in the New York Times. This seemed so unusual and idyllic to me that I went on to track down her podcast (Sagittarian Matters) and buy and read her books (Fetch and Calling Dr. Laura). I found them all delightful as all contain the same authorial voice and sensibility. I had just finished ready ‘Calling Dr.Laura’ when this podcast came out. What could be better? Please continue this show, Oregon Public Radio, as I am eagerly awaiting the next episode! And for those of you who enjoy this show, consider sampling other varieties of the Nicole Georges oeuvre while awaiting more episodes.

jessica lanyadoo brought me, the charming and poignant storytelling kept me around ... can’t wait for the next episodes!

Nicole is a world-class storyteller and she and her team deliver a gripping memoir full of drama, humor, and surprise twists!

A story very well told. Made my work day go faster 🙂

Thanks Nicole for telling your story. I thought you did a great job of honoring everyone’s perspectives along with your own. What an entertaining bunch of humans, highly recommend

This is everything I want in a podcast: smart, funny, compelling, relatable, full of twists and turns and leaves me with a lot to think about. I read Calling Dr Laura years ago and will begin rereading it this evening. Thanks Nicole, for your vulnerability , honesty, and sharing your story.

I have a druggy love of this podcast. Nicole is a FORCE. Experiencing her stories and art is a pleasure and a privilege.

I loved this podcast so much! A wild and compelling story that is moving and interesting and has a narrative AND has not been shoved into a cutesy overly-neat conclusion or hokey life lesson. I am really blown away by Nicole’s calm honesty and true compassion.

Wow even having read a lot of Nicole’s work this podcast is giving me more to reflect on and dig into my own relationships and feelings about family. I just love Nicole’s work!

Nicole’s story manages to be riveting, relatable, poignant and still funny. I relate to the dysfunctional family drama although my story is not nearly as interesting and contains no Saudi Princes. I look forward to listening to this every week and have gotten my husband hooked as well. Sending much love to Nicole and Ponyo! ❤️

Currently my #1 podcast to weep to. Compelling, thoughtful, and relatable.

I’ve been a fan of Nicole J. Georges for many years and it’s very cool to hear more of the story from her graphic memoir Calling Doctor Laura come to life in this way.

Well-produced and engaging episodes about truth, perception, and all that is not-black-and-white when it comes to family. If interpersonal dynamics interest you, take a listen!

I look forward to each Monday when a new episode comes out. At the end of each one I want more! Nicole has such a good storytelling voice. I am glad she is podcasting her story. I love her Calling Dr. Laura graphic novel!

I am really enjoying this podcast! It’s fascinating and darkly humorous but also resonates somewhat with my life. I can’t wait to hear the entire story - or should I say stories.

What happened to episode 3? It would never play!

This is like the most fascinating episode of This American Life that you've ever heard, but even better. "Relative Fiction" will keep you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommend!

I’ve been hooked since the first episode! So easy to listen to and intriguing as well. I love hearing her reflections on her experiences—and what a story. I don’t usually listen to podcasts, but this one has been a really enjoyable listen. Highly recommend, and I look forward to the next episode!

Please make this into a TV series so I can cry-laugh even more with this comic genius.

As a fellow sag with a chaotic ohioan mom I’m obsessed with Nicole Georges ✨ a great story that I’m excited to revisit in podcast form!

I am grateful to Nicole for sharing this story with us in this new form. Thanks to OPB for producing this. If you enjoy this podcast check out Nicole’s other podcast Sagittarian Matters.

“When someone close to you has hurt you, what do you do with your memories of all the times they showed you love?” Nicole is such an earnest, passionate soul. It’s so special to bear witness to her vulnerability. Thank you.

I’m such a fan of Nicole J Georges! I’m excited to follow along on this fun ride- she’s always been a thoughtful story teller and guide through confounding family experiences 💖✨

I’ve entered Nicole’s life (and boy is it interesting) and now I want to know everything.

This first episode was so great. I’m so excited for you and this story to come out to the world.

Subscribed so fast, I sprained my thumb.
