    Love the Content
    I’ve listened to my 9th podcast on this channel today and I really enjoy hearing the different perspectives. Not a fan of the young lady but I’ll keep listening. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • THElisafer
    A solid podcast to listen to.
    I admit it, I only found this podcast when the Fake Lively thing began. I don’t know who Justin was and had to begin to seek out info. Knowing what I have heard about Lively in Gossio Girl for yearsd, I did not rush to judgment and happily I believe that was the right decision. I have followed up with social media info but more so I scoured the website with the pleadings. No Doubt - #TeamJustin all the way. And I am a 56 year old female. And now can I say how happy I am to have found this peach of a man through his work! Kind, positive energy, compassionate… I pray for Justin’s success in this inane legal hit job and in his future endeavors. And thanks for the podcast. It is nice to know that good guys still exist. Keep the positive going- the world needs it. ❤️

    New follower to show support for Justin. Speak truth to power! Men definitely can be bullied and steamrolled. We all need to be discerning. Justin has proven who he is and what morals he believes in.

    Podcast
    This is in response to other reviews…. Listen to the High & Low podcast for their deep dive on this case. It is extremely fair and neutral.

    ❤️❤️❤️
    Thank you for the good you put into the world.
  • adrizzlin
    Why am I not surprised?
    I regret that I recommended this podcast. Men can absolutely be feminists. But these men are not that. It’s disappointing and shameful. Was never a Blake lively fan honestly was more neutral and just didn’t care about her. But to hear the screenshots and how misogynistic these men are behind the scenes. Baldoni and Heath were wearing a mask and this podcast was their facade to show “action” behind their words. If this is allyship, then I want off their boat just like Liz Plank. Her departure speaks volumes. Always believe survivors. Always. I believe Blake Lively just like I believed Amber Heard. And Christine Blasey Ford.

    Great podcast
    A great listen!
  • KCantrell9
    Thank you Justin
    I read your book 2 years ago and have looked forward to all of your films as they all really evoke such feelings making us all humans. I’m so sorry your family and team have all been through all that you’ve been through recently. Take it little by little and day by day.

    Wolves in Sheep’s clothing
    Disgusting. I am convinced we cannot trust men unless we know them and can personally vouch for their character. We gotta watch out for the ones who like to talk about being allies. In my experience they’re almost always wolves in sheep’s clothing.

  • Fist up high
    The shame is on you
    The damage of dressing up like a feminist and activist to then conduct harm is like scorching a field of beautiful wild flowers that were on their way to touch the sky. There’s plenty of places to learn about being “man enough” and this is not one.
  • powderboyee
    Creepy
    NYT’s reporting coinciding with Blake, Steph Jones lawsuits, the author/entire cast siding w/Blake and Liz quitting reveals these 2 bro imposters deserve what’s looming. Who has the audacity to create this farcical podcast?
  • Audiomaven1
    All episodes
    What a con. I have learned a valuable lesson. NEVER believe a man who centers himSELF in feminism. Glad Liz left. You never deserved her. #believewomen #hypocritesgonnahypocrite
  • Atay21
    Bummed
    Bummed by the latest news. The fact that both Baldoni and Heath were involved is disturbing. Sharing personal and intimate photos of their wives is also super gross. Seems like they have their own demons they’re facing and need to get their own help. Liz— if you start a solo pod I’m here for it!
  • FallonGShennanighan
    PREDATORS MASKING AS ALLIES
    Absolutely the WORST kind of predators... masking as feminists to commodify the marginalization of women. DISGUSTING.
  • TryRyd
    Shame. Shame. Shame.
    So glad Liz quit. These men are hypocrites and think of women as meat. They lie and gaslight women. Bro code is just a way to keep women & girls from reporting abusive men. Every episode, every seemingly empathetic comment made by the male hosts/film set aggressors on this show is suspect. I can’t believe a word they say. I believe the women.
  • StarrySkies45
    it’s all a facade
    I applaud Liz Plank for stepping away from this podcast amid the sexual harassment and smear campaign allegations by Blake Lively against Justin Baldoni and Jamey Heath. I recommend everyone read the NYT article by Megan Twohey, the investigating reporter that broke the Harvey Weinstein story. Baldoni and Heath are two disgusting men pretending to care about women domestic abuse survivors while they behave in ways that are toxic and abusive towards Lively and women. GROSS!

    Telling
    What an angle: trying to trick the world that he is a feminist with this podcast. Just like FLA Twigs describes abusers covering for their abuse with huge donations to charity, or acting perfect in public and letting their true selves out behind closed doors. This guy is classic narcissist, using his wife, sisters, daughters as collateral.
  • Roxy0218
    So disappointed
    I love this podcast but in light of the recent news I am so disappointed because now it seems like this podcast was all an act. No realness to it. It was all performative. I won’t be listening anymore.
  • kikicakes
    Shame on Justin Baldini
    Clearly Justin Baldini isn’t MAN enough. Orchestrating a full on smear campaign to destroy his co stars career who he sexually harassed. The fact that this is his podcast is a JOKE.
  • MarcAlexander7
    Hiatus due to Blake-Baldoni suit?
    While I understand that this podcast takes unannounced hiatuses, these reports of the lawsuit are disturbing. Can we get an episode, even if a quickie, addressing what’s going on and, if true, owning up to what has happened?
  • egwugwu
    Blake Lively—Shame on you
    Wow. Just read the NYTimes article on what Heath and Baldoni did to Blake Lively during the filming of ‘It Ends With Us.’ You should read it, Liz, before you do another episode with these creeps. I’d never listen to this show based on that. I encourage everyone who happens up this review to read it in the 12/21/24 edition: ‘We Can Bury Anyone’: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine. Baldoni, Heath, and Wayfarer ( to say nothing of Melissa Nathan, Johnny Depp, and a parade of other reprobates) are the last people to be talking about how to be ‘Man Enough.’
  • CrisanM
    Great show
    The only one I couldn’t listen to was the political one in August. This is my one outlet from the outside politics and to hear it on a podcast from you guys was disappointing. I just want to listen to the podcast to earn his to grow as a person and how I can help others not listen to politics.
  • 002772158
    It’s good but could be better
    A good podcast overall. However, from my perspective, it would be more powerful without Liz or maybe a different woman. She seems too hyper-focused on problems instead of solutions. She talks about racism as if she knew better than Jamey and it annoys me when she corrects him as if she’s the one going through it. I feel she related too many things to sexism too. As a minority and a woman, I don’t get her and I feel she is not as helpful as she thinks. I feel she divides us by sex and race too often. I feel she overcorrects most of the time and generalizes too much.
  • The A Corner
    My mind was blown
    I started listening to this podcast earlier this year, and I started from the beginning. Dr. Joy Degruy’s episode stood out to me because I just recently got my provisional license as a therapist. Yesterday, I had the honor to hear her speak and actually meet her. I cried. This podcast has been incredibly eye-opening regarding my feelings on masculinity, feminists and the struggle of men. I wish I could get everyone around me to listen to these insightful and meaningful conversations. To the wonderful hosts- THANK YOU!
  • Cooooooooioool
    Drake Bell Ep
    Love Justin Baldoni. I’ve been a fan of him and his work for many years, so my rating and constructive feedback is in no way directed at him. Listening to the Drake Bell episode now and whoever is doing most of the talking, I don’t know his name, but it’s the male who isn’t Justin, is interjecting way too much as an interviewer and not just letting Drake talk and respond to his questions. Interviewer will ask a question and then as soon as Drake begins to answer, the dude is jumping in with more questions or comments to drive the narrative of Drake’s answer. It’s frustrating to listen to as a listener.
  • coconutxskins
    Mixed Feelings
    Just listened to the podcast episode with Drake Bell. I have listened to this podcast a few times before and really enjoyed the conversation. But for this particular episode I was disappointed because it very much felt like Justin - in particular- was very preachy. There was a lot of language around what Drake “should” do and steps he should take. And I felt like it was unsolicited, soapbox-y, and took away from the wisdom and advice that Drake could have imparted and left listeners with.
  • porshiacarter
    Changed my perspective
    How I landed on the Man Enough Podcast was because I was ( and am) a massive Andy Grammer fan! Listed on of his appearances then let the next episode in the playlist play and just didn’t stop listening for an entire work day. Liz’s perspective aligns so much with what I feel in my soul. I am often saying “amen” out loud as if I am listening to gospel preachings, because I pretty much am! Jamie’s honesty and accountability of who he was and is, has taught me to be less judgmental and that change can happen at any age. And pretty boy Justin- was just the guy from Jane the virgin in my head until I became very hooked into this podcast. I checked my pre-conceived judgement at the door and admire his thoughts, realness, and ability to be honest and embrace being a human with emotions. The conversations are important! I share this with anyone and everyone I can. I look forward to new episode drops. And will forever and always be a Liz Plank STAN!
  • jkim1172
    Great podcast to learn and reflect with to be a better human being
    I first found the podcast after coming across Justin’s Ted talk, and I am so so glad I found this gem. Liz, Jamey and Justin has the most insightful, respectful, well-researched, passionate conversation about what being a real human looks like in this world. It truly does an exquisite job of leaving the audience reflect on and reframe some of the deep rooted self-hatred we put on men and women, and allowed me to learn and understand not only myself but truly fellow human beings. The podcast really is for everyone, I tell all my friends about it!!!
  • Mommyspecs
    Very Hollywood
    Unstructured and meandering conversations. Does not feel very organized. Rather, Hollywood types discuss what they like to talk about —- not very relatable content for your average American
  • Andrew CDZ
    Evolving from Reconfirming Bias
    Show evolves from its beginning divisive content from interviewing elitist celebrities. Needs more interviews from conflicting spaces. Loved the episode with the former skinhead and with people like Matthew McConaughey and Russell Dickerson.
  • TDLtheActivst
    Thankful for this space
    I love love love the conversations you all have. The clarity, the honesty, the challenge, the growth the love. I want to mirror the compassion and respect in my relationships with as much patience as you all. Thank you for being 100% you and helping us all grow in a world that so desperately needs it.
  • kpoyzer
    Love this Pod!
    The beginning episodes are truly phenomenal. One of those podcasts where I really recommend you start from the beginning. The way Jamey recently shut Liz down on the “blind” topic was infuriating- would love for him to revisit that and actually listen.
  • AnSuAmPeDe
    Love the Show, but…
    I love the show! I am having trouble, though, with the whole episode called “Why Are You still Single?” Come on now! Why should Liz NOT be single? What are we saying? That this is an expectation? Why?
  • craigomyego
    New Beginning
    When I first was shown this show, I thought it was kind of a joke. I have lived my life in pride and basically a shadow. I never realized all the small parts of me and big parts of me I was hiding. I’ve been listening to this show for a long time now, and have learned so much about who I am and who I want to be. I love this show, it’s not a joke. This show has changed my life. It’s given me the confidence to go to therapy, it’s helped me resolve some little T trauma that I didn’t know I had, and it’s helped me tackle other traumas that I knew I had but swept under the rug. I will forever recommend this show to people. Thank you so much for all the help you’ve given me. I’m glad the gangs back together, and I’m excited to keep learning along my journey with you all. Thanks, Craig
  • TKvaca
    Amazing podcast most of the time
    I am so very thankful for this podcast. It’s aim to help men become fully human is spot on and I’ve learned so much from many of the guests on this show and from its hosts as well. I truly think this works best when Justin, Liz and Jamie are in it together. Most episodes are great…latest one with Hank Azaria for example…and some can be frustrating. The Barbie episode was rough…I thought Liz was spot on in her perspective of the movie and it was hard listening to Jamie as I felt like he was completely missing the point of the entire film and just couldn’t budge in his opinions. That said I truly appreciate Jamie, Liz and Justin for all of the time and energy they devote to this podcast. Most of the guests bring a ton of heart and humanity and share tons of valuable information and insight. As others have said I’d listen from the beginning.
  • Alex_A1p
    Monogamous relationships are not the only valuable ones
    I think it’s about time to recognize and value other types of relationships besides monogamous relationships. Life is complicated and everyone has different experiences, just one framework of relationship is not enough to capture all beautiful relationship experiences people can have. Open and other types of relationships are as valuable as monogamous. Liz, I love your book! Very well researched and facts stated book I have read on the subject.
  • Jackiep24812
    Lots of love, and a little criticism.
    I love this podcast very much! So many episodes have been so informative and helped me learn from voices I wouldn’t hear if I didn’t listen to this. I would love to hear from more black women as guests! I specifically love Liz and appreciate how she delves into the current chatter of the times, and the nuances of all of it, and what it says about all of us. I appreciate Jamie’s perspective, but his commentary (sometimes) I find to be limiting. I think sometimes he may not REALLY be listening enough to truly understand what Liz is saying, and when Justin isn’t there for extra support, this can be frustrating. He gets caught up in language and creating a more digestible narrative for him or men like him, when I think it’s just important to maybe step back and let Liz speak, bc clearly she understands complexities of things I don’t think Jamie always does. I don’t know how Liz holds so much space for him to correct and minimize her -almost always- very valid and correct view points. No hate to Jamie at all just something I’ve noticed throughout that is limiting the depth of conversation. I’ve had many relationships with men where I took their kind words for face value, while the entirety of what they were actually saying was limiting and harmful to my experience. It’s something I hope we as an audience can spare Liz from, even though Jamie has all the best of intentions. I don’t expect him to always agree nor do I want everyone to, but I think Jamie needs to meet Liz half way. I say this with love and admiration to everyone involved in creating this podcast that the world desperately needs at the moment. Thank you.
  • Autumnflanny1!
    Individuals
    The conversations between these individuals are so deeply valuable. Listening has given me more confidence while having important controversial discussions. It warms my heart to see men and women coming together to make change. I have learned so much listening to the man enough podcast. Thank you!
  • Quiet rage
    Good most of the time
    The conversations are super important and I can appreciate that they’re trying to learn, but the way Jamey is more concerned about correcting how, Liz especially, says something instead allowing her to say her truth makes it tough to listen. I don’t where she finds the patience because if someone kept trying to tell me how I should phrase my lived experience so it’s more palatable, I would have needed several breaks in recording. Luckily, when there are guests and Justin is there it’s not so bad. Start from the beginning.

    Changed my relationship
    Just wanted to share, I’m 33 F with a 35 M partner. We have over 11 years together and until I listened to this podcast, I didn’t know how to see him. It has made a profound difference in how I filter things he says and trying to understand and love him. I am grateful for all of the guests and insights. Truly changed my relationship for the better. Thank you!
  • aranbronchitis
    Much needed for any young man or person
    Truly amazing podcast. Obviously there are ample other identities (race, gender, etc) that could be represented, but the hosts and guests are diverse enough to provide an array of viewpoints and insight that always leave me with something to think about. They're able to discuss masculinity as it relates to the previously mentioned demographics, and do so without crossing into "men's rights" territory. Great variety of guests as well, and it's neat to hear vulnerable conversations from some of the household names.
