Don’t Listen to Us is an advice show for advice-skeptics and wisdom-lovers, hosted by Mandy Patinkin, Kathryn Grody, and their son Gideon. Legendary actor Mandy (The Princess Bride, Homeland, Criminal Minds) is the consummate entertainer who shoots from the hip, stage actress Kathryn is the thoughtful connector who sees all the nuance, and Gideon is the brave soul keeping them on track (or at least trying). Together, Mandy and Kathryn have 40+ years of marriage, 140+ years of life experience, and a series of viral social media posts where Gideon interviews them and watches both chaos and wisdom ensue.

They don’t always agree on what advice to give—in fact, they rarely do. But they draw from their highs and lows as artists, parents, lovers, and humans, to give their unique take on real dilemmas submitted by you -- the listeners. Hang out with this family and you’ll walk away with insights you didn’t expect, stories you’ll want to repeat, and comfort knowing that you’re not alone in figuring out how to survive this fakakta world.

W. Kamau Bell on How To Parent In Uncertain Times

Mandy, Kathryn, and Gideon are off this week, but they didn’t want to leave you without something special in your feed. So we’re sharing another Lemonada show that we think you’re really going to love.

Happier with Gretchen Rubin is hosted by the #1 bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before, and it gets personal in the best way. Gretchen shares practical, totally manageable advice about building better habits and creating more happiness in your everyday life. It’s thoughtful, smart, and actually doable.

In the episode you’re about to hear, Gretchen talks about why it can be powerful to “go for the no” instead of avoiding rejection and failure. She also shares a few great same-day book recommendations and a simple hack to make your email way more efficient.
