    Relatable content
    I’m single and 25 and STILL love this podcast!! Those saying it’s changed don’t understand that people evolve and develop over time and so do their topics! Loyal listener and love hearing about the momma content for when it’s my time (years from now)
  • Steve Drives to Burgundy
    Fantastic Interviewer
    Lindsay is an amazing interviewer - thanks to her a 3 hour and 45 minute drive zipped by in no time. My wife and I love listening to all of these episodes!
  • Plato Party
    Giving animal abusers a platform
    Used to love the pod (and still do except for below) and Lindsey until the episode when she featured abhorrent human being lily walla, who no one had never heard of before, but who I learned on the pod is a PROID animal abuser and horrible parent who put her poor baby dog down after she failed to train and supervise him appropriately (who leaves their dog alone with their child, even the gentlest dog?! What is wrong with you?!) then stated “dogs are just animals, we’ll definitely get another one day”. Just absolute trash. Can no longer support.

    Gone downhill
    The popularity of this pod has come to an end. Lindsey is so out of touch with reality. She’s in her mom bubble and her “advice” is completely irrelevant. Please don’t listen to anything she offers- she has zero credentials/ qualifications to be giving any sort of advice. If you want help with dating or relationships, find a good therapist that you could benefit from. She labels herself as a dating expert while living off of a trust fund trying to upkeep her IG image.

    Show has gone downhill
    This has become almost impossible to listen to. I used to enjoy it. The host lacks self-awareness to an extreme degree and shared her opinions as if they are facts. She should do some actual research before commenting on things instead of just spewing her opinions. She lacks expertise and credibility- unclear why she has a platform. The most recent episode talking about how you obviously want to be the better parent compared to your husband was honestly concerning - who sees that as a competition? If you are lucky to have a spouse who is a great parent, isn’t that a wonderful thing for your family? She seems very self-centered, immature, and spoiled. Either get some more people with actual expertise to interview, do more preparation before your episodes, or retire this show!

    Not as much abt dating :(
    I wish this were more relevant to dating still. It has definitely changed as the host has changed I wish she’d stick to topics from prior as that’s who she targets?? Maybe not and it’s turning more into the “we met at baby”. Make a choice and advertise as such.

    Dude who loves it
    I’m a guy and I usually listen to business podcasts but I got into we met at acme from a girl at work and I’m hooooked
  • Jtwppp
    Love the solos
    I love hearing from Lindsey! That’s why I started this podcast in the first place and I want more solos and just more episodes in general. It’s the only podcast I consistently listen to
  • Rosemary237
    Not a dating podcast anymore
    I used to love this podcast for all the dating content, but it seems like all the episodes are about kids and being a mom now. I get some people may like that, but Lindsay said the podcast wasn’t going to turn into that yet it has.
  • ClairePDX12
    More mom content please
    I’m excited to hear more mom content from Lindsay and how she’s navigating this big transition. Some of the dating advice feels a little played out while her heart feels much more in talking about this new and complex experience of motherhood. Excited for Momacme come.
  • Applepods23566
    Yikes
    Lindsay is severely lacking in the intelligence department but thinks she’s smart, which is a dangerous combination. The vast majority of her dating advice is terrible- it’s not backed up by any relationship research and is frankly quite toxic for women. Everything is based off her one and only dating experiences and she is incapable of understanding that nuance exists. She is truly vacuous and cringeworthy to listen to.

    5-stars!
    This review is for Zachary and Zachary only 😘. More mama content please!
  • Shinigstar9
    The best!
    Lindsey is the big sister I never had 🫶🏼. Always the best advice, delivered honestly and hilariously, and in such a relatable way! *Supporting Zachary too* 😏😘
  • cookiequeen_101
    Unintelligent and not nuanced
    Used to love this pod but I’m very over Lindsey’s interviewing style - she follows a list of questions and always relates it back to her rigid list of rules. I would love to hear more about the guests she has on their podcasts and their expertise or work, instead of “so what do you think of having sex on the third date” or “should you say thank you after a date”. It’s dumb and repetitive, we’ve heard your rules a million times. I do like hearing her personal stories bc she’s very vulnerable and shares a lot about her life and growth. Her life updates at the beginning of the pod are wayyy more interesting than the cookie cutter interviews
  • Lidsuan
    This podcast is amazing
    I am shocked there are any negative reviews! This podcast has been consistently great since 2017 and I met my husband because of her advice!
  • Satisifed Bride to be
    A piece of advice
    Please take this host’s dating advice with a grain of salt. As a therapist listening to this podcast for entertainment purposes, I find myself concerned for the type of advice given here at times. This type of content can be what creates insecurities and rumination in relationships that will eventually lead to other conflicts.

    Good guests!
    Good guests and fun content- an easy listen!

    platforming a known stalker and abuser
    long time listener and lover of the pod. used the rules to snatch my now husband. I'm really disappointed she gave a platform to colton after what he did to his ex.
  • Amy Ammen
    Love “We met at birth”
    Don’t have a maternal bone in my body. I’m 59 and loved Linsey sharing! Aloha, Amy

    Loved once but unbearable lately
    I came across the podcast a few years ago and used to love listening to it but lately, it’s been brutal. I try so hard to listen every week but for instance, I could only get past the first ten minutes today before stopping because it was that cringeworthy. - Her interviewing style has become very rigid. Lindsey tries to a stick to a specific list of questions instead of having an actual conversation with her guest. Her guests bring interesting perspectives sometimes and she lets opportunities for thoughtful back and forth go to waste. - Unless you disagree with her. Then it’s her way and you are in the wrong. - Lately it’s been all about me, me and me. In every single interview, she relates it back to herself or tells an unnecessary story wasting valuable time with the guest. We don’t need to hear your answers to every single question - that’s what solos are for. - Her advice seems increasingly catered to college kids which may be her audience predominantly.

    Lindsey, congrats on the birth

    👏🏼
    Lindsey! I started listening to your podcast earlier this year. I started with the most current and just now finished your first episode. I always put your podcast on when I’m getting ready, cooking, or just feel like I need comfort. You have come a long way since the beginning. You always say you love a good debate and I have to say there are some episodes I skipped. But, I never lost interest in your podcast. You are killing it! I look forward to having Sundays to listen to the podcast!!!

    My wife and I love the pod
    My wife and I love to take trips together today she looked at me and said I still like we met at acme the most :) five stars

    A weekly staple
    Always look forward to Lindsey’s podcasts each week! She speaks on such a wide variety of topics and brings on diverse guests each week. Her interviews and commentary are so genuine and insightful. Recommend for anyone looking to improve themselves and grow their relationships!

    Love this podcast + Lindsey
    I always look forward to this podcast and wemetatacme instagram posts/stories. Lindsey shares so many valuable insights and has helped me feel so much less alone on so many occasions.

    Islamophobia, racism - no POC on this podcast
    I will not listen to this podcast again after Lindsey shared horrific posts inciting Islamophobia and anti-Arab sentiments. There’s a genocide happening and she’s agreeing with what’s happening. Disgusting. Also I’m just noticing she has literally no non white people on here, which is interesting…
  • nicoletolliver
    She will do any AD
    I cannot believe there was an ad this week on natural diamonds being better economically and environmentally than lab diamonds. This is the most out of touch ad I have ever heard. Like do your own research before just accepting money. You sound dumb. To state that mined diamonds help impoverished communities it actually disgusting. It promotes child labor and it’s very dangerous. Another out of touch influencer.

    I love Lindsey I’ve been listening to her since college. She asks the best questions and has extremely interesting guests ❤️

    Be careful listening to relationship advice ….
    Be careful listening to relationship advice from unqualified individuals on the internet.

    Look Forward to listening every week
    I look forward to listening to this podcast every Sunday!! I’m obsessed
  • carmax14
    Great weekly listen
    Good perspectives shared and Lindsey is an excellent interviewer. Not every guest is my cup of tea, but that’s how a diversity of guests goes! Recommend for any typical single girl or anyone interested in learning more about relationships.
  • Jamie___lynn__m
    Not good
    I’m not sure what qualifies this girl to give dating advice…she’s like 30, married, sober and pregnant. She’s pretty boujee and out of touch and not relatable. Not a fan.
  • Lovely444!
    Good but a bit close-minded
    I enjoy listening to the episodes and a lot of it has been helpful for my dating journey. However, I think that Lindsey should interview more people who are from outside of NYC, and more LGBTQIA+ folks. A lot of the advice is centered around the experiences of straight Jewish people who grew up in wealthy communities in NYC. While I do believe that everyone has important opinions and thoughts to share, I think that the listeners would benefit from a wider variety of perspectives. The dating and relationship world has a lot of nuance and is not one size fits all. I understand that a lot of the listeners are in NYC, but the advice might be more accessible/relatable to a wider audience if it wasn’t as centered around the dating scene in NY.

    I loved this
    This is a wonderful podcast
  • nm2670
    👎🏻
    This girl loves to talk about herself. Nothing valuable here. Unless you are interested in her personal life with her and her husband. Also not sure why she posts outfits on her stories people aren’t following her for fashion. Very confused who her target audience is supposed to be.
  • EB_91
    lindsey is great - ppl need to chill out
    have been listening for years and love the way the podcast has evolved. to the folks who are saying lindsey is intentionally excluding different perspectives - lindsey is speaking from HER personal experience. if this doesn’t resonate with you don’t listen! no podcast can be everything to every person. lindsey does a great job facilitating interesting conversations and finding great guests.
  • Laura Marilyn
    So incredibly disappointing
    What even is this podcast? Shannon was on so I gave it a try, but the other episodes just focus on a woman’s worth relying solely on whether she’s married to a man. So simple minded and hetero focused it’s obvious she excludes queer women because she doesn’t value them. It’s 2023, go learn about feminism or something. Being married to a man shouldn’t be your personality trait, it’s pathetic 🙄
  • donnaruth789
    A good roadmap
    This has honestly turned into one of my favorite podcasts! I’m honestly baffled by all the negative review because they claim that Lindsey’s rules are too black and white but it seems like it’s them who can’t consider nuance. You should always take advice with a grain of salt and only use what works for you so I don’t really get what the problem is. A lot of women feel lost with modern dating and need a roadmap. This podcast gives you just that! I’ve been really down in the dumps about dating recently and since I’ve provided some much needed structure to my dating life (courtesy of some of the rules) I’ve been enjoying the romance of it a lot more.
  • Jen Baek
    My fave podcast for good reasons!
    I started listening to the pod a few years ago after a bad break up because I wanted to get back into the dating scene. Fast forward to now and I’m living with my bf of 2 years! The pod has grown with me and is still relevant after all these years. For those writing negative reviews, I think you should start your own podcast since you’re so brilliant lol. Calm down and go on a walk or something. Huge fan of We Met At Acme and will be a listener for a while!
  • eycargrace
    Triggering & Lacks Compassion
    There should be a huge warning on this podcast - Lindsay has really antiquated takes, and acts as if she is the ultimate authority on all things relationships just because she’s married. Even goes as far to say “oh we’re special, we’re married” when interviewing a guest on the pod. Makes it seem like all listeners that haven’t put a ring on it arent worthy or are “special” at all - started listening to it based on other relationship podcasts, but ultimately found it made me feel worse about myself every time.
  • bellabops123
    The big sister I always wanted & needed
    Absolutely love Lindsey and the pod. I love how many different and unique perspectives Lindsey brings on to discuss a wide array of topics. She’s so relatable, funny, and honest and really stays true and authentic to her opinions/beliefs when it comes to dating. At the same time, she is very open to new thoughts and topics and not afraid to discuss a topic with an opposing view point. Truly something for everyone and has helped me through all stages of dating. Dating can be overwhelming and I don’t know what I would do with out her advice to navigate it all! Love WeMetAtAcme!!!
  • Nstua001
    So immature and naive
    There are episodes that are better than others but the most recent episode with Kevin was a mess. Lindsay comes off as incredibly immature when it comes to relationships. It’s pretty shocking that she’s married because she isn’t providing solid advice. I would recommend this podcast for someone in their 20s but not anyone in their late 20s and 30s that might be looking for a serious relationship. Just listened to the Jewish Matchmaker episode and she is so incredibly naive and defensive. If someone doesn’t agree with her she always leans on “her experience” with her friends and the fact that she lives in NYC.
  • MarcoBlonde
    Queen Lindsey!
    She is the northern star of dating pods— I love how kind yet assertive she is with allll of her guests. No gotcha moments, rather honest and open conversation where she doesn’t shy away from the tough questions 💖 love this pod and excited to see what’s next
  • rIVER121
    highly recommend
    loving this podcast so much. lindsey is so relatable and discussed such great topics pertaining to dating but also day to day life. obsessed !
  • Shannon7mcnamara
    My favorite for years
    Lindsey has consistently been putting out a great podcast for years now and I love listening. She gives no nonsense advice, has a great sense of humor, and is truly open minded. I love her variety of episodes and always look to her for great advice!
  • RayBron
    To those saying the podcast isn’t relatable
    Or that they feel like an afterthought bc they don’t fall into the demographic, then it sounds like it’s not the right podcast for you. Not everything is for everyone, and that’s ok
  • MadiR97
    like eavesdropping on the popular girls in the locker room
    lindsey is the cool girl you always wanted to be friends with growing up. listening to her perspective on life is fascinating to me (shy nerd). what a blessed life the naturally beautiful live! regardless of relatability, I find this podcast interesting and sincere. she really believes in the rules, and i’m sure for pretty girls, they work! for the rest of us, we met at acme is at least an experiment
  • dkdkdjdjsjwjw
    No diversity
    I’ve been listening to WMAA for years now, since she was a guest on Girls Gotta Eat. It’s been a comfort thing since I was single at the time and badly needed advice on navigating dating. Pros-I like her voice, I find it soothing. Cons-zero diversity. She really only interviews seemingly well-to-do cis hetero white women who mirror her opinions and her views on dating are rooted in the book The Rules. I can see how her advice helps women who lean anxious in early stages of dating as it keeps them guarded, thus reducing chances of getting hurt. At some point though, won’t you get tired of portraying someone you’re not to your partner? Also, some advice such as “just have sex when your partner wants to” with no valid reasoning other than her grandma taught her that, and “the man should love you more” just are not palatable. I’d love to hear more diversity and strongly heated debates of her views, otherwise I don’t know how much longer I can listen.

    Every Sunday Listener!
    Obsessed with this podcast and Lindsey’s perspective on dating. She’s classy and timeless with her dating etiquette and advice, she’s like the big sis I never had when it comes to men and dating advice. Highly recommend to all! 💕
