If I could give this show a negative number, I would. Horrible

This is insufferable.

It’s spins a narrative that is so off. Disappointed in Debra Messing. The other lady, had no clue who she even was.

A dumpster fire of garbage people and garbage opinions.

I’d rather eat spaghetti from a colostomy bag, than listen to these uneducated, ignorant liberal turds. Revisit 9th grade civics class ladies, you both obviously flunked te first time.

Listened to my first one and now will be going through all of them. Ever think about Selma Blair

Self-centred wealthy women who….

Inspiring! Love this uplifting and inspiring podcast. Well done. Please come back!

who supports ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

I enjoyed every single episode of this season. Debra and Mandana do their research. They are fun, intelligent and ask incredible, thought-provoking questions. Love!

Was interested in listening to Debra, growing up watching her shows. But that misled me to believe she had more love for other humans with a wide variety of views. Unfortunately “Dissenters” actually means “no dissent” at all in this context. She is completely aligned with the Hollywood elite. Also - Hilary Clinton is not a dissenter. Liar? Check. Hateful? Check. Instead, Tulsi Gabbard is coming out with a podcast — so that’s where I’ll be heading for a true dissenter! Dissenting against the machine.

If your opinions align completely with the media, academia, entertainment, and increasingly general corporate interests maybe, just maybe, you aren’t dissidents that are part of “The Resistance”.

I liked Debra Messing from shows so I came across her podcast & listened. Wow. She is a political bigot, her hatred for conservatives is vile. Her extreme liberalism is alarming. If you are: conservative, Christian, honest, and dialed into reality... this podcast will bore you & offend your sensibilities. Very little factual content, basically a couple liberal extremists gossiping. No thanks. There should be a ZERO stars option. They should be removed from Apple podcasts, there’s enough gaslighting in America from the left already.

Hollywood women think they can stand up for and help the rest of society. We don’t need any more podcasts like this 👎🏽

Very different and refreshing pod cast. Listened to Jane Fonda episode first due to my great love and respect for Jane. I so appreciated it . The interview by Debra was excellent so i will continue to listen to this unique show with a list of very interesting and hearty guests. TY

Christian Siriano episode - loved it. He is an incredible human.

Absolutely have LOVED listening to this podcast!!

Aaaaaaaah!!! So good! So healing! Oh this terrible of days, to hear this podcast reminded me that there’s hope in the future. Thank you both so much for telling these stories. Much love!

Now that I’ve found this podcast, I find myself rushing through each episode, seeking solice in the fact that there are many strong, smart women that are looking out for the country. I need this right now.

I love this podcast! Such a great mix of amazing people you have chosen to focus on. I never really knew most of these superstars and all are equally amazing in what they do. Thank you for introducing them to us and highlighting their tremendous contributions to the betterment of our society. Debra and Mandana are a great mix of relax and casual with great professionalism. They do their homework and ask thought-provoking and intelligent questions. The shows have a natural and easy conversation and flow. Great job, ladies! Can’t wait for the next season!

What a wonderful conversation with HC! It was a great breath of fresh air and enlightenment at this difficult time - bravo!!!!!

I heard about your podcast by listening to the Jay sherry podcast. It is so refreshing to hear about people doing real change ! I think I listened to 8 episodes in a row ! Please keep up the good work .

Only needed one episode to know that I love this powerful message they are sharing!!

This podcast has been invaluable to me! From the Jameela Jamil episode (my first in this series) which 100% changed my relationship w/my body, to the RBG special (I sobbed while walking and listening to their raw emotion) to Adam Schiff’s love of Debra, (my name too!!) and so many more incredibly insightful, interesting and fascinating interviews, these 2 BFF’s are so down to earth, brilliant and full of heart. Please don’t stop!! I love what you’re both doing!!! 💙💙

Spend just a wee bit of time sifting thru Messing’s twitter feed or subscribing to her phone messages to see she is a Hollywood sheep herder for the white rich neoliberal elite. She has zero clue of the economic and racial struggles of the working class poor, and tokenizes minorities and women ad nauseam. It appears she receives her marching orders from the very entities that brought us mass incarceration, endless wars, wall st bailouts and main st sell outs, and an on going insurance profiting healthcare system that leaves families bankrupted and destitute. Working brains and thinkers would do better listening to the Hill Rising with Krystal Ball, Democracy Now, Secular Talk, and David Sirota. A brain is a terrible thing to waste.

Will n Grace disgrace meets watching paint dry ..... great podcast if you want to go to sleep quickly !!!

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this podcast is getting me through the mental exhaustion of 2020. They interview so many inspiring people who manage to educate you on important albeit harrowing issues, and yet somehow leave you with the essential hope we all need right now. I felt obligated to share it with everyone I love and the discussions it has encouraged in my own social groups have restored my faith in the power of proper communication within a polarized world. Well done ladies! Thank you for speaking your truths and acknowledging your rightful anger.

Yes! I agree. We need to make voting more sexy. Because it is. I’m so glad I stumbled on this podcast. Your guests are spot-on and simplifying what so many of us find absolutely baffling. Thank you for this!

Just no.

So thankful I found this podcast. The RBG tribute had me in tears. Thank you for this podcast!

Disappointed. When I read the bio I thought that perhaps this would be interesting, inspiring, educational and fresh. It’s very overdone and everything is very one sided. How can you truly learn and grow from dissenters if everything is of the same rhetoric. I would have truly been interested if you had dissenters from each side of the fence so that people could walk away having perhaps learned something or gained a fresh perspective. You will get the same hype from this podcast as you do turning on a news station only with a news station you will have less loud, less fawning and “amazing”.

Listen only is you are a white privileged woman who leans left. All other thoughts and beliefs need not apply. Where are the conservative Trail Blazers? Candace Owens? Only one POV is presented . Typical.

Your RBG episode gave me chills. It was beautiful, powerful, and emotional in all the right ways. Thank you!

are the hosts are often too sappy, fawning over each other and their guests. Not everything is “incredible” or “amazing”

You guys are absolutely amazing! I can’t thank you enough for putting so much love and effort into what you guys are doing here. Albert Einstein said it himself “If you can’t explain something simply, you don’t know it well enough”. You can see and feel how you guys truly educate yourselves so profoundly on these subject you bring to all us listeners giving way to truly feeling a whole new sense of understanding after each episode. I admire you guys deeply. I would love to hear Lizbeth Mateo (a immigration lawyer/ advocate) with an amazing back story I think could enrich all of us on your podcast ^-^. Thank you again and sending so much love and positivity your way 🙏🏻

I listened to Cindy Eckert’s interview today. At first I thought, “this is interesting”. The more I listened, the more I learned and by the end I was thinking, “ this is me”! I didn’t know other women were experiencing what I was! Every episode brings such great information. I love this Podcast! Debra and Mandala are awesome!

This podcast has been such a gift during an otherwise dark time. It’s motivated me in new ways to give back, fight for what’s right and harness my anger and energy for good. Thank you for introducing me to these dissenters and reminding us to always keep fighting for what’s right.

This is hands down one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. It not only inspires but causes you to look inside yourself and lights that fire in you to go out and do more. Make sure you listen to them all - even if it is an episode you wouldn’t think you are particularly interested in, there has not a single episode that I haven’t deeply connected with and learned so much from. Start by listening to just one and I guarantee you will be hooked!!!

Thanks for the hope! These dissenters (and the hosts) give me hope! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🥰

Debra and Mandana- Pure gold! The caliber of guests and level of discussion is delivered with intelligent discussions and humor at the right time. Please go beyond 20 Dissenters! This is what the world (and me) is craving!

This is what so many of us needed!!!! Thank you for introducing us to incredible every day people and shining a light on the beginnings. Please don’t ever stop!

Great conversations and guests—- if you’re driving your kids back to college— taking your daily Covid walk—or making dinner this is the podcast for you!

I’m learning so many new things listening to these two awesome women! Please tell me Mariska will be on this show, that would be so freaking awesome ♥️♥️ I love how excited you both get when talking to someone who is amazing....huge fan of this podcast. I’m a 51 year young lady and soooo happy I found this!

Just finished listening to your episode with the incredible Jamila Jamil and can I just say thank you for crediting your photographers! I’ve never heard any podcast do that and it’s so amazing that you mention the people who help create sometimes the only visual aspect of your show. Thank you wonderful ladies!

Thank you SO much for your interview with Congressman Adam Schiff. It is clear eyed, honest, and gives me the first bit of hope and comfort in a terrifying time for our country.

I’m loving your podcast. Very empowering to see how one person can make a difference.

What’s not to love great conversation ladies. Ms Messing very impressed and you’ve always been an ally.

I’ve only heard one episode & I’m hooked. Absolutely love, love, loved hearing these amazing women speak. It’s so relatable and valuable. Just listen, seriously.

Thank you so much for this podcast. Truly inspiring. ❤️

Can a single episode of a podcast change someone’s life? It sure feels like it is going to change mine. The Glennon Doyle episode really packed a punch, and Jameela Jamil is a treasure. It is my mission to get all my friends to listen to it by the weekend. Love the banter between these enthusiastic, articulate, talented, and motivated women. I want more! In the meantime, I’m off to figure out not what’s wrong with me, but what’s wrong. Love it!
