Couples Therapy

Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman are real-life partners and working comedians who turned their relationship into a weekly podcast. The concept is straightforward: they invite actors, comics, and other creative people on to talk about their romantic histories, current relationships, and the messy realities of partnership, then they answer listener questions about dating and love. The show has a 4.8-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviews and over 400 episodes since launching in 2018, which tells you something about the consistency. Naomi and Andy are self-aware enough to call themselves two unlicensed entertainers offering relationship wisdom, and that honesty about their lack of credentials is part of the appeal. This is not a clinical show. Nobody is going to assign you homework or walk you through attachment theory. Instead, it functions as the kind of conversation about relationships that most people only have with their closest friends, except it is funnier and features guests like comedians and actors sharing their own relationship war stories. The comedy background means the pacing is tight and the banter is genuinely entertaining, but they also get into real emotional territory when listeners write in about infidelity, communication breakdowns, or whether to stay or leave. If you are looking for a lighter entry point into thinking about relationship dynamics, one that makes you laugh while also making you reflect, this fills that spot well.
