Couples Therapy

Comedian Naomi Ekperigin and her husband Andy Beckerman turned their real relationship into a weekly podcast that has been running strong since 2018, racking up over 400 episodes and a 4.8-star rating from nearly 3,000 reviewers. The format is simple but effective: they invite a celebrity guest -- usually an actor, comedian, or writer -- and spend about 90 minutes talking through that person's love life, past and present. Recent guests have included Zazie Beetz, Katy O'Brian, and Aaron Chen. What makes this show work is how naturally Naomi and Andy pull stories out of people. They are not therapists handing out clinical advice. They are a married couple who genuinely enjoy hearing how other people handle the messy, awkward, funny parts of being in a relationship. The conversations bounce between laugh-out-loud bits and surprisingly vulnerable moments, often in the same sentence. Naomi's sharp comedic timing plays off Andy's more laid-back, supportive energy in a way that puts guests at ease. Listeners can call in with their own relationship dilemmas at 323-524-7839, and the voicemail questions add a nice variety to each episode. The advice tends to be honest rather than polished -- you get the sense these two would tell you the same thing over dinner that they say on air. If you and your partner want a podcast that treats love as something worth laughing about as much as analyzing, this one nails the balance.
