The Beverly Podcast

THE BEVERLY PODCAST is a satire of every self-improvement podcast you've ever hate-subscribed to! Hosted by Beverly Ginsberg, a self-appointed expert in all areas. (Except like, how to turn her phone flashlight off or global geopolitics and stuff.) A lifelong New Englander newly transplanted to California, Bev aims to be the next Mel Robbins--if Mel Robbins was your mother's most unhinged friend. More laugh-out-loud than actually life-improving, The Beverly Podcast covers weekly topics ranging from "aging gracefully" to "serial killers" as well as Bev's wildly active love life at age 75, the ongoing chaos of parenting her adult twin daughters Lainie and Rachelle (both 39, both single, both semi-functional), and everything in between. Mostly Bev holds court solo, spreading her wisdom cream cheese on her bagel of an audience, but occasionally she invites special guests to join her in deep diving into things like mediumship or pronouns. The show is pure, nutty chaos and you might even learn something! If you're into Jewish joy, Queer Pride, the self-care industry complex, overbearing mothers, true crime, antidepressants, multi-level marketing and/or abortions, this show is for YOU!

Wellness + Surprises!
It's the Season One finale, and Beverly promised a big, splashy send-off with music, dancing, and guest Elisabeth Finch. But what are you getting instead?: Beverly, Dana, Brett, and a series of surprises so bad that Beverly had to do box breathing in the middle of recording. One daughter has a big surprise, Bev's boyfriend Marshall has an even bigger surprise and Bev gets a letter revealing a BIGGEST surprise of them all. The surprise? Let's just say it's "a'ight". Rate and review so Beverly can afford a new camera! Subscribe to THE BEVERLY PODCAST to unlock ad-free listening and exclusive bonus content at thebeverlypodcast.com

Wellness + Karens!
Episode 20 is here, and Beverly is feeling patriotic, itchy, and grateful (in that order!). After a spirited defense of July 4th hot dogs, Beverly explains how a road trip, a deaf gynecologist, and a very bad yeast infection led to her accidentally naming a certain infamous tragic icon. (It's not what you think, it's worse.) Then, Beverly welcomes an actual Karen! Screenwriter Karen Morse joins the yodcast to discuss the emotional toll of being named Karen in 2026 and what it would take to rebrand the name entirely. Spoiler: Beverly has a plan. Bonus: The machinery breaks down three times. Beverly handles it with grace, gratitude, and a very thinly veiled threat toward Dana. Enjoyyyy!

Wellness + the Occult!
Beverly has entered her California era, and she's trading Pilgrim energy for tarot cards and woo-woo wisdom! This week: Beverly explains why she's basically a human app (patent pending), takes partial accountability for Bradley Cooper's face and accidentally listens to her daughter do things no mother should ever hear at a farmer's market. Then it's off to the tarot cards, where Beverly channels her God-given Jewish intuition to solve at least one relationship, possibly offend two major religious groups and concludes that the Knight of Wands is basically saying: have more sex. The Talmud says no to divination. Beverly says she'll think about it. Subscribe or she will yell at you. $4 a month. It's less than a bully stick bite! (Look it up.)

Wellness + Dairy!
Beverly celebrates Shavuot — the B-list Jewish holiday you've never heard of — by explaining the Ten Commandments (mostly correctly), recapping the Book of Ruth (mostly correctly), and sharing how a four-hour call with a JetBlue customer service rep taught her everything she needed to know about loyalty, dairy, and not committing adultery with her neighbor's lawnmower! Also: Rachelle has done something terrible, Sydney Sweeney was in a Nordstrom fitting room, and someone's bat mitzvah was canceled because of a toilet seat cover text. Happy Shavuot!

From there, Beverly tackles aging gracefully (or as she prefers, "aging naturally"), weighs in on who in Hollywood is doing it right vs. who's "wearing their face like a mask," and delivers the latest chaotic updates on her twins Rachelle and Lainie — one of whom is squatting at Beverly's best friend's house and the other just got arrested at Trader Joe's.

Wellness + Passover!
Beverly tackles Passover - retelling the Exodus story her way! From Moses in the Nile to the parting of the Red Sea, complete with commentary on Charlton Heston's post-burning-bush glow-up, a generational "sexual awakening" debate (Yentl, Call Me By Your Name, Casper), her chaotic Seder guest list, daughter Laney's run-in with the cops, and Rochelle's unused "sexy Seder" routine.
