You would learn a lot if things about dating life. Brian is a great host and he is passionate, smart, witty and so romantic!

This is probably the best resource and podcast for today’s dating world and a must listen for anyone looking for love. There is so much here from what dating once was to the current dating landscape. Brian is an excellent host, he is funny, smart and insightful.

I have been faithfully listening to this podcast since 2018. In fact, I believe it was the first podcast I ever subscribed to, and one of about three that has every episode marked ‘played’. This past year, he posted an episode in which he rated the 10 worst cities to find love, and a separate episode in which he rated the 10 best cities to find love. Guess what episode was full of “Blue” cities and which one was full of “Red” cities. On the episode posted on January 3rd, he made it clear that he was aware that certain people were listening to his podcast, which made it clear to me that he has a target audience and knows that his words have caused his non-target audience to stop listening. He also mentioned people still dating via Zoom. Who is doing that in 2023? Most people are not. He seems to just enjoy being a jerk. That was the last episode I played. He’s been talking about how politics should not matter when dating, yet he gets into politics in this podcast by mentioning things that have been politicized. He should save that for his other YouTube show, or podcast, whatever he considers it. Howie, there was a way to deliver your message, and you could have left out the unnecessary insults. I wish you true happiness and joy, because it sounds like you need it.

You MUST listen to The Great Love Debate! Brian, the host, cracks me up! He is quick witted and thought provoking yet at the same time vulnerable and authentic. He challenges you to THINK! I doesn’t matter if you agree or not, but to have your brain stimulated is a gift! We are hear on this earth to love. Listening to this podcast will provoke you, challenge you and make you laugh, what more could you want?

Poor Becky!! She’s gorgeous and never been on a date. Big shocker she divorced that dummy.

I travel for work and listen to podcasts like a full time job. This one is SO good. I’m looking forward to listening on more long, solo car trips, listening with friends and with my partner. Brian’s voice is so soothing and easy to listen to. He is opinionated, but kind about his convictions!

The conversations are authentic and relatable while being relaxed. Great show!

Love all the shows, but especially when they answer the listener letters, very funny and some good advice. Brian and guests take on any question and provide either great advice or at least a worthy point of view. Interesting, funny, smart, provocative, great entertainment while sitting in traffic.

Brian's an awesome dude who knows his stuff and is always entertaining. One of my favorite podcasts out there. Always delivers. You'll love it

I’ve been listening since feb 2020 and have heard a lot useful information. I haven’t always appreciated what Brian Howie has stated BUT it’s normal not to agree with everything another person says. Today’s episode (released week of Nov 15th 2020) is by far my fave episode! Being a now 50 yr old woman, who really didn’t ‘come into her own’ until her 40s it was refreshing Hearing from another woman who navigated similar waters during those years.

Brian Howie has worked out a lot of good stuff. Bonus, he articulates it really well. Other bonus, he’s funny as crap. Definitely a keeper.

The Great Love Debate deserves more then 5 stars! It's an amazing podcast that discusses all parts of relationships and gives real concret advice. For anyone who wants to improve themselves and have the best relationship every. Thanks so much for amazing value!!

I sincerely enjoy Brian’s “no-BS” clear cut advice. Not to mention how his sense of humor never fails to make me laugh out loud. Great podcast for the single ladies out there!

Maybe you can find gold nuggets every now and then, but for a vast majority of the time nothing is really said. They have a lively mannerisms, and are well suited for voice podcasting, but there is no content, or meat; just little snippets of opinions and sometimes facts. A representative episode to see what I am talking about would be the “23 questions” episode. Everything is surface layer here, and I almost always review positively for things, but I just can’t for this one. I would take this as advice for host because everyone really does have good podcasting personalities. This is something fixable.

Highly recommend. I LOVE this show & Brian Howie continues to give me hope that I will find the right relationship and figure out what my version of “happy” will be. We don’t have to settle, we can all make a change that can lead to the future we choose -not just what others push on us.

Brian’s take on dating and relationships is always so insightful. I love the guests and the humorous takes on love and dating. Definitely worth a listen for anyone trying to navigate dating.

I attended a live show and enjoyed it so much I now listen to the podcasts. Never stop making love, Brian!

I am such a huge fan of this podcast- I randomly saw the GLD in nyc and listened to a podcast afterwards and I liked it so much I binged and listened to every single GLD podcast. Everyone on the show (Brian, his producer Keiko, all the guests) has interesting things to say and they are all just very likable. It amazes me how they constantly find important/relevant topics and have a variety of ways of discussing things (I.e. their “worst date or first date” game). Brian is very wise and I often times find myself writing down lines he says and texting them to friends to help them- sooo many nuggets of wisdom on this show. He said something brilliant about closure in his last show and it’s the most helpful thing I have ever heard and I replayed it about 20x, that’s how smart it was. I am very grateful for the existence of this podcast and I can’t wait to hear more episodes! Love love love the Great Love Debate.

Thanks for the great tips !!!

This podcast is totally shallow, superficial, vapid, and cynical. To be fair, I think the appeal of this podcast is that it's shallow, superficial, vapid, and cynical. It's entertaining now and again, but I wouldn't take it too seriously as some type of dating gospel or anything. Brian Howie definitely has some good advice from time to time, but there are far, far better resources for modern dating than this podcast. I give it three stars. It's laugh-out-loud funny once in a blue moon and easy to listen to, but boy does it sour a person on wanting to put themselves out there and date. Read something like If the Buddha Dated or some such thing instead--something softer and gentler. Brian Howie and his guests can be brutal, kind of like dating apps.

This is the best podcast for dating and relationships! GLD helps single men and women overcome hyper judgmental perceptions, while being entertaining, and educational♥️ Love these guys!

The host is very sure of himself and thinks he has the best advice, very one size fits all. I listen to it, but with a grain of salt.

Dude never lets his guests, often women, get a word in edgewise. He’s a narcissistic blowhard with absolutely no self-awareness. Blech

After a long hiatus from dating, I met someone this past summer. While we had so much in common, the timing was all wrong. Truthfully: there were signs and I ignored them. I was heartbroken and felt defeated. One day I decided to try Tinder and I saw Brian Howie and the Great Love Debate. Although, I couldn’t attend the live show in my city, I continued to listen to this podcast. What an inspiration it has been! I realized that I bought into some of the negative stereotypes of dating. How could I be open to love if I was closed and hopeless? Listening to this podcast has taught me: 1. The best dating site is Earth! 2. If given the choice between single or being in the most fulfilling relationship, most people pick the latter. 3. Be hopeful, open and present everywhere. If you are you’ll notice others and they will definitely notice you! The topics, discussions and guests are interesting, informative and real. Give the Great Love Debate a listen and you’ll keep listening and hopefully be in a loving relationship soon! I know I will ❤️

I listened to 5 episodes before I wrote this review and I really wanted to like this podcast. It seems to be advertised as research based, all encompassing presentation of information but it’s really just hours heteronormative generalizations, ad placement, and hyperbole. This wasn’t for me.

Love this show! Brian Howie is always entertaining! He never fails to have fabulous guests with wisdom of today’s dating challenges. No matter where you are in your relationship or lack there of, Brian Howie has insight for every situation.

Wonderfully informative and open-minded discussion about modern-day dating. A lot of people would stand to benefit from hearing this discussion, as it is not like what you hear in the rest of culture, whether in TV, radio, or from parents or teachers, and I continue to encounter women my age (20s and 30s) who still carry old-fashioned and myopic views on dating and relationships.

Can’t get enough romance. Great host!

Great conversations, perspectives, and love chatter!!! Has helped me gain so much insight and wisdoms to apply and utilize in my own walk with love!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! 💜💜💜💜

I love the truths that are discussed when it comes to the crazy world of dating!

I like the show, but some of the guests are just wayyy off! The girls in the make men sexy episode were so stuck up. There is no way any guys listening got anything out of that episode. I’m a girl and I was embarrassed of how they were acting.

I love your content, delivery and how you add guests for differing opinions.

This podcast is amazing!! I learn so much about relationships and other interesting people thoughts/things!! Thanks Brian and guests for the inspiration and wisdom!!!

I really appreciated some of the insights and topics raised on this podcast. The tone is unfailingly realistic and not full of the fantasy land that so often comes with dating shows. I will occasionally listen to this going forward. BUT, Brian is a tough host to listen to for long. He never lets the guests get a word in. I’m like why waste these other people’s time if you just wanted to pontificate. The (usually female) guest is held hostage to just listen and occasionally nod in agreement with Brian’s philosophies. It is hard to listen to this dynamic over and over again. The irony of his advice of avoiding dating narcissists...👀👀 Sheesh!

Brian Howie hosts this witty and often hilarious podcast that covers everything about dating, love and relationships. He has a nice soothing voice but his feisty nature also makes it fun to hear his strong opinions and interview guests. One of my go-to podcasts when I want a glimpse inside the male mind and want a masculine perspective on relationships. This podcast is entertaining, fun, light and easy to listen to. If you’re looking for a deeper dive/analysis into topics, this probably isn’t the podcast, but if you want something fun and entertaining with helpful tips sprinkled throughout, this is one of the most enjoyable out there! :-D

"There's internet age and real age..." LOL. "It's easy to lie on the internet..." This is a fun show that gives insight on dating, men and women. I think it was helpful to let people know that they should show more pictures in their online dating profiles instead of writing everything out... Great tip! Also, I liked the mixed of characters on the panel. Their opinions contrast but keep it real!

Holding hands m dipping sauce luv this perspective

My cousin suggested I listen to this podcast; I’ve since subscribed & am going to a live show this year. Very excited to see Brian in action, how he helps people overcome some fears & challenges. I find most of the content helpful & hearing a man’s point of view is beneficial!

I like this podcast until Brian said that religion and ones faith shouldn't be important in a relationship. He compared it to being the same as "differences in ice cream flavor." Clearly that's HIS opinion, but he should understand that not everyone shares that opinion. Faith is the most important thing to some people.

So happy my friend turned me on to this podcast! Finally a podcast that talks about real issues in modern dating and ways to handle different situations and changing mindsets. Definitely recommend for men and women to listen to this podcast!

One of the most entertaining podcasts out there - loved the episode with Tatum O'Neal

I love this podcast and Brian because it is getting people talking about how society has changed between men and women and working to get men and women back in the same room speaking face to face. The dating landscape is different now then it was 30 years ago and him and his guests help bring some of those differences to light. Everyone should listen.

I just started listening after hearing Brian on The Margarita Confessionals podcast and am completely hooked! 10/10 recommend this podcast!

Brian and his guests are consistently entertaining and informative. Brian is incredibly talented and even shares his own experiences in an open and vulnerable way. This podcast is a "must listen", regardless what stage of a relationship you're in (or not).

I have now been listening for over a year and attended two of the live shows (soon 3!). Brian is a great host and has a lot of off the cuff advice for every dating situation. The guest hosts often draw a contrast to his opinions so there are different aspect of dating and love discussed. GLD gets me through my work days and drives home! I highly recommend listening and learning about yourself through these episodes. Brian is very interactive with his listeners so don't hesitate to write the show! You will get your questions answered :) thanks for all you do Brian!

The great love debate team consistently delivers with AMAZING content! The host Brian Howie brings guests on the show that offer a ton of insight into dating, relationships, and self discovery. Legitimately listening to this podcast for over a year now it has changed the way I look at dating in a positive way. I also really like guest host Laurel House - she's a regular guest co-host and just "tells it like it is." Highly recommend regardless of where you are in a relationship or lack of one.

The Great Love Debate with Brian Howie is exactly what's been missing with regard to modern dating dialog. He calls it as he sees it, but does so with humor. He's been there, just like you, and he's not afraid to tell what he thinks about what works, what doesn't, and why. It's lighthearted, entertaining, and if your mind is open, you just might wind up finding your prospects looking up.

Love listening to Brian! He gives good advice and is funny too!

Fun and funny and also some great advise and insights!

Positive, real, and totally down to earth. We need more podcasts like this!
