Couldn't Help But Wonder: A Sex and the City Podcast with Jamie Lee and Rose Surnow

392

Join comedians and best buds Jamie Lee and Rose Surnow as they analyze every episode of Sex and the City from the beginning, using HBO’s iconic series as a jumping off point to overshare about their own wild lives. The hilarious gal pals take a raw, unapologetic look at the female experience, covering every topic under the Triborough Bridge, from body positivity and self-care, to relationships and dating awkwardness. Is it okay to date someone who rides a Bird scooter? How long do you have to wait to tell your fiancé that you hate his twin? What if your boyfriend only has one ball, but three penises? "Couldn’t Help But Wonder is like a Moschino sweatshirt: larger than life, towing the line between classy and trashy, but with a wicked sense of humor.” - Carrie Bradshaw if she were a fan. Produced by the Forever Dog Podcast Network.

    If you’re looking for an excellent SATC recap pod, THIS IS THE ONE. I sampled em all upon my most recent rewatch and wow, is this an underrated gem. I’d pay good patreon dinero for an AJLT recap pod! Or maybe Girls? I respect their current endeavors and understand that they’re busy bicoastal babes now, but I just adore and miss Rose and Jamie’s dynamic so much! 🥰

    Love you guys
    COME BACKKKKKKKK

    Come back!!
    I’m so obsessed with this podcast. Please come back for AJLT. We all want to hear from Jamie and Rose. Such great insight and fun conversations. 💕🎹

    Obsessed!
    Although this podcast is not airing live anymore, I am catching up with it now, and I am 100% completely obsessed. Not only are Jaime and Rose hysterical, they’ve actually helped me psychologically examine my own life which I didn’t even realize was needed. And I love their “I’m horny for” list, I write down every single thing that they recommend and am slowly working through it. Any SATC super fan needs to listen to this podcast.

    Rose surnow is f-ing hilarious
    Two words: hand, turkey.

    Such a delight
    I cannot say enough good things about this podcast. First, I’ve been a fan of Jamie’s since Crashing, and I am not obsessed with Rose, too. These two ladies are my age, and hearing about their very relatable lives is just as enjoyable as the Sex and the City content. I truly feel like I’m listening to two friends, in fact, I wish they WERE my friends! Skyler is also hilarious and I love all his quips and the token male perspective. As a SATC Superfan, this podcast is a total gem. Rose and Jamie, I wish we could hang in real life!

    Late the party
    Can’t find the words for how much this podcast has meant to me over the past few months as I’ve binged it through a tough time in my life. Love the writers room and character analysis but mostly love hearing Rose and Jamie (and Sky!) be so candid and open about their lives. Truly feel like you guys are my besties.
  • EmmyfromBoston
    AJLT....
    Hope you guys will consider coming back to discuss when this hits! Tuesday’s are not the same without you!

    Overall good podcast
    EDIT TO MY ORIGINAL COMMENT: I’m now at a point where I am so invested in all three of their lives. I’m sad to learn that in real time they have stopped making episodes because this podcast has become my new favorite. I used to dislike how long they took going off on tangents but now I’m like, wait Rose, “how is your back doing? Did you get more eggs?”. I really really hope you ladies come back especially once the new stuff is released for SATC. Love you guys! I definitely enjoy listening to this podcast. It can get overwhelming at points because they talk over each other a lot and talk a mile a minute haha especially when they’re enthusiastic about something which is often. The other thing is sometimes they go on these long tangents and you’re just like “can we get back to sex and the city?” Since that’s why most of us are here, but I still stick with it because I do enjoy when they really dissect certain scenes! A lot of the things that they say are either thoughts I’ve had while watching are are thoughts that bring me a new perspective so it’s positive either way!
  • Scary Bradshaw
    LOVE!
    As someone who’s been obsessed with SATC since it aired, this podcast gives me life. I didn’t expect to also fall in love with Jamie and Rose but they are so hilarious and relatable. They literally have me gut laughing most episodes and it’s become such a source of joy to listen in.

    It takes time
    After a long binge listen, I just hit the July 13 episode. Sorry about your dad Jamie. You will feel better soon. Looking forward to the next project.

    OBSESSED
    I binged this podcast the last few months, and it’s been such a companion during the long WFH days. Even better than the SATC recaps, I love hearing about Jaime and Rose’s lives. Can’t wait for their next project!
  • ColleenTheRed
    Absolutely Gutted It’s Over!
    Rose, Jamie, and Skyler, I’m not sure what to say. I haven’t left you a review until now, but I feel like a kid the day after Christmas realizing all the fun is over (though I know that’s not true). I have followed this pod since the first ep and have enjoyed hearing about how your lives mesh with certain characters and plot points. There’s so much to say but I don’t want to be too gushy… so I’ll just leave it at this: thanks for the laughs, the brightness in a dark place, the serious meta-analysis, and everything else that you brought to all of us through this pod. That you talked about your lives too made it feel even more authentic! I love you guys! Keep killing it! ❤️
  • kyinga
    Yes!! If you LOVE SATC, you’ll love these ladies!
    I’m 54. Your podcast rocks! Y’all are funny and smart and insightful and make me LOL (literally) every episode. I listen to you on daily walks—I hardly know I’m exercising. Thanks for being awesome!
  • satcluvr
    Love
    I love sex and the city. It’s my absolute favorite show and is pretty much sacred to me at this point. So I was nervous to listen to a SATC podcast because I wasn’t sure how they were gonna play it. But these hilarious ladies nail it. I love their life chat sprinkled throughout these iconic episodes. It’s so relevant to any young person in their 20s-30s and super refreshing to hear the show related to modern dating in a non-cringey way. I will say though, sometimes I find myself getting SO annoyed at some of their SATC opinions. It’s a personal problem, I know. But justice for Aidan!!! They were SO hard on him and Carrie and for what!!! In this case and other staple storylines I find that they hyper focus on irrelevant details and breeze over more important plot points. But obviously I know we can’t all have the same opinions on a tv show. Either way, love you girls!!!

    Hooked
    Just discovered this ‘cast and have been binging non-stop! I really appreciate how open Rose and Jamie are in sharing about their lives and experiences. And they are able to think critically about SATC while still being avid fans. But I’d listen to these gals talk about anything!
  • Linzy Love
    My favorite podcast
    This is my favorite podcast right now. I love listening to the recaps of the show because it brings it to life for me. I love the analysis. I love the overanalysis. I agree with so much of what they say and enjoy that there are other SATC nerds like me. These girls (and Skyler) are so much fun.
  • JTinPdx
    Love this podcast!
    This is the 3rd SATC podcast that I have listened to and my favorite! The hosts are funny and kind to each other. I hope they continue to podcast together. They can talk about almost any thing and I will listen.
  • Caryn Beth
    AMAZING!!!
    I have been a die hard SATC fan for as long as I can remember and was SO excited to find this gem of a podcast. Jamie and Rose are bright, hilarious and completely spot on with their in depth analysis of each episode. Thank you for helping me to survive not being able to see my girlfriends during this pandemic! LOVE!
  • LyndseyDes
    LOVE this podcast!
    Genuinely can’t believe I haven’t done this before - this podcast is amazing. Jamie and Rose are so funny and insightful. The episode recaps are fun if you love the show but this show actually accomplishes what a lot of podcasts try to: it feels like chatting with your friends. The podcast celebrates the show for the incredible thing it is, but also points out where they could’ve done better in terms of representation. If you’re interested in Sex and the City, comedy, or writing - you should listen!
  • Elizabeth Moravek
    Good podcast
    Not knowing the host(s) it’s hard to figure out which voice is who’s because they sound similar. One has a really creepy laugh. Like muttley from looney tunes. It happens sporadically enough to only be uncomfortable but not annoying. Content is... good enough that I keep listening while working on billing at work.
  • Brej723
    Love the ladies, love the pod
    Such a great podcast for hot SATC takes and a friendly and fun environment.
  • AtownBieds
    Love it!
    I feel like Rose
  • LazyLiz19
    Love
    I love every aspect of this show. It’s hosted by two intelligent women with a lovely man sidekick who pops in from time to time. I have listened to every episode and probably will revisit every episode because it is that good!
  • Sckmncky560
    love pod
    yes!
  • Ktmcb1234
    Love!
    If you’re a sex and the city fan, you’ll love this! I sing the theme song to my baby, and even she loves it. Take it from us.
  • rchlmrphy
    Like a night with the girl
    I am totally addicted. I cannot stop telling my friends about this pod. Rose and Jamie remind me so much of my friends, I cannot stop laughing. I’ve been binging every episode since I ran across this, and just cannot get enough!

    The best part of my Tuesday! A great take on SATC; Rose and Jamie are awesome and get into very real discussions about how the show lines up with their lives and experiences. I also appreciate your comments and opinions (Skylar’s comments too!) on the more technical aspects of the show like the writing choices or directing choices during an episode. The nuances of the script would go over my head so it’s great to hear comedy writers break down the show. Thank you for all the work you put in, my favorite podcast that got me through 2020!
  • Linzphun
    Funny AF
    I have seen every episode of satc too many times but im not embarrassed. I am also not embarrassed when i am walking my dog laughing out loud in front of my neighbors homes because these chicks are wild. 10/10 would listen every day ( i do)
  • Mir-antha
    Binge worthy
    I came for the witty analysis of one of my favorite all-time shows. I stayed for Rose and Jamie's life updates -- Chachi! Wellbutrin! Unnamed TV writing gigs! -- and the clear love between these two friends.
  • baylee123:)
    Lovely women (& Skyler)
    Rose and Jamie are wonderfully spoken, funny and offer super-relatable thoughts & ideas that connect back to the best show ever made. If you don’t want to analyze and grow in your current relationships, I wouldn’t recommend, BUT if you want to dive into the inner workings of sex & relationships with some funny and talented people, this is the pod for you! As a loyal listener, I would love for the ladies to conduct more interviews with subject matter experts! They’re both great interviewers and guests offer a great opportunity to introduce more diverse perspectives. Love, a 20-something Samantha
  • lsw🦁
    The podcast that gets you through the day
    This is such a great podcast to listen to during quarantine, when you’re going through a breakup, or need someone to validate how great and outrageous SATC is. Great work!
  • Luvmesomebgl29
    Couldn’t help but love it
    Love Jamie from crashing which is how I was Introduced to the podcast! Her and rose have great chemistry and I love when they weave in stories from their past while relating to each episode. Fun listen and easy binge!
  • Berkeley_Ken
    Entertaining, relatable and hilarious
    I love the dissection of SATC through a 2020 lens. Rose and Jamie are so funny and tell really interesting personal stories. My only gripe is Skylar, specifically when he chimes in and tries to be funny. Just let the girls riff, it’s their show. Skylar’s humor is like listening to a coworker who thinks they’re really funny and you have to smile and chuckle at their jokes to be polite but, I’m sorry to say Skylar, you’re just. not. funny.

    Dependable, personal and thoughtful podcasting
    Hey gals. I wanna thank you for every week consistently coming out with a new show. I got hooked on another SATC pod where they seemingly fell off the face of the earth and prior to, were super inconsistent with releases. You just doing that puts this podcast in the upper echelon so, good work. I like the personal stories I mean I don’t know you guys at all but for some reason I do care what you got going on so thanks for sharing. Now for the criticism. You guys do a decent job of dissecting the episodes and characters but somehow it still lacks in depth a lot of the time. One thing I’ve noticed which is very distracting is how everything is “interesting”. You all 3 say it so so very much and many times when something, honestly, isn’t even remotely interesting such as giving a simple thought or observation. Thoughts and observations are certainly deserving to be shared with us that is kinda the point of the podcast...but saying how “interesting” everything is denigrates the truly interesting things you guys say and makes the listener numb to what may be a particularly interesting point. Anyway, I suggest working on the overuse of that word which is very irritating and distracting. Other than that thanks for a fun podcast I listen to each and every Tuesday. Nice work girls (and guy)!
  • Raymond Gatsby
    Gets me through work everyday!
    I started listening to Bradshaw Boys and an ad for show your podcast played during the break. Instantly hooked! I work in security so I work isolation all day. Literally play this pod all day at work! Super hilarious! I sing theme song eveeeeeeeery time! Random you guys have great voices for animated voice work!!!! So sad I found this pod so close to the end of series!!!
  • mh1086
    My favorite podcast!
    Literally the best thing I tune into every Tuesday! I love rose and Jaime they are so funny and I love how they comment the episodes I even follow along and watch the next episode right after they go over the previous one! A lot of fun! Listen!
  • cosmicknead
    Like chatting at Cafeteria with the gals
    As SATC obsessed I have been since the dawn of the millenium, this podcast brings it all back home again! Rose and Jaime Lee are so fun and hilarious, I wish I could be chatting it up with them a la brunch with the core four at Cafeteria. I love the weaving of their lives (R + L) to the show, because I'm pretty sure SATC was the framework of my 20s. I cannot even tell you how many times the script has weaved itself into my life.... forever a Carrie with the integration of Miranda, Sam, and Charlotte as I enter my 30s. So happy to relive the episodes through the pod. Keep it up gals! Much love <3
  • Phil Putnam
    Proud GAL!!
    I'll just keep it simple and say that this show is a part of my life. It's something I listen to and also something I care about. That connection is due to Rose and Jamie being consistently, refreshingly, hilariously, sometimes startlingly authentic and open with us. Also, SATC has been a part of my life since it aired, so hearing commentary on it through a modern lens beyond my own perspective is really engaging and illuminating. Get on it, Gals! Unless you're a straight guy, and then just download Joe Rogan or Dax Shepard or whatever bros do to pysch up before a night of QuarTindr.
  • MandyKSD
    SATC and So Much More
    Just binged this entire podcast start to finish! I love SATC which is what prompted me to start listening, but now more than that I love Rose and Jamie. They’re funny, insightful, and most importantly, so very honest. I’ve laughed out loud so many times, and I’ve also felt very seen and connected. They’re inclusive, socially aware, and always try to tackle these topics in life and love from different lenses. Amazing podcast for those of us that love SATC but even more amazing for those of us that are introspective and are always seeking ❤️
  • MinnieFlora
    The Absolutely BEST SATC podcast
    This is the fifth SATC podcast for me and it comes in on top. I loved SATC and always will, but Jamie and Rose talk about many other things and that’s what makes this pod so great. Much respect for the production value too - it has a beautiful flow.
  • Valkorie
    Fun show to talk about with real people
    I really appreciate how vulnerable Rose and Jamie are when they chat about a show that has it’s own depth. Love S&TC and really getting to love Rose and Jamie!
  • erinwelden
    Love it!
    Love love love this podcast! I'm a big fan of their banter and how they make you feel like you're just hanging around with the girls. Also love how open they are about their lives, like how Rose talks so freely about therapy! They do a great job recapping the episodes and make me want to rewatch SATC for the millionth time! :)
  • k3fo
    Friendship, love, gentle mental health truth bombs
    Love this show and these ladies. They’re so honest and open in smart, clear, funny ways that have hit home for me at the moments I needed it most during covid. Rose and Jamie live SATC enough to keep it real and make it relevant. Listen and love!
  • AlexTheGoode
    Getting me through covid times
    You MUST start at the beginning! Or I at least strongly encourage you to watch an Ep or two and then listen to the corresponding pod episode right after. Rose and Jamie are thoughtful in their critique AND hilarious. I’m only into season two, and I already feel very codependent on these women LOL. There’s something about female friends truly cackling with joy that really brings me true joy, I think it actually increases serotonin.
  • Maddie40206
    Love the show and the girls!
    I look forward to Jamie Lee and Rose’s show commentary and life convos every week! Thank you for your intelligent and fun analysis of a wonderfully made tv show that is so often written off as fluff (or whipped cream). I listen to almost every SATC podcast, and this is tied for my number one favorite!
  • Persona_User
    Boooooooring.
    Too too TOOOO much talking in the beginning about nothing interesting at all. Also the voices are so put on yikes. Anyway, I tried to like this but I just felt gross listening to it, bye.

    Couldn’t Help But Subscribe
    Truly not usually the review-writing kind, but this podcast brings me too much joy to hold back! Rose and Jamie are the most delightfully funny, insightful, honest hosts and I absolutely love how much of themselves they bring to the podcast. I haven’t made it through a single episode without catching myself remarking, loudly and obnoxiously cackling, and smiling to myself. Thank you ladies!!!
  • roseama
    Fabulous
    Love this show. I look forward to it every week. The hosts are fantastic. I hope they tackle Girls next. Thank you for all the insight and self aware personal details you share about your beautiful inspiring lives. These two are killing it.
