Wiser Than Me is a podcast hosted by actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus. On the show, launched in 2023 and produced by Lemonada Media, Louis-Dreyfus interviews women older than her on their lived experience and earned wisdom. The show was named Apple's Best Podcast of the Year for 2023[1]. [2]
Louis-Dreyfus created the show to counter-balance the trend of iconic women disappearing from the public eye as they age. In the first episode she explains that this struck her while watching a documentary about Jane Fonda. “It is just stunning to me that old women are so easily dismissed and made invisible by our culture,” she says. Jane Fonda later became the first guest on the show.[3]
Each episode begins with a monologue from Louis-Dreyfus, followed by an interview with a well-known woman, typically over 70 years old. Guests have included actress Jane Fonda, comedian Carol Burnett, author Isabel Allende and author Amy Tan. [4]
