    On today’s episode of Wiser Than Me, Julia connects with EGOT-winning actress, singer, and dancer Rita Moreno on her 93rd birthday. The two discuss why Rita almost backed out of her Oscar-winning turn as Anita in West Side Story and the complex emotions Rita experienced after her husband of 45 years passed away. Julia and Rita also bond over the fact that they both find Mel Brooks sexy. Later, Julia talks with her 90-year-old mom, Judith, about seeing the original West Side Story on Broadway and how musicals can be an important vehicle for storytelling.

Beautiful & Wise

Julie Louis-Dreyfus is fantastic as she interviews these amazing women. I have laughed, cried & been inspired by both JLD as well as her guests.
Proving on so many levels that women should not become invisible after 50. There are so many stories to tell.
I so hope there is a second season.

Amazing!

The questions are perfect to illicit thoughtful answers. And the women she's talking to! Wow. My favorite is ending with a call to her mom. Love this!

Such a Great Idea For a Podcast!

I will remember this podcast! I love the concept, as I'm a 52 year old woman who works with older women, and have always enjoyed their stories and all of the wisdom and inspiration I've gotten from them. Every guest was fascinating and Julia is so real and did an amazing job all around! I love the final chats with mom! I had no idea who the last guest was going to be and was thinking, she needs to interview Carol Burnett! Imagine my surprise when that's who it was! Keep doing this podcast! Please! Just wonderful! someone needs to do one for the men now!

The World Needs This

This is definitely the best podcast I've ever listened to, and I can't wait for the next season to drop. Thank you, Julia, for inviting us to "get wise" with you.

Tremendous!

I have never enjoyed a podcast so much from the opening anecdotes to the interviews themselves and the follow up calls to her mother. Julia is so relatable and connects so completely to the people around her. Please please please do another season.
