Listener sentiment
Excuse My Grandma continues to earn deep listener affection, with the overwhelming majority of ratings praising the warm, funny dynamic between Kim and her grandmother Gail and the show's intergenerational take on dating, relationships, fashion, and everyday life. Listeners repeatedly describe the duo as comforting and heartwarming — many say the show reminds them of their own grandmothers or inspires them to cultivate similar bonds with their own grandchildren. Gail's wit, wisdom, and old-school sensibility paired with Kim's contemporary perspective is consistently cited as the show's core appeal, along with the glimpses into their Jewish family culture and New York lifestyle. The main recurring criticism is audio quality: multiple reviewers across several years note that Kim's microphone sounds muffled or tinny compared to Gail's, a problem that has apparently not been fully resolved. A handful of more recent critiques touch on editorial polish — including Kim's speaking habits, occasional factual misstatements, and sensitivity in discussing topics like domestic abuse — suggesting that while the relational charm remains the draw, some listeners would welcome more attention to production and editorial rigor.
