Just Break Up: Relationship Advice from Your Queer Besties
Sierra DeMulder and Sam Blackwell
Show overview
Just Break Up: Relationship Advice from Your Queer Besties has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 753 episodes, alongside 32 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 590 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 30 min and 1h 8m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language Health & Fitness show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 50 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2024, with 153 episodes published. Published by Sierra DeMulder and Sam Blackwell.
From the publisher
Sam & Sierra may not be therapists, but they will tell it to you straight (even if they aren’t). Each episode, they answer listeners’ questions with compassion, radical honesty, and all the relationship advice you don’t want—but definitely need. And no, it’s not always “just break up.” (Unless you really should!)
