  • Bit of a shock

    I was very surprised that the ep with Christopher Eccleston played with no content warning. I was in the car, so had no view of show notes. To be exposed to the conversation about depression when I felt suicidal was upsetting. My responsibility but i’ll avoid the podcast in future.

  • A good read.

    Harriet’s breadth of reading and her open minded approach are not always displayed by her guests who sometimes have an axe to grind.
