I enjoyed this podcast for a long time, and I love hearing most of the interactions between Alex and Merlin, but many weeks I found the emotional abuse Alex takes from her hero, Merlin, was very triggering. This is how my father treated my mother before hitting her, so I had to stop listening.
Respect the listener
Merlin!! Please let Alex talk more :D
Merlin Mann, STOP INTERRUPTING ALEX while they’re trying to make a point. If you can’t wait for them to finish their point make notes of your response and share them after they finish if you can’t wait.
I liked the mission impossible bit but oof this is hard to listen to
