I like AB and this podcast. The ep w/ Sara Azari on the Clancy trial. She said it’s identical to Andrea Yates. Wut?? Lindsay Clancy did not have postpartum psychosis. Dr. Heilbrun explained the best & only plausible reason (in my opinion).
Reporting is decent, but she’s very repetitive and constantly talks over and interrupts every guest she has.
