- California Yes on 50
I’m so grateful that we are able to listen about current issues that affect all of us with smart , funny, compassionate and well informed JVN /staff and their spectacular guests . I’d be truly grateful if a proponent of the Yes on 50 campaign in California could be interviewed ASAP 🥰 Thank you all for being loving and caring enough to create this podcast as well as everything else you all out out into the world 💕

United Statesa month ago - Monday Edit is keeping me here
I loved, loved, loved Getting Curious and miss it dearly. The Monday Edit is super enjoyable and I imagine I will always listen to it, but I just haven’t connected with the Getting Better rebrand as much as I wanted to. I’d love to see a once a month Getting Curious-ish episode!

I hope you know what a joy you are, Jonathan. Listening to you while I wash dishes, drive to meetings for work, travel, do puzzles—it’s my favorite time. I always smile, laugh, and/or cry. Thank you so much for existing. Xo.

I love BOTH episodes of getting better and listen every week. Listening to JVN and Chris talk feels like listening to dear friends and makes me smile as I get ready in the morning on Mondays. Wednesdays I always leave the episode feeling more informed. Thanks!
Ps. I never leave reviews but I know they’re important for podcast success.
