  • Great on many levels

    I really appreciate the openness and honesty in which John and his guests discuss the subject at hand. One of the tells about how unpretentious this podcast is are the snapshots that accompany each episode. They depict two normal people getting their photo taken and not a Photoshopped Botoxed Posey Posey pair. I find this podcast very interesting and enlightening.

  • More than a comedian

    Please don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a comedian trying to interview people.

    John is an incredibly talented interviewer in his own right. He puts in the prep to ensure his questions are insightful and interesting.

    With his own lived experience, he is also thoughtful and empathetic when discussing mental health struggles.

    Just a wonderful podcast.
