Always thought provoking and wonderful guests. I love how John allows people to talk, listens sensitively, emphatically and with non-judgement. Our world could do with more John-types! The epitome of how to be a non-toxic man! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Enough about what a brilliant interviewer John is (he is) and a well deserved round of applause for whoever chooses the interviewees (might also be John...who knows?). I saw this week's episode pop up on my feed and thought Philippa York? Who? Just a brilliant interviewee, that's who, with an incredible and utterly absorbing story. Funny, self deprecating, frank...I enjoyed this episode so much. Thank you.
As somebody who has lost a child to cancer, I have gained so much from many of these episodes! Amazing and insightful, John you host beautifully! 5 stars!
This podcast is consistently good - always thought provoking and insightful. I never really write reviews but the Jordan Stephens episode was so good I felt compelled to write this review in the hope of swaying anyone, but men in particular, to listen to that episode in particular. Well done and thank you John and Jordan.
I knew John Robins was a good guy - he is a massive Queen fan, after all. His thoughtful, active listening and tangible empathy makes this one of the most inspiring podcasts that I listen to. He is willing to draw on his own experiences and self-development journey when interviewing a fantastic range of guests. As a trainee therapist, I’ve really learned so much from these humorous, deep and powerful conversations.
