    Hi! I recently found your show and have been binge listening since. I’m a PMHNP in Texas and really appreciate what y’all are doing with this show! I love the length of the episodes because I usually listen while doing a long run (I’m training for a fall marathon!).

  • Insanely good!!!

    I regularly tell my friends that I think they make this podcast specifically for me. Every time a new episode comes out the topic pleasantly surprises me. I could never be a medical doctor but I’ve always been super interested in psych and I am a scientist so the focus on science, research, and clinical work is fascinating to me. Preston and Margaret are so funny they regularly make me laugh out loud. Quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts <3
