  • Good info but annoying

    I wish these ladies would listen to the experts instead of constantly saying, “right” “yes” and “I was thinking”. In my opinion they consistently interrupt to the degree that the expert is not able to make their point. The content is lost with the interruptions. Geez, hold your thoughts and questions until they are finished with a sentence!

  • Tried really hard

    I really wanted to like this podcast because the topic is right up my alley, but I could not handle the editing. There were so many sounds of acknowledgment during each interview which felt like an interruption of the guest. I just think it would be better to not make those sounds and use editing to get rid of any long silences that you were trying to cover? After listening to three episodes, I just couldn’t anymore. It was too frustrating.

  • Host interruptions

    Cannot stand the host’s interruptions every 2 seconds. What would otherwise be an awesome podcast is ruined by the hosts themselves. Disappointing

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Encore: 41. The Power of Nature | A Conversation with Psychologist Jill Suttie
Q: What about people who don't have easy access to nature?
Even without direct outdoor access, nature-inspired experiences like videos or images, natural light in offices, or plants can still offer benefits; the key is engaging with elements that evoke nature and calm the nervous system.
Encore: 41. The Power of Nature | A Conversation with Psychologist Jill Suttie
Q: How does awe from nature influence our behavior toward others?
Experiencing awe, often from natural scenes, can make people feel smaller and more connected to a larger whole, which in turn increases generosity, pro-social behavior, and ethical actions.
Encore: 41. The Power of Nature | A Conversation with Psychologist Jill Suttie
Q: What does being in nature do to our brains and bodies?
Nature calms the nervous system by reducing sympathetic arousal and boosting parasympathetic activity, which lowers stress and rumination and can calm the default mode network, leading to clearer thinking and improved well-being.
Encore: 51. Rewilding Our Children | A Conversation with Jen Davis, Education & Learning Manager for The Wildlife Trusts
Q: Jenn, welcome to Kindred and thanks so much for joining us today. Would you please introduce yourself and tell us what you do?
