  • excellent conversation

    on this latest podcast on NM behavioral health care

    thank you to the interviewer and staff and all the professionals and all their colleagues for their reporting and work across NM

    AGREED- NM can create their own systems that benefit the communities . the white supremest colonized system does NOT work. we need to step out and all help each community support the systems that already work for them !

  • Lacks diversity

    The topics and guests exhibit a lack of diversity of thought. I was interested in many of the topics listed but was very disappointed that the program only presents one side (left, progressive) of the issue.

    Production quality needs work. Hearing the host clacking on a keyboard or mouse while the guests are talking is annoying.

  • Wish they’d keep it updated

    I love this podcast so much but wish they’d have the current episode always updated on here. It’s mid June and they only have up to May 15.
