  • Thought provoking

    Interesting guests. BUT…Kasia De Lazari Radek is difficult to understand and distracts from the content. May I suggest a dialect coach to improve her pronunciation and articulation to make her more understandable.

    I’ve been a fan of both of these hosts’ research and insights while I was working on my phd (nursing). This podcast, since I’ve finished my research into assisted dying, sustains and expands my engagement with the problems I encountered during my research .
