Adore Your work- Science, facts, critical thinking. Staple nutrition and the only human diet needed to survive. ❤️
PS. To the reviewer- i am having the same issues. I cannot download MP or Michael and Peters podcast episodes-followed the same steps- no success
nada. nishta- kaput. sick of this kind of power from tech giants. i digress…
Although the content is high quality and right up my alley, I’m sad to say that I just can’t get through a single episode. The repeated screaming is beyond annoying and makes the conversations impossible to listen to. A classic example of form obstructing the content. Too bad.
Could there be two more likable people? So fun, so charming, so smart. These are the personalities that I look for in friends and life so why not in a podcast? Also, this is great for those of us that deal with disordered eating as it puts trends into perspective. Much thanks to both of you.
I love my parasocial podcast friends! Maintenance Phase is the perfect blend of informative, laugh-out-loud funny, and just the teeniest but of heartfelt under all the jokes. Listening to each new episode is an instant dopamine hit.
This episode had the trio that I didn’t know that I needed in my life. I cackled so hard during this particular episode that I not only scared my pets and family, but I also scared myself a couple times. I’m always looking forward to your new episodes to gain a wrinkle or two in my brain but with this one, I gained a pain in my side and a tear in my eye. You’re all amazing and thank you for all of the countless research hours that you go through for every awesome episode!
