  • Much needed conversation starter

    As a psychologist but first and foremost a human being, I love how Maddie and Jason bring sensitivity to such important, unspoken about topics. They aren’t afraid to ask difficult questions but do so in a powerful and endearing way that allows for conversation both within the podcast, and outside of it

  • Personal Touch

    Both Maddie and Jason's synchrony is pulsating. A podcast that should be mainstream. A podcast that humanises pain, something you don't see very often. Will share accross friends and family willing to listen.

  • Captivating and Sensitive

    I've been in awe of how delicately Maddie and Jason discuss such challenging and difficult topics. They are warm, inviting, genuine, and gentle in their discussions. It has been so interesting to hear from such diverse and unique experiences of difficult circumstances - even though the topics are sometimes challenging and confronting, I look forward to hearing more!
