    Thank you for wonderful storytelling and deep thinking. As a school teacher, I love your research and appreciate all your work. The latest show on your best aspect of yourself also being your worst was a new favourite. Thanks.

  • Great show unbearable co host

    This show is great for self help and learning new skills. The co host constantly ruins it for me and has made it unlistenable for me. He’s so fake sounding and over the top annoying.

  • Best podcast

    Looking forward to every episode. Funny, informative, always learning, well researched. Many other podcasts feel boring now, book promotion etc. Love all the different formats and how you both go very personal.

  • The Best Thing About You is Also the Worst Thing

    Thank you for sharing your personal journey with ADHD. This episode was one of my favorites. I wish you would do a part two with other famous people. I happen to be a highly-detailed person and I thought it was normal and that everyone was detailed, but apparently not. lol This episode was an eye-opener for me. Keep up with the good work.!!!

  • The best thing about you also the worst thing.

    I loved this format. I love the language it was what drew me to listening to you in the first place. Your dark sense of humor, the combination of explicit language while also educating and showing how highly educated you are. It makes it very relatable and refreshing.

    The time was a bit shorter, I don’t mind it, would have liked it to be at least an hour (so I can clean the house 😅) also like when Drew joins the podcast.

    Love you, you are great!
