  • Great show!

    I listen to every episode with interest and take away something useful each time. I love the interviews, but the solo episodes are valuable too.

  • Super straightforward, helpful, unobtrusive

    I really appreciate the clarity and expertise of this podcast. It’s not about entertaining effects and storytelling, but content. It’s generous, measured, almost anti-sensationalist, a cure.

  • Absolutely fantastic

    Not a single episode that doesn't fascinate me. Thank you for all your hard work. I especially love the clinical topic overviews and the evolutional psychiatry episode. Maybe something on women's health or menopause would be great. There are women's health clinics opening up around the country and it's becoming more of a focus.
