Interesting
Great show so far. Episode 1 paints NLP to be specific and manipulative when it’s really a very broad acronym.
I absolutely love the skeptical and yet open minded approach of these journalists. Fantastic job! I want more!
I’m really enjoying these hosts and what this topic seems to be getting at, but giving a platform to abusive grifters is bizarre.
I am addicted to Mind Games! Each episode I listen to I can’t wait for the next one to come out. It is entertaining, witty, very well written and researched and very insightful. Zoe and Alice are brilliant and I can’t wait to listen to more podcasts from them.
