  • Let down

    Great host, great editing. Let down by the repeated intrusion of quackery into it. People talking about chiropractors, “energy workers”, craniosacral therapy, etc. Makes me immediately lose any investment in the person’s story, because I immediately know they’re a moron.

  • What a great find!

    I love this show! I just found it and am currently binging it. Unlike many shows where the hosts constantly interrupt good stories with their annoying comments, this show lets the guests fully tell their stories. The host only asks questions when necessary. I highly recommend it!
