- So much potential but…
There is a lot of potential for this show but the obsession over the hate of the Hughes guy is tiring. I’ll follow again down the road and hopefully that’s changed. Until then I’m moving on.

United States18 days ago - “Both sides-ism”
The host is particularly susceptible to the “both sides” form of bias. Aka, when you reduce an argument down to two sides, then give sides equal weight. He’s not particularly specific when he says “both sides do XYZ” so the listener doesnt know if hes referencing random people on the internet, or actual public figures associated with a party or movement. This creates an illusion to the listener to automatically believe the false equivalence being drawn. I was hoping this would be a cool new pod ... more
Apple Podcasts1Frantzeska1995United States3 months ago - He is brilliant yet doesn’t steal spotlight from guests & it’s part of top tier podcast. Brilliance
It’s a top
Tier podcast. The host is exceptional , brilliant and generous. I love the topic matter. The narcissist abuse episode I got hit hardest with because I experienced and still am enduring ten years later - everything she mentioned and multiplied . I love psychology in general and I’ve looked into a few shows and not one is as articulate, and well versed by the speakers that share on the show and he lets them fully have the stage. I appreciate his candor, intelligence and alll of his gue... more
Apple Podcasts5Rebeccha_LabelUnited States3 months ago - PROS/CONS
Alright, I’m enjoying this podcast. There are new and interesting topics. But yes, the ads are seriously annoying. It feels like a few episodes ran a bit long. Perhaps some editing is needed.
And to the folks who rate the entire podcast with one ⭐️ because of one episode they disliked, I don’t think that’s fair.
