  • A vote for Jim

    Great podcast, especially all the times when Jim opens his holy mouth. His voice is just the right volume for my ears and everything he says makes me think he must have had a doctorate, at one point. 10/10, especially Jim.

    How is it possible for a podcast to be this good? The mix of practical, down-to-earth advice and humor makes it incredibly binge-worthy! Jim has the perfect podcast host voice, so much knowledge, and he always ties each question together so beautifully at the end. There is perfect chemistry between all hosts.

  • Need a Map?

    For anyone who appreciates learning about therapy and mental health concepts while enjoying trivia and genuine conversation, Pod Therapy, hits the sweet spot. It's the rare educational podcast that never feels like homework, and I find myself both more knowledgeable about psychology and more confident in my geography skills after each episode.
