  • Perfect Find

    So I started the show “The Bear” yesterday. It was very intense so it raised my anxiety a bit and it was hard to turn off because it was so good. I forced myself to lay down and listen to my podcast. I listen to the same true crime one every single night but tonight felt different. Watching The Bear made me feel like I needed to check in with my mental so I searched therapy and found this. I started on most recent which was season 7 ep 27 and it’s sooooo good!

  • VERY long intros before getting to the actual topic

    Excellent advice on every episode I’ve listened to however my only complaint is that you have to fast forward 10-15 minutes into the episode before they actually even get to the topic of the episode. This last episode was 17 minutes into before they even got to the actual topic of the episode. The 15 minutes of small talk and ads that begin each episode almost make me want to stop following this show but then they finally get to the stuff you want to hear and they are soooo good!
