  • Amen! Thank god that episode is over. Dr. Amen quackery

    Rainn this is silly man. Dr. Amen is not a reliable researcher and/or practitioner. He’s a salesman. Please research your guests more appropriately.

  • Share the Airspace

    I enjoyed the audiobook, so I thought I’d like the podcast more than reading Substack. I adore Valarie Kaur, so I tried to give it a listen. Only made it 2/3 of the way because I couldn’t take the constant interruptions. Let the woman speak!

  • Meditative quality

    I started listening after reading the book and making my husband listen to it. My life is truly different because of the book and the podcast. I am so grateful to hear men being real men with feelings, emotions, and love for humanity. I am not religious but hold so much space for all the beautiful philosophical talks that Rainn and his guests give. Live long and prosper.
