  • Can not listen

    Maurice constantly raises his voice so too hard to listen to with earbuds. Wish he would at least move away from the mic when he yells. Really needs better audio for his guests.

  • Love hearing actors’ stories

    I love hearing the stories of the actors who come on State of Mind. They have such rich lives and histories and I enjoy hearing about their experiences with mental health and mental illness. One critique I have-I really wish MB would stop talking over some of the guests and interrupting them. Sometimes it seems like they’re about to share something interesting and then he talks over them.
