- Thank you.
This podcast is fantastic. It’s so useful. It’s so practical. I will say I feel like Donald’s microphone/audio quality could be improved . But anyways, I would give this podcast six stars if I could.

Apple Podcasts5jenbwallaceUnited States5 months ago - Excellent
Very relatable and disgusting in a way that every man can understand.
Apple Podcasts5ChrisRamsey1United Kingdom7 months ago - Interruptions
While, the content is excellent, the interviewer’s constant interruptions and interjections are uncalled for. Dr. Robinson, please listen to your own podcast and count the number of times you interject per minute. Then contrast that with how well Sam Harris listened to you without interruption.
