Connected on each topic.
I love listening to Figuring it Out. Hosts Alex and Kathryn make complex topics relatable and easy to listen to, sharing their own opinions and life experiences whilst giving a balanced view backed up by scientific research. It is a fun and relaxing listening and gives me a lot to think about over the week until the next episode comes out!
I look forward to listening to this podcast every week and listen to it often on a walk outside. As a young person (19) I find this podcast particularly interesting and helpful as it gives me a sense of grounding as provides me with an opportunity to reflect and look at something outside of myself. Thank you Dr Alex George for creating this and please keep going!
I love listening to the Stompcast (and any Dr Alex George content). I love the delivery of the information. Such a casual way to learn about important topics. It’s my go-to for my walks.
It was the episodes with Greg James that made me discover this podcast. Now I’m hooked. I love the conversations Alex has. There’s so much in them for everyone. The concept of going out for a walk in nature and chatting about health and wellbeing works so well.
