  • Great info but hosts talk over guests

    I enjoy the info and great guests (hosts are very knowledgable too), but man….they talk over their guests like they can’t wait to hear themselves. They have guests on for a reason, it would be nice to hear more about what they have to say.

Dr. Andrea King - Subjective and Biphasic Effects of Alcohol
Q: Can you explain the biphasic effects of alcohol?

Dr. Andrea King - Subjective and Biphasic Effects of Alcohol
Q: What are the subjective effects of alcohol and why are they important?
