  • Emotionally charged and biased

    Science? This is very emotionally charged and negatively biased. Could have the potential to be an excellent podcast, except everything is experiential opinion. Not sure if that is the aim? This isn’t a great dissemination of information.

  • Best addiction podcast!!

    It's wonderfully refreshing to hear from a clinician with a progressive, harm reduction approach. I'm so sick of the disempowering, abstinence only, ineffective traditional treatment paradigm. Keep up the great work!

  • Awful - Waste of Time

    What a waste of time! Guys, stick to an agenda and have some discipline. You only had enough content for a 20-30 minute podcast. No one wants to listen to you ramble on and on for two hours.
