  • Great podcast

    I started listening to Blindboy during covid when both my sisters recommended his mental health episodes. Then I started listening to the others and they’re so good.

  • Belly laughs & mindfulness

    Enjoyably varied. Funny and compassionate. We have our favourites on repeat. Still belly laugh at many of the personal stories.

We appreciate the consistent care about social justice, biodiversity and other issues that many podcasts avoid discussing because they are chasing what’s on trend instead of what matters. The random nature of the hot takes is a real breath of fresh air.
