Fascinating topic, great poduction
Podcast Addict56 months agokokella- Interesting but…
Just listening to this thinking some of the people interviewed sound incredibly unwell in terms of their mental well-being. Its an interesting but at times very uncomfortable listen.

United Kingdom9 months ago - Could have been better
This is a great topic. However, the people interviewed for some episodes feel like they were selected for the sake of drama rather than thoughtful exploration of the topic. There is a line between interviewing people who are hurt by an issue to get a genuine understanding of it and interviewing people who may be further harmed by the publication of their interview. At time, I felt this line was crossed.
