  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Excellent

    Excellent podcast that presents different DNA stories each episode. Its not drawn out and the stories are fascinating.

  • Interesting but dragged out

    Once again, a good concept and a couple of great stories, but the producers are greedy and dragged it out across too many episodes
