- Dr Em’s episodes interrupted
I always look forward to Dr Emily’s episodes with her insightful and practical episodes. But so often I’m left feeling disappointed and frustrated when hosts Hugh and Ryan spoil them by repeatedly interrupting with self indulgent anecdotes and jokes that aren’t even funny. Such a shame. I feel like Dr Emily only gets to say a fraction of the super helpful info she has prepared because of these regular interruptions.

Apple Podcasts5Luke from NSWAustralia3 months ago - Offensive noise
Thanks for the hideous pounding drum beat at the start of the interview. I didn't realise that I had to watch out for such aggression from those who advocate vulnerability. How does that work, exactly? Anyway, purely in the interests of protecting my ears, I've unsubscribed.
Apple Podcasts1TupppiAustralia3 months ago - these guys are wonderful.
I downloaded a pod on a particular subject and it was these guys- and i am so glad i did. Just the right combo of heart and snark to keep me interested. You can tell they are genuinely decent human beings and i am here for it.
