- Thanks guys!
That affirming feeling when one of my favourite pods has a host from another favourite pod on as a guest! I love every episode of the imperfects, but this recent one with Jan Fran was so moving I had to leave a review!

Nodded and sobbed my way through your chat with the wonderful force that is Jan Fran. I also see my young girls in all the children of Gaza and Lebanon - my heart aches in a way I never knew it could. The futility I feel is, at times, all consuming. The only community I have to lean on is the online community as all my friends have looked away a long time ago and can’t engage with the daily horrors of what Israel is doing anymore. Thank you so much for this episode and the feeling of community a... more
Apple Podcasts5NicEll51Australia2 months ago - Declining
Really likeable hosts; I appreciate Aussie men putting themselves out there and creating space for empathy, mental health, and vulnerability discussions, but as a single childless person I’m getting bored with the marriage and kids chat, and the hosts make the conversation too much about themselves. I also think they can be funnier and less earnest all the time. If this is an honest snapshot of how sheltered metro men are I’m not the target market but just disappointing I guess.

Devoured 3 episodes on drive from Sydney to Melbourne. Laughed, stopped and took notes and took away so much rich wisdom. Love your warmth and mellow voices. Really value Dr Em’s sessions. Thanks.
Apple Podcasts5RoggletAustralia2 months ago - Josh, you’re smiling :)
What a wonderful podcast you are all running, thank you for sharing and empowering your audience. And what a gift it is to hear a smile in your voice Josh, thank you for being so vulnerable all those months ago when you shared your diagnosis - I can hear your smile in recent episode again.
