  • An excellent, thought provoking listen

    I am a newcomer to this podcast and I found it by listening to the interview with Dr James Hollis, which was excellent.

    I have since listened to several more interviews.

    I love the gentle, intelligent, incisive reflections and I always learn lots.

    Thank you for sharing wisdom in the way you do.

  • SO insightful

    I like to think I’m emotionally intelligent but I still learned loads from Andrew G Marshall’s discussion with Dr Samantha Roden Whiten. Thank you both.

  • A thoughtful approach to finding meaning in turbulent times

    Andrew is a gentle, intelligent and thoughtful host, and his obvious deep preparation for each guest makes this podcast a really rewarding experience for the listener, and for the guests too it seems. His range of guests is impressive and unusual and looks as he interrogates what it means to seek a meaningful life in these tumultous and confusing times.
