    Hi Jemma, such a great show, I love it. Im a therapist and the way you break down complex psychology concepts makes it even better for the mass audience to understand. I know its research based (five stars to that as well) but you dont make it sooo obvious and sterile? Hope that makes senses

  • HSP

    Halal Snack Pack. Pleeeeeease do not have offer praise for HSP when you define yourself as one like it’s a horoscope. Many HSP’s are totally self centred, rude, insufferable and dull. There is absolutely NO category that is “good” and not also “bad”. This ep was so biased and self congratulatory as to be no better than a horoscope. Not science. Junk.

  • Way Too Many Ads

    When I first started listening to the show there was barely any advertisement and the listening experience was great. HOWEVER, now it’s full of ads and it almost feels like I have to find solid content among a sea of ads. I hate it. I find myself unable to listen to it any longer. Jemma I’m glad you’re earning good money but just so you know there is a limit to how much ads is tolerable for the audience.
