- Apology
Long time listener. I really enjoy this thoughtful podcast. It sounds like you owe Aaron an apology. Extra star for you if you do because that would be the classy move.

Podcast Addict55 months agoDMS- Usually interesting
Informed information on cults, but I’ve come to avoid the podcasts with Jon Atack for two reasons. First, I heard him talk about a subject that I know something about and he’d misunderstood some aspects. Consequently I mistrust what he says about subjects I know nothing about. Secondly, he tends to turn a conversation away from a topic to talking about himself and he really is old enough to have got over himself by now.

My husband and I watched our boy( kitty) cross the rainbow bridge in 2017. He was our oldest baby and we adored him. He was a kitty shaman who would use accu-pressure/puncture when we got sick and when I had my tubes tied. I love your podcast and have listened and enjoyed EVERY EPISODE. So glad to know that your the type of guy who would be emotionally devastated by the death of a furry family member. Keep it up! You’re a truly great person…❤️

I cannot recommend this podcast enough. I listen to a ton of podcasts and this is one of the best out there. Content is well presented, interviews are interesting and thoughtful and the long format means the information unfolds naturally. Chris also has a fantastic podcast voice making listening to him very pleasant.
