Great thoughtful podcast. Fascinating subjects. Host is very knowledgeable and refreshing as well as respectful of the subject he is investigating.
Julia Cowley’s behavior analysis drew me into finding this podcast, and then I really found myself appreciating many of the host’s questions. Such a truly great interview and podcast episode. Thank you both.
I think this podcast is engaging and thoughtful. Jayson seems to do his research and his guests appear comfortable. 5 stars from me. The episode with Donna Hall was OUTSTANDING!!
However I can’t listen to the adoptee. Boo-hoo. Cry me a river.
I love the positive, engaging podcast. The quality of discussion and the mix of topics explored is just right. There is depth, a clear-eyed look at sadness, joy, hope, and growth, this is rich. It is helping me reimagine. I appreciate Mr. Blair.
