  • Beautiful Conversations

    The Psyche Podcast is a wonderful space for listening—care-full conversations with brilliant scholars and thinkers, this podcast is one of the best I’ve had the privilege of discovering. Love the Lacan-centric episodes in particular, but I’ve really enjoyed most of them.

    Quique is an excellent facilitator and host; the way that Quique allows the conversations to develop organically is really beautiful. I’ve learned so much from this show and look forward to the continued conversations! Thanks... more

    This is fast becoming a go-to podcast. Guest quality is off the charts, especially for a newer, indie pod. Autrey is gaining traction as a host. The Boothby episodes should be enshrined in some Hall of Fame.
