  • Absolutely loved the Daniel Levitin interview

    This is always a fantastic podcast.

    I especially loved the episode with Daniel Levitin on Music as Medicine.

    Full of wonderful information, backed by science and I loved the humour. Thank you Julia, you have such a beautiful interviewing style and it’s so wonderful that we get to witness your skill as a psychologist in these shows. Your daughters too.

    Highly recommended
