  • Guests are way smarter than him

    ‘I see it I see it’

    ‘Wow’

    That’s the level of insight and enquiry you get on this show. A total waste of time. Listen to proper psychologists instead

  • Warmhearted & Important Conversations

    I’ve just listened to the Gypsy-Rose Blanchard episode and can hand-on-heart say I’ve never heard such a kind, compassionate and important conversation about trauma and mental health. It clearly meant a lot to Gypsy-Rose herself, and I truly commend Paul for his warm, judgement-free and person-centred interview style.

  • All lies and manipulation

    This man allowed a convicted murderer on his show and clearly did ZERO research on FACTS prior to interviewing her. Gypsy Rose took full advantage of the situation and lied throughout the ENTIRE podcast! How embarrassing for him!

  • GRB

    You didn’t do your research on GRB. The facts are out there. Housewives in the true crime community have done a better job of exposing the facts on this case than any journalist or cop. GRB is a compulsive liar, she alters the narrative to make herself the victim. If you had done any amount of research you would have asked better questions. Disappointing!
