‘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
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.
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!
Paul is a beautiful kind person and always treats his guests with respect and love. Just listened to gypsy rose podcast it was epic literally best thing I’ve listened to in so long. What she went through is unfathomable and the way Paul handled the interview was top tier. Keep it up xx
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!
