Grace is amazingly brave. Such an important episode. Well done to her for telling her story.
Paul has such a lovely genuine manner with his guests. Always interesting conversations and not the normal round of interviewees found on most podcasts
‘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!
