I love the show and purpose and the stories. Constructive criticism?…it’s distracting to have the guest interrupted. Let them tell the story without interrupting. I’m still giving 5 stars!
Luke is incredibly easy to talk to and genuinely interested in his guests’ stories. He’s the real deal, open, authentic, and willing to share his own experiences in a way that deepens the conversation. The result is an honest, comfortable dialogue that feels meaningful rather than performative.
I really connected today with Luke around his story and my story. I hope this helps people who have problems, whether doctors or patients.
Thanks for this well articulated account of your own story and for the work you're doing here. Hearing the stories others tell helps us all be gentler and more understanding whether we've experienced trauma ourselves or not.
I like this podcast, but I don’t really like the fact that the “narrators” kind of but in and ask questions.
