I’m a fan. I like everything about this podcast. I’m sitting here at work listening now. The interviews feel a little NPRish every once in a while - but, overall, Audie does a great job.

This episode was riveting from beginning to end. It spoke to so many of the real and perceived cultural traumas of our tunes. Why did it take so long for the psychology world to “get it”? Loved it!!!

Absolute BEST Podcast I’ve ever heard
