The treatment offered by Stella for PTSD has no RTCs to show it’s effective yet it’s promoted by this podcast. Shame on you. We have enough quackery in psychology and suffering patients deserve evidence based treatments not scams.

This is a great podcast! It covers topics from a different angle and make some very interesting. The episode with the author of the book Exercised has been my favorite so far!

I found this series from a sister podcast, "New Books in History." I heard one podcast from each, and find them to be pretty good insofar as the quality of discussion. But, after listening to the episode "Compass of Pleasure" do have a few complaints. One is the quality of the interviewers microphone. It was worse than the author she was interviewing and I found it to be pretty distracting. The second was a little more baffling. She either didn't seem that interested, or didn't know how to continue the conversation in a very fluid way. As a result it felt a little bit more like a one-sided lecture than an actual discussion. I'll continue to listen to the podcast for the titles which interest me, but I hope it gets better by just being easier to listen to.

I enjoyed the interview with Jon Metzl. If they keep reviewing thought provoking books, the show has the ability to be awesome! Sound quality could use improvement. I look forawrd to more casts!

Just finished listening to the interview with Jonathan Metzl. Very good discussion and thought provoking subject. The audio quality could use improvement which is why I'm giving a 4 star rating. I look forward to hearing more from this service.
