“I wanted to enjoy this show, but Patrick never NEVER shuts up! I’m not joking; he will blab for 20 minutes at a stretch. Dude has SERIOUS this-is-more-of-comment-than-a-question kinda energy.”

“I love this podcast so much! Every time I see another one is out, I know I’m in for a treat. My only issue is with their format choice - the style of beginning each episode with a really long “teaser” clip (from midway through) can be really disorienting. I wish I consistently knew how long it...”Read full review »

“I wanted to enjoy this show, but Patrick never NEVER shuts up! Get out of the way, don’t talk for 20 minutes at a time, and let Abby of guests have a word, please.”

“Great content on left politics and psychoanalysis, which provides entry points for people well-versed in this field and those with new interest. Episodes with guests tend to be the strongest, if only because they are more likely to minimize randy and/or twee and/or self-indulgent digressions by...”Read full review »

“Where’s the analysis? I’m a psychiatrist trained in the psychodynamic tradition. I kept waiting for the guest to say something that was not a product of common sense and psychology 101. On your show, which I do like, people smuggle a lot in under the umbrella of psychoanalysis. I think you...”Read full review »

“Good show, but the episodes can be hit or miss. I’ve found the “hit” episodes are driven by Patrick Blanchfield’s interests and insights. The “misses” are episodes led by Abby. Patrick’s intellect is the key to what the show gets right. Abby feels more like a smart, talented, but ultimately...”Read full review »

“Was listening to an episode and it took them over an hour just to get through the title of the essay they were supposed to be examining. Endless preludes and hedging before they examine any psychoanalytic idea.”

“I was so excited when this podcast began, and loved the idea of being systematically led through foundational psychoanalytic concepts in relation to contemporary life, politics, and concerns, but it seems to have veered off track to the point where I find most episodes unlistenable. I keep...”Read full review »

“The male host’s voice is way too low in volume, whereas everyone else’s voice is way too high in volume. I find myself constantly pressing the volume up or down depending on who is talking. He also tends to mumble stuff really fast, rendering whatever he’s saying unintelligible, unless I slow...”Read full review »

“In its own rights, this show is extremely good, easily one of my favourite podcasts and most likely THE best podcast about psychoanalysis i’ve come across
However, the patreon-exclusive series (which i believe is being drip-fed into the free feed) “Reading The Standard Edition” is on another...”Read full review »

“I wanted to like this podcast but the multiple “like” fillers made it unlistenable to me. I had a professor in college who, when students kept inserting “ like” in their comments would point a finger and say “ no like”. By the end of the semester the “ like” tics were mostly gone. I’m pointing a...”Read full review »

“Wanted to like since I’m also a fan of Know Your Enemy. The vocal fry is excessive. I know people say it’s sexist to remark on this, but I think that’s laughable. I’m a woman who manages to speak without this affect. Part of a podcaster’s job is to speak clearly and in a way that doesn’t distract...”Read full review »

“Pros: The show is at its best when it’s like my perfect mother!
Cons: My only critique is when it’s like my terrible father!
Seriously, it’s really helpful to have people, specifically leftists, who’ve read a lot of Freud break apart his individual works and explain them in...”Read full review »
