“Intolerable host - why bother interviewing brilliant lovely people like Jessie Cave but then just speaking over them constantly? Never listens / interviews, just talks about herself constantly.”

“It’s great to listen to people being so honest about their mental health. As a fully paid up member of the depression club I think it will help towards breaking down the stigma and also persuaded me to buy “Cheer Up Love” (also highly recommend).”

“These podcasts have helped me identify the strange notions/ thoughts/ symptoms I have and look for ways to reduce them.
I identify with Susan when she reports that the “good” aspects of her anxieties/ depression make her a caring and lovely person.
Carry on the good work.”
