Stephen O. • Podcast Delivery • Apr 4, 2022
"There's nothing complicated with this podcast or its premise so if a no-frills info session is what you're looking for, you'll benefit from giving this a listen. Fraser does one thing well – he frames each episodes' topic like it's meant for a 5-year-old but steers clear of being overly reductive or patronizing. He keeps things light and fun, and broadly educational."

"There’s nothing like the soft, reassuring voice of an NPR host to make you feel more intelligent, so Doug Fraser is perfect...Particularly useful is his interview with therapist Lori Gottlieb on overcoming tricky childhoods."
