  • Helpful and interesting but poor audio

    Great information shared succinctly! The only downside to this resource is the immense variability in audio quality from the hosts and guests.

  • Great but too short

    They are great episodes, but they are definitely too short. If they were 30 minutes that would be much better than the average 15 minute. Otherwise they’re great to listen to and very educational.

  • Excited to see this but unlistenable

    As a clinical psychologist, I was excited to see a podcast dedicated to disseminating scientific findings in a bite-size form. However, the audio is such poor quality it is completely unlistenable. Additionally, the episode I just attempted to listen to features an author who is completely undecipherable when they speak. I am tempted to send them a $100 microphone so this would be listenable - in terms of the audio quality at least.

  • Really great resource

    I really like being able to listen to these insightful, brief interviews that not only communicate the main idea of each paper but give you extra thoughts of the authors, who are the experts in their fields. Having them on my smart phone makes it so easy to keep up with important new data.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Systematic Umbrella Review and Meta-Meta-Analysis: Effectiveness of Physical Activity in Improving Depression and Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: JAACAP February 2026
Q: Could you maybe summarize those for us to try and give providers a sense of what types of exercise they should be thinking about for which types of patients?
For depression, mixed-type programs including aerobic and resistance exercises showed the largest benefits, while resistance training was particularly effective for anxiety.
Systematic Umbrella Review and Meta-Meta-Analysis: Effectiveness of Physical Activity in Improving Depression and Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: JAACAP February 2026
Q: I'm curious if you could contextualize those against the effect sizes for other treatments that we think about as first line for anxiety and depression?
Our research showed an effect size of 0.45 for depression and 0.39 for anxiety, which is comparatively moderate and suggests exercise can be equally or more effective than some medications and therapies.
Systematic Umbrella Review and Meta-Meta-Analysis: Effectiveness of Physical Activity in Improving Depression and Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: JAACAP February 2026
