  • Appalled by Israel/Palestine Commentary

    As an American Jew, I am appalled by Julie doubling down on Israeli State propaganda (for a second time) on the latest “Emotional Dysregulation” episode. The first one aired July 27th 2025 and the second aired September 7th. Why am I still listening lol ! I was waiting for the hosts to maybe correct themselves. Recycling Netanyahu’s propaganda does not help the Jewish people. Julie takes a stand for the state of Israel without any mention (yet again) of the genocide in Gaza.

  • Longtime listener leaving

    Enjoyed the content for a longtime; however, the opinions the hosts shared on Gaza showed a lack of critical thinking and biases I can’t ignore.

  • Almost good

    This podcast could be good but it’s difficult to listen to due to all the background noise. I don’t know what he’s doing while he’s talking - there’s papers rustling and he’s moving or walking around and doing goodness knows what - and it’s really really distracting.
