One of the best podcasts I’ve came across. Clear, precise, extremely interesting. Lovely narrators, also researchers and scientists. Thank you so much, can’t wait for other series on depression and mindfullness
Deep thinking, focus and the stringent application of logic are required to produce a podcast of this quality. The myriad thoughts have been distilled and presented in a language accessible to all. Do I have the competence to judge? To an extent, yes. Now 66 I have suffered from depression since the age of 19
This podcast finally explained depression and how to get better. I'm so much better now,and I have Oxford University to thank. Great listen.
Really easy listen. Informative & helpful.
These guys know what they are taking about. I’ve learned a lot of things / ideas I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise. Each episode is a wealth of information and his voice is very easy to listen to.
