Stories would have been better without all the giggles and maniacal laughter. If you’re looking for a serious podcast on psychology, this isn’t it. Unfollowed.
I've been a long time listener and have enjoyed many episodes over the years. However, the episode about "conspiracy theorists" slanted as if they are lunatics running naked with machetes down the street, is where my journey ends. I found distasteful and incorrect. The fact is 99% of the so called conspiracies have been proven TRUE. So having a right wing nut bag guest talking about trying to reform a conspiracy theorist friend was completely trash. The fact that many on the left fail to acknowledge all these so called conspiracies are being proven true would have been a better more intriguing listen. Perhaps an "expert" could assist some of them to wake the f up and open their eyes, walk them thru the trenches of their mental illness and arrive in a bright shining field of conservative clarity. On a greater note, I cannot and will not support this podcast or any other avenue of right wing lunacy with my time or pocketbook. Bad mouthing the other side doesnt do your listenership any favors. Im sure im not the only listener who was lost in that train wreck of an episode. Adios Sana.
The music in the background that is supposed to reflect the tone is way too loud. Most budget YouTube videos can do it better where you don’t realize there is background music until like halfway through.
I’d give you five stars except for those background sounds because they are so distracting I miss entirely what is being said over them. Why in earth do you do that??
Lost all credibility when they threw Jordan Peterson under the bus. Apparently people can’t make strong claims unless they’re an “expert” guest on this podcast. In that case it’s okay. Hypocrites. Free speech on its way out. Agree with us or you’re an idiot 👌gaslighting at its finest.
Such an interesting and valuable podcast. They touch on all the topics I find in my own life. Everything is explained both in depth and in a way that is accessible to anyone.
I just started listening to this about three or four months ago. Binge watched a lot. I can't believe that she's leaving. I wish her many successes in her transition to a new life. I hope she knows how much we appreciate all the effort she put into every single episode.
Thank you so so so much for making so many of these. I look forward to them for forever! Thank you so much for doing such a fun and happy podcast.😃😃😃😃😆😆👍🏼
I love this show for its stories, varied perspectives, and well-researched information. My only issue is the frequent re-releasing of episodes, which clutter my subscription feed and make me forget what I have and haven’t listened to.
This is playing on my phone and won’t freakin go away!!! I’m trying to listen to something else and this won’t stop. How do I delete this podcast? If it worked I wouldn’t be so upset now! This totally defeats the purpose of it’s supposed calming affect!
This is where you get your cutting-edge psychology/neuropsycholgy news. This podcast has consistently been months or more ahead of its peers in explaining The Next Big Thing. Definetly check it out.
There's so many pods on health and many are a real bore, especially mental health ones. This is anything but; how refreshing! Each episode has held my rapt attention. This is my new favorite health pod. 5/5
Thanks to this podcast I have a lot more reading to do! I most love the interview with the man with locked-in syndrome. What an inspiring and interesting story. Excellent quality!
Based on my experience listening to psychology-based podcasts, this is by far my favorite. Ms. Malcom always seems to ask the very questions I would ask if I were with the subject. Enjoyable as well as top-notch educational.
This podcast is very interesting and synthesizes emotional and insightful sociological anecdotes with scientific research. Always fun to lsiten to and very informative. Love listening to this while I run!.
This is a highly informative podcast of a radio show all about the human brain. It's completely accessible to laymen, you need no neurology training to understand the content. I choose based on topic, as not every episode is to my particular taste.
I have the type of job where I can listen while I work. I have a better understanding of the importance of compassion since I started learning more about the brain. The quality of my life has improved. I'm not saying I can fly but this show has expanded my universe a great deal. Three of my favorites podcasts respectively are the ones on fear, consciousness and caffeine. I've listened about 10 times to the one about consciousness with nobel laureate Gerald Edelman and still don't get it. Time to read about his theory on neural Darwinism. I'm definitely inspired by your show. Great work!
Wow
These podcasts are addictive ... When I start a podcast, I simply fly into a strange lovely world of ideas and stories that I strongly wish to be involved in.
Simply, I love it.

I just had a 5 hour drive and caught up on the ones I couldn't listen to beforehand. The time flew by and I walked out of the car feeling brilliant! :)
Don't stop producing these!
I love that they include the sometimes very personal point of view of the people, not just doctors/social workers describing the diseases. And sometimes it's about social diseases, same treatment, the people who are involved are thoughtfully and kindly included. Thank you ABC Radio International.
I have been listening to this podcast for a few years. Natasha is one of the best. She ranks with Terry Gross (Fresh Air) and Krista Tippett (speaking of faith) as one of the most thoughtful interviewers available on podcasts. As a therapist, I look forward to new insights into the human mind, and agree this is a well produced show with good writing and much humanity. I wish PBS would pick up this show to give Natasha a solid american audience. The SF Bay Area would love her as much as I do. Good work, Austrialia Broadcasting
Natasha Mitchell is a vibrant, intelligent, curious and eloquent lady with a wonderfully well-rounded and entertaining show. She asks insightful questions because she is genuinely interested in each interview she does and researches thoroughly and thoughtfully (think Terry Gross, only Australian). Each topic is timely, considered from several viewpoints, and gives fascinating insight into the functions of our complex, multifaceted brains. She makes the science of the mind accessible to laypersons, yet complete enough to satisfy those of us who have studied psychology academically. The perfect podcast for anyone who likes to ponder the innerworkings of the human brain!
The disclaimer says the show is not aired in its original form due to copyright violations. What it doesn't tell you is that the show is completely different from the description and has nothing to do with what you anticipated.
It isn' just about pshychology or medical issues. You can listen to stories of/about ordinary people with extraordinary issues re: dealing with difficulties in life. It's medical journal and life stories all at one place. I love this show.
Great podcast! Highly informative. Just wondering why the more recent episodes are not being saved. I was listening to the article re philicide but it was erased by the newer one re: consciousness. Thanks.
This Aussie podcast is well done and thought through. At first I only occasionally listened to it when I had exhausted my normal favorites. But over the past few months it has really grown on me and I’ve adjusted to the Aussie personality to looking forward to each new podcast. Every week I find myself all over the internet learning more about that week’s topic. Even my non-science minded brother has started listening to it too.
