Customer Reviews
Deep and wideranging
Dr. D is a fabulous interviewer - Curious, attuned, sensitive - his questions are gently deep and it’s a pleasure to listen in. He’s got a gift for inviting fascinating and uncommon guests onto his podcast - do seek out the one with Caits Meissner - and I felt lucky to be one of his guests as well - to have his inquisitive and playful attention beamed onto me.
What an amazing conversation!
I truly loved talking with Dr. D. He is open and curious in the best of possible ways. I think he covers some tough topics with respect and interest and highly recommend checking out not just my episode but any of them… he is just that good!
Refreshing and uplifting!
Dr Darian’s podcast is one of my favourites! I love the diversity of guests he has, the variety of topics discussed, and the genuine interest he shows! Each episode brings a breath of fresh air and lots to think about! I was honoured to be a guest for one episode and have been enjoying listening to the podcast ever since. Highly recommend!
