My favorite podcast

I'm struggling with depression and I've listened to each and every episode of the MIHH and it has helped me to understanand forgive myself so so much over the years! Thanks Paul! Your work is an inspiration! Love from Germany!

Karen128636 ,

Poul you are great

I love this podcast. Honest, vulnerable, funny and deep.
Keep up the amazing work!

IAMNOTTINATURNER ,

Interessante samtaler

Anbefaler blandt andet den fuldstændigt fantastiske episode 232 hvor journalisten Mary O´Hara taler om sin opvækst blandt katolsk arbejderklasse i 1970ernes Belfast, om IRA, om kick ass nonner, om at bryde den sociale arv og om at sætte overklasse drengene på Oxford på plads.

Ganske enkelt Awesome!
