Hits all the right notes

I’ve been following Ross McIntosh for a while because I’m aware of his work in the field of psychology, but I hope others outside the field catch these podcasts too. Ross is a wonderfully warm and engaging interviewer who seems to ask all the right questions to elicit great information from his expert guests but the interviews still feel like a conversation over a coffee that we’ve all accidentally tuned into, but now that we’re here, we’re definitely staying to hear the end of these amazing stories. With each of his episodes, I’ve felt like I’ve learned a lot about the real person behind their books, research or clinical work as well as all kinds of cool new ideas about everyday topics I really care about anyway. And all of it seems to be expertly woven together so that we all learn some important and interesting things but we also really enjoy it. Hurray for Ross McIntosh! Keep ‘em coming!!! Who knew learning could be this much fun?!
