This is one of my favorite podcasts. I enjoy the topics and the skillful way the host interviews guests. It’s a refreshing show and one I look forward to seeing in my podcast feed. Keep up the good work, DSM team!

Anna sale is an amazing interviewer. Her thoughtful questions are what we all wanna ask but are afraid to say, she does it artfully. The taboo topics are approached respectfully and we can all learn from each other’s life experiences. I don’t miss an episode and so glad they found a new home!!
Bring back the old episodes

The valentines episode is the 3rd time you have played that episode. Seriously? Another rerun with no new content this week. Replaying old episodes with zero new episodes is not podcasting. Such a dumb move. I’m miss when you talked about things like death, sex, and money. Now it’s just boring interviews with people no one has ever heard of. Bring back the juicy episodes! So many reviews say this, you gotta listen to us Anna! Stop interviewing boring people. Every week it’s a rerun or an interview with the worlds most boring person
Anna is a pro

Long time listener. Anna is the reason. She’s empathic, sharp, generous. But I have to say, the most recent episode about the overdose crisis felt odd. Anna definitely kept it on the rails; it was the guest I found really hard to listen to. I know his article was published by Slate, which I suspect was—at least partially—why he was booked. But a good portion of his points struck me as unfocused and contradictory. I was really trying to understand where he was coming from, but it was difficult, even coming from someone who has experienced serious mental health issues of her own. I think the reason why was there didn’t seem to be a mirroring of the kind of empathy Anna was extending in his direction. Her point about wanting her kids to be safe in cities where drug use is open, common, and effecting public health was met with a level of selfishness that shocked me so much, I almost stopped listening. “I don’t want my kids to die” she says. “I hear that” he says, “I don’t have kids and I’m never going to have kids…” This was a tough one for me. Glad I listened, but it definitely boiled my blood a bit. Did not make me feel the way I usually do after a DSM episode— enlightened, hopeful, closer to understanding another perspective.
