Enjoyed but would recommend shorter episodes

I found this podcast an SLP grad student. I enjoyed it but if I could offer one piece of feedback, it would be to break up longer episodes into shorter episodes of 30-40 minutes for a more digestible format. The episode I tuned into was an hour and thirty minutes long and covered several different topics that might have been separated out. Thank you!

Easy access to research

I really appreciate having podcasts like this that I can listen to driving to clients’ homes or whenever I have a little downtime. I like that they cover a range of topics. Because though I am busy (like all of us) it would be good to have a little more straight talk and a little less witty banter. That’s just my preference but overall good info. Thanks!

Favorite Speech Podcast!

*Likes*: Perfect speech podcast for a long commute! The three hosts represent different settings, and each episode is broken into fun segments to keep things moving! I disagree with those saying “not enough research talk”- i’d jump out of my car onto the highway if I had to listen to an hour of straight research back-to-back. *Dislikes*: The intro/sign off music from the first season or so—at least it didn’t sound like the American Horror Story theme song, like the informed SLP’s intro. D: *Requests*: Another episode diving deeper into EF, with Mike!
