Customer Reviews
Low dose with huge effect size
I have been a longtime fan of the Carlat Report. It is engaging, highly practical, succinct, and--CRUCIALLY--free of industry influence.
The podcast formulates an already delightful format into bite sized morsels that are packed with flavor and highly satisfying.
I enjoy both the longer segments as well the 60 second podcasts.
Fantastic job! Keep up the great work.
