Customer Reviews
Woah
This podcast is so informative and easy to listen to. Feels like just chit chatting with your pals- love it
Great vibe and great knowledge = a win
Neither a doctor nor a historian. I just like a great, easy to listen to podcast about something relevant. Nailed it!!!
What can I say? A fair amount. The podcast is short enough to make it feel like a casual conversation during a hangout. The content is solid yet does not assume the listeners need a PhD to know what they are talking about. These two women also get that answers will continue to unfold. What we know now is just a starting point. We are always on a path to understand just a little bit more. Again, sounds like a great chat we get to listen to without being creepy. I want more.
The podcast I’ve been dreaming of
Where to start? The hosts are immediately endearing and charming to an unprecedented level. You want to hear every last word and thought they’ve ever had, and then you cry when the episode ends because it was that good.
If you love sex positivity, inclusive healthcare, history, anthropology, and all things delightful, this is the podcast for you.
Will be sharing with friends and patients alike!
