Radical Advice is a weekly advice show mixed in with socio-political commentary, education about the human psyche, smashing the patriarchy, and lots of resistance (but not the kind therapists complain about).
A Therapist Walk Into a Bar is a podcast that brings therapy to you. I am a San Francisco based psychotherapist who likes to get out of my office, grab my microphone, and find people in bars to chat with about the best and the worst of life.

Whether you're in the car, on a walk, in the waiting room, or lying in bed, we'll be here to keep you company alon ...
