Recent Reviews
  • Regina Levy
    Stilted
    The guests and topics are generally very good, but the interviewer is either unwilling or unable to engage in an actual conversational exchange. It feels like questions are written in advance and read on air. There are almost no followup questions. As a result, episodes feel scripted and stilted. For examples of what a good podcast interview sounds like, see, for instance, Sean Carroll’s Mindscapes podcast or People I Mostly Admire with Steven Levitt.
  • Manlove50
    Appreciate the podcasts.
    I have a 44 y.o. son with schizoaffective disorder and it is a challenge to be an effective parent Any practical physician advice to someone in this circumstance is greatly appreciated. I am a nurse practitioner but psychiatry is not my specialty It’s helpful to listen to practicing psychiatrists discuss medication and side effects. Keep up your good work!
  • rabidmoderate
    June podcast
    Devoid of meaningful content. Really a striking contrast from the interview w Dr Kendler, who was eloquent and informative. This one was full of jargon a missed opportunity to something insightful and specific about structural racism.

    September 2017 Highlights
    I loved this podcast, it was very interesting since it provided curious information about a handful of topics that we learn in college. I will recommend it to all my college students peers. It was very reliable since it referred to academic and research-based resources. It was very clear and easy to understand when explaining the basic concepts and the results of the studies conducted. The most valuable factor about this podcast is that they provided recent information from multiple sources to allow the listener to form their own opinions.
  • Alessa Bart
    American Journal of Psychiatry
    The American Journal of Psychiatry does an excellent job of clearly summarizing current events in the psychiatric field while still providing informative details on each topic. This podcast shares a wide variety of different journals and research studies, perfect for any medical student or those interested in psychology. The stories are up to date and credible, coming directly from the journal's publications. Listening is a perfect way to stay informed on new findings in the field of psychiatry.
  • Bressiabo
    September 2017 Review
    This podcast was very informative and seems like the type of podcast that would be listened to by the academic audience, specifically: psychiatrists, psychologists, and majors in either study. This podcast seems very reliable and like a good source for those who need to keep updated in this information.
  • MariaMclp
    American journal of psychiatry
    This podcast highlights important topics. Supported with good studies and research. It is clear and concise, separated in parts that let me know what I am learning about. It has a variety of topics, such as the healthcare for undocumented immigrants to substance abuse in ADHD. It is catered to academics professionals and students. I rate the reliability and credibility five stars. It has good information and studies to back it up. It is an interesting podcast because it touches on different studies and highlights things most people wouldn’t know.
  • rodriguez,josue- team blue
    Great Podcast
    Everything about the podcast was amazing, the evidence is all there and so are the questions, however they did a marvelous job for the transitions of the podcast. Overall it was great and I hope to keep up with it
  • julinuli
    happy face
    The clarity of this podcast/interview was very clear and could be well understood. I do not believe the podcast is catered to a specific group just anyone who is interested in sociopathy and psychopathy possibly psychologists or people who want to make a job out of things like this. Dr. Fallon has been doing his job for years so i do believe this is very credible. This podcast is very entertaining and kept me up through it all. I am very interested in how crooked people can be it is shocking to me and it keeps me very intrigued.
  • iBlazzeKarma
    Very informative
    This podcast was clear and straight forward about the various disorders that exist in our society today. This podcast can be used for any one seeking information or is interested in the mental health field. However, this podcast may be used for teaching purposes due to the amount of data and trial studies that is presented. This podcast can also be used at the advantage of students or professionals in the mental health field that wants to know the latest findings in this field. This would be an outstanding source to use for writing papers or just for self-knowledge because of its factual credibility. This podcast is also very reliable due to the sourcing they use when presenting data as well as the live interviews with doctors and other professionals who helped contribute to the studies. In the end, this podcast was very interesting because I’ve learned many things on topics that I didn’t even know existed. Very pleased I had the opportunity to listen to this podcast!

    February 2018 - The American Journal of Psychiatry
    The podcast was well organized and easy to understand and follow. It was clear and explained each topic in detail. The group that the podcast is targeting leans more towards professionals but can be useful for students who are in the field. It gives information about recent research and suggest better practicing methods (during the ADHD session) I found the podcast to be interesting because I provided me with new knowledge and information about depression therapy. I also learned that symptoms displayed in ADHD can be similar to drug use.
  • Monica1152
    Love the topics
    This podcast presents very interesting topics and I can find myself becoming an avid listener. The host does a good job of staying unbiased and simply presenting the findings of each study. I enjoy that the podcast is easy to follow and understand, so whether you are a student or a professional in the psychology field this podcast is for you. However, I did find myself having to constantly rewind and have to listen again to what was said. This could be an audio issue which can easily be fixed. Other comments mentioned how the host seems to be reading from a script or sounds unnatural, which I would have to agree with. For these reasons I am rating it 4 stars.
  • tuckjosh
    Best psychiatry podcast on here
    Only critique I have is that the editor seems TOO much to be reading from a script. It feels very staged. Content is very well-delivered though.
  • Yuck579
    Painful to listen to.
    The way the narrator reads the material makes me cringe. I wish it could just be read like a normal person and not a robot.
  • SackAckAck
    Minimally engaging
    While appreciate having a podcast to present this interesting content, it's not a very engaging podcast. I'd strongly encourage AJP to try a two-host format, where one host explains an article to the other host, who asks clarifying questions, and then they switch roles for the next article. Annals of Emergency Medicine uses this format for their podcast, and it makes for a MUCH more engaging and educational listening experience, without markedly increasing the work required to produce the podcast.
  • snowkhat
    Smooth jazz psychiatry
    Wow, this is the most boring medical podcast yet. Please, please change the format and host. I can't get through 30 seconds of the pod without getting completely annoyed with the cadence & tone.
  • David Bar
    Not what you would want
    Overall the podcast offers good content, but as others have mentioned there are several problems. Often I'm not able to get the podcast to start or if I stop midway I can't get back to it later, unless I start from the beginning. The discussions are sometimes too long and should instead be more focused and to the point. Would recommend APA looking at the Neurology podcast which has a much more dynamic format, with interviews and a topic of the month where each week an expert is interviewed.

    My favorite podcast
    The quality of the presentation, sound, and substance are superb. I listen to these podcast every month.

    Informative
    I like this podcast. The material is interesting and presented in a good way. Not amazing but definitely worth your time if psychiatry is an interest.
  • brocoli55
    Audio May/09 Postpartum depression
    The review is excellent, informative, useful and kept my attention all through the audio episode. Susan K. Schultz, is an excellent speaker. English is my second language and I appreciate tremendously when the speaker pronounces the words as a virtuoso pianist play the piano. Susan is a virtuosa of the speech. Very frequent the speaker mumbles. Very bad defect. Dont forget that this country is highly cosmopolitan. Foreigns appreciate the efforts to communicate clearly.
  • Wangdu
    Important information, sedating presentation.
    The information being presented is essential for good psychiatric care, but it is very hard to maintain attention over 30 minutes when one person softly reads the synopsis of each of the studies. For hypnotic induction, this would not be a bad approach. However, having a couple of people alternating stories, or having a discussion between a couple of speakers would make this a much better podcast.
  • ElaineK
    A good overview
    A very good summary of each issue of the AJP, and always interesting. The information is presented clearly, getting the main ideas across without going into too much detail that non-psychiatrists wouldn't be able to understand. My only complaint about this podcast is that the presenters can be a bit difficult to listen to: the woman's voice is very wispy and the man speaks with a slight lisp, things that may prevent some listeners from subscribing. It is this that prevents me from giving the podcast a five star rating. Overall, a very good podcast.
