Your Listener
Your Listener is hosted by John Cuturilo, a counsellor at Your Listener Counselling in Melbourne, Australia. The podcast explores psychology, mental health, critical thinking, and social issues. John explains how the mind works and how errors in thinking can shape what we assume to be true. He encourages listeners to think critically, take responsibility for their flaws, separate criticism of ideas from judgment of people, and learn to live in harmony with those who think differently. The show also aims to build detailed, complex knowledge rather than reducing ideas to empty slogans.
