Therapist Uncensored Podcast

Sue Marriott and Ann Kelley are two clinicians who built this podcast independently, without a network behind them, and it still landed in Apple's Top 10 Social Science podcasts with over 11 million downloads globally. That's a testament to the quality of what they're doing. The show brings on neuroscientists, relationship researchers, and mental health experts for in-depth conversations about attachment theory, secure relationships, and the science behind why people connect the way they do. The format is interview-based, with episodes releasing biweekly. Marriott and Kelley have a natural rapport that makes the conversations feel like you're eavesdropping on two really smart friends processing ideas together. Sue in particular has a gift for metaphor and gentle explanation that helps complex neuroscience concepts land without feeling dumbed down. The show notes are excellent too, with timestamps, resource lists, and links to research papers for anyone who wants to go deeper. With 299 episodes spanning nearly a decade, the back catalog is substantial. The 4.7 star rating from 1,360 reviews reflects an audience that skews toward people who want more than surface-level mental health advice. There's a premium community membership that offers ad-free episodes and exclusive content, but the free feed is plenty robust on its own. This is the show for listeners who want to understand not just what to do in relationships, but why their brain and nervous system respond the way they do.
