| 0:16.5 | But first, let me introduce the podcast. |
| 0:18.4 | This is called the Psychology in Seattle podcast. |
| 0:21.4 | I'm your host, Dr. Kirkondaonda i'm a therapist and a professor this email is from patron reuben rubin writes |
| 0:28.4 | what are the 20 most important episodes in your life that made you the person you are now |
