Personality type talk, trends between types, tips on self-development and, in true ESFP fashion, random other unpredictable stuff.
The Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin podcast is truly a gem in the world of typology podcasts. With its blend of informative, heartfelt, and entertaining content, it offers an intelligent and refreshing perspective on typology that never talks down to its listeners. Hosted by the talented Kristin, this podcast provides a deep dive into the world of personality types, offering valuable insights without overwhelming or confusing its audience.
One of the best aspects of The Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin podcast is how informative it is. Unlike many other typology podcasts, this show goes beyond surface-level discussions and delves into the intricacies of different personality types. Kristin's expertise in the field shines through as she explores various theories and concepts, giving her listeners a well-rounded understanding of typology. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned typology enthusiast, there's always something new to learn from this podcast.
In addition to being informative, this podcast is also incredibly heartfelt. It's clear that Kristin has a genuine passion for helping people understand themselves and others better through typology. Her empathy and compassion come across in every episode as she shares personal anecdotes and encourages her audience to embrace their unique qualities. This heartfelt approach adds an extra layer of depth to the show and makes it feel like you're having a conversation with a close friend rather than simply listening to a podcast.
Furthermore, The Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin podcast is undeniably entertaining. With her witty sense of humor and engaging storytelling ability, Kristin keeps her listeners captivated from start to finish. The show strikes the perfect balance between educational content and lighthearted banter, making each episode thoroughly enjoyable. Whether you're looking for some laughter or deep introspection, this podcast delivers both in spades.
While there are few negatives about The Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin podcast, one possible drawback is the limited focus on certain personality types. As the podcast primarily revolves around MBTI typology, listeners who are seeking in-depth discussions about other typologies, such as Enneagram or Big Five, may feel slightly disappointed. However, considering the vast amount of content available within the MBTI realm, it's understandable that Kristin chooses to specialize and provide a focused approach.
In conclusion, The Literally No Subtext with Dear Kristin podcast is a truly outstanding addition to the world of typology podcasts. From its informative and heartfelt approach to its entertaining and engaging content, this show has something for everyone. If you're looking for an intelligent exploration of typology that never talks down to you, this podcast is the perfect choice. So sit back, relax, and let Dear Kristin guide you on a fascinating journey of self-discovery and understanding.

Today, I welcome fellow type-enthusiast and esteemed author, Joe Arrigo (aka "Ghost of Jung" on YouTube), to discuss the burden that is being an INTJ. Why do INTJs focus so much on the future, rather than the present moment? Do INTJs find it hard to touch base with their feelings? What do INTJs value in relationships? Dating advice, conflict management, and, of course, the million dollar question, “are you evil”? Joe also shares with us a bit about his writing process in crafting his type manifesto, “Marble and Sculptor”.

Today, we unpack the 8 Jungian cognitive functions with my own ever-developing understanding of what they are in essence, how they differ from one another and how they might present in individuals.

Today I welcome my ESTJ and ENTJ housemates to talk about all things Te! Are they really as bossy as their stereotypes say they are? How do they get in touch with their feelings?
