Juicebox Podcast · Listener Survey
What listeners actually said.
Results from the Listener Impact Survey — an open, voluntary survey of self-selected Juicebox Podcast listeners about the podcast's effect on their physical and mental health. Everything reported below is self-reported and describes the people who chose to respond. The critical answers are shown with the same prominence as the kind ones; that's the point.
Overall impact
The two required questions, on a balanced scale. Bars are centered on "no impact" — orange extends toward positive, blue toward negative.
Physical health
Self-reported, from memory. Before/after comparisons are perceived change (retrospective pre-post), shown alongside what else changed in the same period.
Mental & emotional health
Current well-being uses the WHO-5 Well-Being Index (validated, 0–100; scores of 50 or below suggest reduced well-being). Change statements are original items, not validated instruments.
What hasn't worked
Asked directly, of every respondent — not volunteered. This section gets equal billing on purpose.
