    SO great! This is a beautifully done, well produced series of incredible stories. Leslie is a great interviewer who enhances- but doesn’t get in the way of the stories. I have simply loved so many of these episodes.

  • Love Daphne Selfe episode!

    I love this episode and this podcast in general! I’m sure this is only a problem for people like me with a language processing disorder but the only thing I didn’t like was the music playing all throughout the dialogue. Other than that, FANTASTIC!
