ALBC is informative in one major way. They remind me with each story how easy it is to fall under control of ideas not your own. how easy it is to fall into groups that monetize and try to take your lives over. They never stop reminding their listeners to treat each other “kindly.” To ask questions and to listen. You don’t need to agree with everything. They don’t expect it. They just ask that you listen.
We need more truth telling to power.
Keep going!
I’ve listened since season one and I recognize personal growth in the hosts. Nippy is a bit patriarchal, but I do see that he tries to fight it. In the past, I would say he tried to mask it. Although, in a recent episode with Dr. Ingrid, Sarah asked Nippy if it was scary when she got angry. She should know better than to expect Nippy to admit any sort of weakness. It only comes out if he’s in control of the narrative. That would be my only negative mark against the show. Nippy, listen to learn ... more
I love listening to Sarah and Nippy-I would say I have listened to just about every podcast they have done. They have a knack for picking guests. They are great bantering back and forth -and great at interviewing guests!
There's so much in these episodes that helps me reflect on my life, consider my choices, learn why i do what i do and understand humanity better.
I really wanted to like this. However it does not compare to the better culd podcasts available. Listened to almost 70 episodes, new and old. Hosts are way too pleased with themselves, and not in a charming way. Guests would often contradict themselves. Lots of nothing is absolute, except when they say it, then there are no exceptions. Just feels too preachy and like they must be followed. Maybe they are just a little too culty for me.
