- You're in good hands
Alex is the real deal. Extremely smart and also entirely accessible. Listening to this show is like being part of a great book club—with the added bonus that sometimes the authors themselves show up! I especially love how thoughtful and intersectional Alex is, paying attention to race, class, gender, ability, and more.
Keep up the great work, Alex!

Loved this podcast and I am generally not a podcast person. Feel like as a society it is beneficial to converse more about death, as every one of us is going to die. As the podcast was ending found myself wanting it to continue❣️
