Such an amazing podcast .
A beautiful and poignant podcast that everyone - particularly the religious - could benefit by listening too. I just finished the podcast and I’m unexpectedly standing here crying. Podcasts are so often a medium simply to entertain, but one that makes us reflect and more importantly feel, is a very special podcast indeed! Well done Simon! I also really enjoyed the way you wove your own personal story through the telling of Alana’s.
This podcast is heart breaking and yet it will help mend hearts at the same time . Alana’s story is shared so beautifully and thoughtfully.
This is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for sharing yours and Alana’s story.
Thank you for sharing Alana and your story. I experience similar trauma from being in Courage and being bullied. You helped me process my trauma by listening to your podcast. I hope the Catholic Church continues to build a bridge to create reconciliation with the LGBTQ community, spread love, and make a space of belonging and acceptance for people’s authentic selves.
