  • Real

    Just one of the best podcasts out there for real life in society. I’m so glad it came back to life, the pause was too long. I just hope the team takes its time and doesn’t rush season 5.

His voice matched the highs and lows of his story which made it flow perfectly along with his weaving the past and present together. The profound l... more

  • wait what

    it seems antithetical to the spirit of this series to include the interviewer questioning the actions and motives of someone telling their story. is that a virtue signal? it's also disrespectful to the listener in that it seems to assume they need instruction on what is "unacceptable" or "problematic". Please, we're not college freshmen.
