  • Excellent Production, Evocative, and Thought Provoking

    Wonderfully produced and very easy to listen to. I really liked the fiction/nonfiction blend aspect of the writing. I appreciate having something to spur my own thoughts on a topic such as this, which can be so tense to actually discuss with friends and loved ones. I do wish that the ending was left more vague.

The beautifully interwoven interviews range from personal and familiar, to funny and charming, to informative and thought-provoking, challenging and heartbreaking, searingly hopeful. The artful bending of fiction and non-fiction is unlike anything I’ve heard before, and the level of vulnerabili... more
