  • Brilliant

    A truly brilliant podcast that is both emotional and laugh-out-loud funny. I came across it as I’m working on my Master’s dissertation on internal stigma experienced by people living with HIV, and it resonated deeply with my research. The podcast tackles heavy, often silenced topics with warmth, honesty, and humour, making it not only informative but profoundly human.

  • Absolutely Amazing

    Listening to these incredible stories, which Dan elicits with empathy and tenderness, is insightful and inspiring. Many of the stories the interviewees tell are of love, hope and life in the face of so much adversity. They have made me laugh at loud with them, and cry buckets of tears as it strikes to the heart how lonely and terrifying it can be. Massive congratulations to Dan. I imagine that these stories will be of solace to others worldwide & an education we all need for more empathy and bet... more

  • Timely bulletins

    Dan Hall’s subtle survey of the HIV landscape packs a huge punch. Fed entirely by personal stories, not statistics or headlines, it not only reminding us how brutal and ignorant much early treatment of those with HIV were but how that brutality continues in sweeping aid cuts to countries where the diagnosis is still often a death sentence. It is not only making me feel my age but reminding me how lucky I am to be alive.
