  • Warm, Tender, escapism

    I am so glad I found this podcast. I have only listened to the Clover Stroud one so far and teared up multiple times. As a mother to an 18 month old daughter, Clover's description of the love you feel for your children resonated with me so much. A great podcast to make you reflect on your relationship with your own mother and your children, and pure warmth. I have been trying to consume more positive media with everything going on in this scary world at the moment - this is definitely it.
