Just enough detail to get the gears turning!
I like the Life Kit’s format, host, and the variety of subjects. Some of my favorite episodes were with the author of The Shift, about finding ways to reduce stress, what to say to a friend who’s grieving, and tips from Bake Off Judge Pru Leif for home cooks. At the end of each episode is a little recap, which I appreciate. The host has a genuineness I really like. I have shared more episodes of this show with friends and family members than any other podcast.
This subject couldn’t have come at a better time. Thanks for bringing it!
