Consistently compelling, deep but largely accessible conversations with fascinating guests with a lot to say about being human.
A small point maybe, but the host also has a great voice for radio. Warm and comforting to listen to.

Every time I spend time listening to Andrea and her guests I feel connected to the world in ways that are beautiful. These conversations touch all aspects of life and feel relatable and exciting. Embracing dichotomies and leaning into paradoxes with this podcast has been challenging but has opened me to a new way of relating to my life.
