“Oh hey, it’s your friend Alie Ward” and whatever they say after always has me in tears — and this latest colorectal episode (wtf) started with kicks friend whacking you with a pool noodle?! Had me, again, in tears.
Alie, never change. Never change your curiosity, your “dumb questions”, the lighthearted format of which you resolve to talk about hiv, cancer, genocide, all of it. We are the better for it. I love this show. I am the better for it. Thank you for making me the better.

Lately I have been replacing unhealthy scrolling with listening to podcasts while walking on my treadmill. This podcast is amazing, Alie makes me feel like I’m having coffee with a fellow ologist, and her questions keep me interested and engaged. It’s perfect for my ADHD too. There’s no background music, and there is the right amount of pop culture clips or extra dialogue to complement the main conversation. Bonus points, I get to collect random facts about random things to tell my friends!

I think the thing that keeps me hooked even if it’s not something I was previously interested in is your genuine joy and curiosity with each Ologist. It’s so lovely in a world of hard things is listening to someone who is curiously asking ... more
