  • What happened re: subscription?

    Have been a faithful listener for over four years - showed up this Thursday morning to a subscription request and no access to the episode via the Apple podcast app - this was an extremely unwelcome start to the day - hope it has been fixed

  • Add is over a minute long. It is pain in the ass to listen to it every time.

    Luckily, I uss this podcast to fall asleep so I am 9 out 10 times sleeping before the ass starts.

    I love minimalism, but host is way over top with that subject.

    Podcast need more diversity for sure.

3957: [Part 2] What Do You Miss by Greg Audino on Processing What You Miss
Q: Question number three, which is, Do you miss the comfort of what you thought was security?
