  • A breath of fresh air

    This podcast reminds me of the “golden age” of podcasts of Gimlet and narrative storytelling—when I first fell in love with podcasts. It’s informative, relatable, stays on topic, but also entertaining!

    The host is incredible and I really love the sound engineering and music. I just listed to “Zakiya Used to be Fun” and kept finding myself relating so deeply.

    Thank you for the wonderful work you are doing!
