  • Episode 4 is where I checked out

    The lack of self awareness of these people is staggering. I listened to all these stories and the conclusion this brings the host to as well as that of his relatives is -if my marriage or my spouse has not caused me to reach the best version of myself, the fault ultimately lies in the relationship, not in me.

  • Marriage then divorce. Why?

    So far I’ve listened to series 6 (on marriage, then divorce). I think it’s really well done. Particularly when his family members talk frankly - as though you’re in the room with them eg Dad. Very honest. Ian’s reflections are interesting and join the whole piece together. Definitely worth a listen.

  • Well done, Ian

    I commend Ian in Forever is a Long Time for his willingness to journey through his family’s divorce history, empathetically asking the tough questions, and learning valuable lessons along the way. The heartfelt original songs at the end of each episode reflect and deep connection between the conversations and the insights he gained. I found myself reflecting on my own marriage and both the gifts and hardships of the divorces in my family’s past. Highly recommend!
