  • Season 7 „No“

    Wow! Nearly 10 years in Community Radio, excessive Podcast listener, cynic. You rarely will get a wow from me!!! Idea, scripting, delivery, special effects, wow, wow, wow, wow. Such an important topic - for men and women.

    I don’t need the X-rated self absorbed descriptions of how Kaitlin learned to say no. Frankly, here’s my “no”— No thanks.

    YES! Finally someone that uses this platform to it’s full potential: a story that penetrates all available membranes of a listeners receiving body to investigate it intimately with sound(s) recorded and imagined, through echolocation of one’s consciousness, the same words are spoken and left unsaid, yet they will perforate your eardrums with affirmation-hesitation-negotiations of consent.

    Man-dat(e)-ory listen!

  • 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.
