  • Authentic, Candid & Local

    I, like so many others, am completely enamored with Seacoast New England! Diving into the nitty-gritty of how someone has built their success/identity/community (often with relatable struggles) brings me closer to the people I am surrounded by.

    Every episode is an authentic, enlightening conversation that openly shines light on the deepest parts of a 1:1 chat that typically go unsaid or unheard.

    It’s that authenticity and openness that brings people together. And we absolutely need more of th... more

    I understand that, as a white man in the U.S, this host is unaccustomed to being denied something he wants. It’s uncomfortable for someone who has lived his entire life in the safety and comfort reserved for people of his gender and race, in a syst... more

  • Entitled white men whining

    These dudes are so oblivious to the history and current environment that they take to a podcast and hide behind the “support” of marginalized groups to air their concern of the loss of their entitlement. The fact that groups exist in which they are not allowed is good, because these idiots don’t seem to be able to grasp that they are the latest in a long line of fragile egos who can’t grasp how/why marginalized groups wouldn’t want them included in their safe space. The fact they discuss “what w... more
