  • Life Changing, heart wrenching and beautiful

    My life will be forever altered from hearing and following the story of Paul, his brother Alex and their family. The legacy of Paul’s life is so delicately, sensitively and seamlessly shared in this limited series podcast. It touched me deeply and I will never be the same. Thank you Alex for this raw and vulnerable work.
