  • Witty and wrenching

    I truly enjoy listening to the podcast because of the personalization given so that even when the topic is very somber and wrenching in nature, the comments given by Miss Eagan bring some perspective and humanization to the listener. Thank you.

  • My Favorite Podcast

    I have a hard time sitting still through anything because my body operates on constant movement, like bouncing my leg or playing sports. However, whenever I play an episode I have no problem sitting still for hours, and it lets me slow down for a bit. I love your episodes and thank you for taking so much time to make these for us!
