Thank you for the podcast and the persistence.
Hi, my congratulations on this amazing podcast. What excellent reporting & skill in delivering the details. You turned a sad story into a great learning experience for me, thank you 🥰
Fantastic reporting on something so difficult with a lot of depth and sensitivity…. Until i was bombarded with gambling ads which feels a little psychotic as a choice.
My only critique is the review of AA, which is so common in the media, that is doesn’t work for modern women. AA is a broad highway and is what you make of it. If you want to focus on dated language in a book written 85 years ago, then your success will be limited. Would love to hear a journalist interview a woman successful in AA in your research.
5 stars for good investigative journalism.
