I feel like y’all stop talking right when things are getting going! I find it so satisfying to listen to conversations that are filled with digressions and side quests that I imagine are completely disorienting to the allistics but I follow them with ease and satisfaction! Love listening to the two of you.... more

  • I’ve needed this

    I try not to be a person who counts down days—living in the present and all that—but I do find myself waiting and waiting for Friday so I can listen to the next episode. I love the insights, and also the humor and the “realness.” I feel seen and I learn so much! Thanks for making this!
