The Dream
Little EverywhereDream fans....WE ARE BACK!
We're reimagining The Dream as a weekly interview podcast with guests and segments about, I don't know.... whatever we want? Don't worry! We'll still be focused on the "American Dream" and all the assholes that make it infinitely harder to achieve. We'll just have a bit more freedom in how we present it.

- Excellent episode on Hospice
The episode in which Jane Marie interviews a hospice professional is excellent. Highly recommend it to anyone with a family. Or anyone alive. Thanks for being raw and honest, Jane.

United States7 days ago - Kind of a Genius
After listening to Jane Marie here for years (and on THIS AMERICAN LIFE) I’ve realized she’s a kind of prescient genius.

Apple Podcasts5URG...!United Statesa month ago - Lacks Polish and Professionalism
Listened to season one so far and it started great. Really intriguing topic and so important. But slowly the tone of the show turned snarky and condescending. For the record I think MLMs are despicable but the information was not presented in a balanced, measured way. The most disappointing was the interview with someone from the other side, I felt the host was rude and hostile. I would have preferred a tough but fair interview in order to really get good insight.
Host is so tongue in cheek th... more
