I really enjoyed this story. I listen to a lot of podcasts, but they are mostly news, science, opinion, this one was for fun. It was perhaps my introduction to storytelling meets podcasting. I think there are others out there, but this was my first, so it will always be special!

There's an emotional honesty here that is genuinely moving. As the reporter himself argues, the human struggle to live wi... more

The Family Tree unfolds at a slow, deliberate pace, more interested in characters than in shocking reveals. Even so, the first episode offers plenty of hints that this mystery is headed in some weird directio... more
