  • This is important. This is exceptional. This is fantastically well written and performed. 100% recommend.

    But: There is no way for me to explain what this podcast "is" or "is about".

    Just listen to a scattering of episodes. You'll see.

  • Enjoyable story, lovely song

    A Story and a Song - this was an enjoyable episode to begin with. Updating it with such a lovely song was a wonderful idea. It invoked wonder memories of Catalina. (I listened to the song several times.)
