  • Brilliant

    Over the past year I've worked my way through the consistently brilliant Longform Podcasts, along with the equally good but now sadly defunct Esquire Classics Podcasts, so I've looking for something similar to feed my creative nonfiction podcast habit. And now I've found my perfect fix...

    Well done, Matt. I can't praise you enough. Thanks so much. Your choice of subjects is inspired, and your interviewing technique is engagingly relaxed yet always well-briefed and probing.

  • Taylor Harris

    A thoughtful and well articulated interview with Ms. Harris. There are many key points that I'm still simmering on. As a mother I wonder how I would feel and if I could handle Christopher's medical mystery with as much grace as Ms. Harris. Also, as a teacher I wonder how and if many teachers would even have the appropriate space in their lexicon to even begin to understand. Thank you for this poweful story and interview.
