- Moving
I was so moved by the most recent episode about theatre. Such beautiful vulnerability and carful attention. It’s beautiful to listen to someone learn about themselves and find new paths through loss.

I never know where a conversation is going and I mean that in the absolute best way. I find something to relate to in every episode and I’m often thinking about it long after I listen.
Apple Podcasts5ShirdlesUnited States6 months ago - Compelling, Heartwarming, Intimate
This gem of a podcast takes wholehearted conversations to the next level. Every week I’m blown away by the thoughtful (and wonderfully vulnerable) conversations between Mauricio (the host) and the guest who offers a tender question that’s been on their mind.
It’s not always easy to hold space for big questions that touch on risk, identity, and life journey. But Mauricio does just that, and he brings a levity, warmth, and introspective rigor to the conversation as he does it.
Thank you for thi... more
Apple Podcasts5Babs T.United States7 months ago - Absolutely wonderful
I was a little scared what would happen to the show with the new host… but I need not have feared! In a striking and kind of beautiful way, it still feels like the same show. Or at least — this new season of TRQ is still providing just the vibe I was seeking out, listening to prior seasons of TRQ — thoughtful and probing conversations, with a wise and interesting host. It just has a new, fresh flavor :) Mauricio is wonderful and digs deep, and I’m excited to learn from him and his questions as t... more
