- Feel good stories for high society
It’s easy for high society folks to reinvent themselves for a Third Act.
But commoners don’t have that luxury - they’re too busy trying to keep their heads above water.
So if you’re doing well, sitting around having tea in your castle, this podcast is for you.
It would be for everyone if she’d interview working class people who’ve managed to land a Third Act. But she probably doesn’t know any working class people.

I have not yet had the privilege of listening to all of them, but the Brigid Keenan interview is outstanding, and the Don McCullin one of the frankest, finest conversations I have ever heard.
