    Unusual to find a podcast on this topic that blends deep intellect with total approachability and resonance, with absolute fearlessness on what’s talked about. The primary reason to listen to this is to feel seen/heard in ways other podcasts don’t quite hit. The second reason is that you’re given tools to explore how to heal others.

How can story-telling help a grieving country? Armenia, diaspora and collective trauma
