- Feel seen.
I’ve listened to every episode. I was just listening to the recent “outsourcing” episode. Felt so seen. Right down to fighting with my kid this summer about every step of getting a drivers license.

Apple Podcasts5Trufflesalt5000United States7 months ago - Long time listener, first time reviewer
I’ve been listening for years and never felt the need to write a review, but when I heard the episode on How to talk to kids about Minneapolis, I had to thank you for taking a leap and writing about really hard stuff. Your guest gave some great practical tips. You two are gems and I love the balance of seriousness and levity in What Fresh Hell.
