I’ve only listened to the Elif Shafaq episode and the recap so far, but it’s been great. Such a great concept. From the concept, to the hosts, to the guests, I couldn’t imagine anything better. Please keep going.
I’m trying to find the best words while writing the review. It definitely had a therapeutic or a kind of healing effect on me. I internalised some words that I’ve never thought of like that before. I’m extremely excited as excited as you to listen to more from you. I’m with you “forever”.
