  • Moving, Poigiant

    It is really amazing how much healing and solace these kids get from writing. Kudos to the actors who read their work for them. It takes so little to give so much to people who needed support and affirmation. The podcast could have better production values, but that doesn’t really detract from the worth of the content.

  • One of the best imho

    There’s just something about this show…oh, I know what it is! It’s real. Like real real, not “reality show” real. It covers a wide range of the real deal. Face on. Creatively. I am very fond of real people and this show covers that, which the world needs more of. Topics that matter. People who are changing the world. Love it.
