  • My happy place

    I just love this show. Her voice is so pleasant to me. Just a nice show! Worth checking out. It's kind of like, the cozy game of podcasts. Like what you imagine Wish Me Well from Sanrio would do as a podcast. 10/10.

  • Deeply human

    One of my faves. Sarah brings an inspiring amount of consideration and humanity to every topic of conversation. She reads into the motivations of people and events from near history like a literature professor, and her and her guests come out of it with a 3-dimensional study from which we can all learn. Also, she’s really funny.

  • Love it and hate it

    I’ve listened to this podcast for years, and I personally loved it much more when Michael was the cohost. The subject matter continues to be some of the best out there. Sometimes Sarah’s emotional commentary and frequent personal anecdotes—inserted every few minutes—can get a bit distracting and annoying. Still, overall, the show is absolutely worth a listen.

  • This Podcast Rules

    I have listened to this podcast from the start. I loved it with and without Michael. I loved all the Tanya, OJ, Michelle Remembers etc. I binged the Keiko series today and had all the feels. As a fellow Oregonian child I can’t express how much this hit. Thank you for consistently reminding me of the messiness of being human.

  • Big fan of the show.

    At this point I’m genuinely convinced Sarah has made some sort of pact or (legally binding?) commitment to mentioning Newsies (1992) at least once per episode.
