Resurrection

i’m not usually one for podcasts, but i’ve been hooked onto this one from the moment i listened to the trailer for season 1. i agree with other reviewers: the storytelling - a clear labor of love - feels so personal, vulnerable and moving. i can’t believe someone took the time to track down all the people in darryl’s life, to bring them into dialogue with each other, and to expand his legacy in such a thoughtful way YEARS after his death. i listened to this podcast at home while playing animal crossing, at the bus stop while commuting to/ from work, and occasionally while going on a walk too. it reminds my jaded 26 year old heart of what it was like to be a teenager in awe of all the love and emotion in the world. i could write essays on how this podcast made me feel, but truthfully speaking, words are simply not enough. i feel connected to myself and to the world in a way i haven’t felt in a long time. thank you, dane and team, and i hope you continue building this podcast so that people everywhere - especially queer folk - can continue seeing that the amount of love for them in this world transcends both time and space. eagerly looking forward to season 2 ❤️

The format of telling a historical time periods story, through the individuals who lived it. Is by far my fave podcast type. Like the Logbooks out of the UK, true crime podcasts, the stories about real people and what they lived through will always captivate. Through Resurrection Dane pulls you into these times and engages you with real people who are still here to share stories on behalf of those loved ones who are no longer. Thank you thank you thank you for this journey. I’m so glad we have folks out there carrying on and saying their names.

Season 2 has been incredible, especially the deep dives into some of the key figures that emerged in the early part of the epidemic.

season 2 is the best telling of the early days of the AIDS crisis that i have ever heard/read -- and i read it all.
