All-Time Favourite

I listened to this podcast when it was released. It was a formative podcast for me and set the standard high. I listen through it maybe once yearly - it’s still that good. I only stopped in to write this review because the podcast was presented within a list of recommendations, but I think I might just begin the journey again…

Memorable

I listened to this podcast years ago and I’m still thinking about it. The storytelling crossed a huge line toward the end but I’m torn- because it’s so good. Definitely a great story. It opens an ethical question about how to be a responsible listener.
