The best thing to do next
Very often, particularly when life is a little too overwhelming, the next best thing to do is... listen to an Invisibilia episode.
GREAT
Great stories beautifully told. a must hear.
As complex and beautiful as light
Of all the podcasts I have subscribed to, this is the one I keep returning to, hungering. The scope, the surprises, the compassionate approach inform me on a deeper level.
I once organized an exhibit called “what you don’t know about me” about the secret creative lives of women. One woman ended up going missing and is still disappeared to this day. A mystery wrapped inside of an enigma. This podcast unravels and decodes these “gestaltian holes”, making some kind of resolution possible. A great service is provided to our psyches.
