Extra battery power for lone wolf
As a seasoned Lone Ranger, this always makes me smile
Great show
Very thoughtful, insightful, human, and honest. I love this podcast.
Great show
As an expat from Hongkong to U.K. I usually listens to this podcast in the late night by myself, I feel great connection with most of the feelings that's mentioned here. The dining alone episode and the expat episode really strike my heart. All the guests are just being super honest to share their amazing and beautiful options about being alone and dealing with loneliness. A very spiritual show, I highly recommend this to all the people who are suffering from loneliness or maybe just want to get to know more about this normal human feeling. :)
