OBSESSED

I loved delving into these worlds with this podcast. Beautifully produced and so much fun! I can’t wait to hear what the next obsessions are going to be!

I don’t know why I listened to you podcast. I think I wanted another perspective on something I’m obsessed about- true crime. You kinda dissed my favorite show- Morbid. I think there are many reasons people obsess over crime. I had a pretty violent thing happen in my life at a very you g age. I didn’t have the coping skills to resolve it and I believe my obsession with man’ darker side is my way of unraveling what happened to me. It’s like finding out that injustice is a part of life and not being in control is scary (being a vulnerable victim). Hearing other people’s accounts is somehow therapeutic, albeit I hurt for them, too. I don’t wish misery or tragedy on anyone but as my counselor always said, “you have to feel to heal.” After listening to these podcasts, I feel a little less alone because my tragedy was never talked about, therefore, not processed until years later when I decided to go to counseling. I liked the way you researched and investigated something you didn’t really understand. I think understanding is the key to living in a multifaceted world. You can’t hate what you understand.

This podcast is an absolute must for anyone who likes to listen to people talk about the things they love. There’s so much joy in these interviews, and Cliff does a great job cutting together the highlights. Also, the sound quality is great and the editing is solid—which is really important to me personally. Overall a great listen that’s interesting, well-paced, and overall likely to put you in a good mood.

Clifford is a fabulous host who is curious, humble, and kind to his guests. A fun dive into people’s obsessions.
