New love

Have been listening to the beginning and just working my way through over the past few days. I am loving it, it reminds me of Every Little Thing but more documentary style and a longer format. It’s perfect for me. I love learning about stuff like this and have already recommended it to two friends!
Impactful

The secret life of Canada pulled me in. 12 hours later I’m returning for my 2nd episode, (the opioid crisis). I love hearing different viewpoints on issues going on in the states.
Fun and historical

The most eclectic pod I’ve heard. There’s always something thoughtful in their humor and something human and relatable in their big, serious topics.
