Fantastic story

Intriguing and sad. Told in a fantastic way. 👏

Exploitative

I wonder what the ethical considerations were of using - and outing - a man who clearly was not feeling well and took his life. Was too much time and resources invested for This American Life to shelve this project? Very cynical and cruel.
