Customer Reviews
The irony in giving a review podcast 5 stars
I went into the podcast wondering how would one review facets of human life and wouldn’t that be quite narcissistic and pretentious? As a fan of his books, I really should have knewn better. I have never had such an emotive response to a podcast, it successfully communicates the beauty of how fragile life is and also how wondrous that we are that experience it at all. Give any episode a go, they do not need to be in sequence. It is a little ironic to review a review podcast but I’ll give this 5 stars in a heartbeat.
Thank you
When I heard you say that the podcast was going on hiatus my heart truly dropped
A irrational pain I know, since the podcast will come back but pain nonetheless
‘It hurt because it mattered’
This podcast has mattered to me
And will continue to matter to me
And so I want to thank you for helping me through sleepless nights , crying fits and lonely bus rides
Beautiful
This podcast is so well written and spoken, that I can not explain how much I like it with any words of my own. I feel incapable of explaining.
I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5 stars.
