Customer Reviews
The perfect offering for this moment
I started listening and couldn’t stop. Sam Anderson is a compelling storyteller, a healer really! Thank you, thank you.
New favorite podcast
It’s like my favorite episodes of This American Life, but every single episode. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry. What a gem! I hope that a thousand more episodes are made (please @NYT!!!)
Continues right?
Sam, this will (must) continue. With apologies to your wife, Please don’t stop producing these podcasts
My heart and soul smile
Biophilia encapsulated!
