Unapologetics: Unwrap the Truth—Scott M. Morris

I’m a selfish podcast listener. I listen and enjoy but have never before now taken the time to rate or review one. I’m four episodes in, and this podcast does something for me that no other has. I typically can sit back and let a narrative unfold in familiar and infotaining formulas. No negative connotations intended. Formulas are formulas because they work. But Scott Morris does something different. It’s like you’re sitting in an intimate space with a best friend after more than one drink but several shy of too many. You’ve gotten comfortable. He’s gotten quietly wound up. And then the story begins, with an arc that fits no formula. You’re listening to a story about a squirrel, and before you realize it hours have passed and tears are running down your cheeks and the story about that squirrel was actually a story about a father and a son and a wife and your first child that you thought would never come, and you feel sadness and joy all at the same time. And if it were all just that, that could be enough. But it’s not just that. I finish each episode with some definitive resolve to live my life better, through art and heart and mind, and even with an inkling of how to go about it. So take the time with this one. Learn the rhythms of Scott’s thoughts and stories. You’ll be the better for it.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air. Listen as Scott Morris skillfully weaves his tales with humor, intelligence, and a true mastery of language. His are stories about the human condition, the experiences that unite us in tragedy, despair, and hope. His words stay with you long after the podcast is over as what he shares is so universal and so compelling that you’ll find yourself continuing to reflect on it. This is a podcast for those looking to listen to someone smart, funny, eloquent, and who just gets it. The wide range of topics covered speak to the breadth of Scott Morris’s genius.

There are things in this world that bring us down, tear us apart, make us feel like if we can just make it in life we are succeeding. Scott Morris explores these things with such an intelligent understanding of what it’s like to be brought down and torn apart. He also understands how to help set us free from this state of life. His words are funny, powerful, and inspiring. He speaks truth and wisdom in such a down to Earth way. Listen to what he has to say, because what he has to say won’t just help you make it in life, but help you change your life.

Everyday bad things happen. Everyday people are devastated. Everyday people die. That is the reality of our broken world. In this broken world that we live in, people need a voice. Not just any voice, but a strong voice constantly speaking truth into them. A voice that is like an anchor in the waves. A lighthouse in a storm. A voice that gives life. Scott Morris has that voice.
