For Your (Re)consideration is podcast about second chances. Every month, a guest and I will sit down to discuss to revisit and re-evaluate a piece of media that has annoyed or antagonized us. We'll attempt to understand what didn't work the first time and figure out if a second look can change our minds. akosuatadasi.substack.com
