Customer Reviews
Grief
It’s important to understand that dwelling in the suffering of others with no power to change anything will destroy your soul and make grieving impossible. You can grieve without being consumed. Grief alone is selfish. It steals pain from another and internalizes it for your own pity. That pity will lead you down a dark path where you ignore the moments of change where you actually can regain some power; to help others. Pay attention, not because you are powerful or powerless, but because you may find those moments where you can channel it into something for someone else; and that is how we should all grieve together. Because everyone is grievable.
Articulate & understandable left analysis!
Ryan & Alexi offer intelligent clarifying analyses with a minimum of jargon to discuss issues and explain why and how things get effed up (or don’t get effed up) for us average folks.
Always good
Every episode seems strong. Content excellent !!!
(A constructive comment: Wish their sound wasn’t quite so “hot”. They seem a bit close to the mic, or their mic’s are too hot.)
