Customer Reviews
Interesting focus & real talk
Love the focus of this podcast. Great dive into the stories behind published memoirs. Can’t wait to hear more episodes.
Intimate and intriguing
I was checking out the titles fir the episodes and found myself investing in this podcast before I had even listened to a single word. I love the non traditional perspectives and the emotion that comes with hearing people’s memoirs.
Unexpected
A friend of mine told me about this podcast and I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s definitely unexpected (in a good way), and I can’t wait to listen to more!
