This podcast is a family favorite. My sons, ages 7 and 9, request it by name. What a wonderful opportunity to expand our world view and hearts, and what a jumping point for insightful conversation at home. Thank you so much.

I’m a subscriber and I don’t even get to listen to the podcasts. I have been trying for the last couple of months and just get an error that the podcast cannot be played on my device. I am on the latest software and it is ridiculous to not be able to listen to any of the podcasts I’ve paid to have access to. And of course I’m outside of the window to be able to ask for a refund…. Fix it please!
Well done, inspirational, hopeful and a good listen!

His end of career insights and hopes for his “new life” to come and brief talk about his background and era of Post WW2 childhood gives these Sleep Over youth a good perspective to take into their dreams!
One of the most humane podcasts out there
