Portraits of broken, hopeful people to remind us we're not alone.

    007: That's All We Really Want

    We all desire it. Many of us have even experienced it . . . in our younger years. But as working adults, it's unclear whether it still exists. Over a decade ago, Nifer glimpsed it with her own eyes. This is her story.

    006: La Scommessa (ITAL)

    "La paura c'è ... ma bisogna accettarla. E non fare l'errore di arrendersi.” Finalmente… ho fatto il mio primo podcast in italiano. È una storia di una scommessa che a volte fa paura, poi un esperimento nel dialetto molisano.

Not a formula

The listeners, you and me, are simultaneously complex and common...right? Ngofeen does a great job at allowing the story to be the story while not cheaply telling you what to think or feel, but giving space for questions to be pondered. Gives space for you to hear anothers story and think to yourself, "Oh, me too." The absence of such moments makes for a lonely life. Listening to the podcast helps alleviate feelings of isolation.

Also, the laughter in the episodes is pretty darn contagious.

Keep turning out the lights!

I love great storytelling; especially the kind that can delight, provoke, assure, and inspire the listener all before saying, "the end." Ngofeen crafts stories that pull the listener into a narrative, ignite a new thought, and leave the listener with a smile and a spark when the lights turn back on.

In Depth Stories from a Refreshing Voice

Ngofeen's passion for story telling shines bright in this podcast. Not only are the stories great, but the production is top notch. Looking forward to new and future perspectives from Ngofeen! -Barber
