Touching & Funny
Wonderful story telling that made us laugh and made two of us cry...not telling which two 🙏
Dive deep for the great stuff
Many of the older episodes are fantastic, moving, thoughtful and touching. But over the past few years the new episodes have gotten extremely political (and often an echo chamber, with little to no diversity in political ideology). Plus there are frequent reruns. If you are looking for a great show, scroll back a few years.
Awesome!
One of my favorite podcasts. Every episode is so interesting.
