The show I didn’t know I needed
2 days ago
I first listened to this show after hearing the little snippet advertising it many times and it wasn’t what I expected. Even though I often don’t know the guests and their work, the content and atmosphere of vulnerability, nostalgia, hope, and reflection bring me so much comfort to listen to. I feel like this show realizes the sorts of conversations I have with myself and long to have more with others. I love the warmth and sincerity Rachel and the team behind this show bring to it, and I really do find it to be a unique gem, and a little island of respite every time I listen.
Fun & Unique Conversations
Jan 3
Durng the pandemic, my adult niece got the We’re Not Really Strangers card game. We set up a weekly FaceTime call to play, and it was such a great way to connect and learn more about each other. Your podcast reminds me of that special time. I can see why the guests often say they’re nervous when you begin, because your interviews are so different than what is common on the podcast circuit. Thank you for your unique vision for this podcast, and the way it sounds like friends talking, even when you are meeting your guests for the very first time.
Woke squared

So tired of hearing that portion of the news that that covers ethnic minorities and women. If women are 50% of the population, shouldn’t they be 50% of the stories?
I LOVE WILDCARD

It’s a afternoon tea, it’s a brisk fall day, it’s a weird talk with David Lynch. This podcast is a treat.
