I never review podcasts, but I reviewed this one!
Ok, so: As a longterm nonfiction junkie, I’ve been trying to bring more fiction/literature into my life — especially for reading/listening in the late evenings — & I have to tell you all how much I just loved the podcast “Appearances.” On the surface, “Appearances” is the story of a 36-year-old Iranian-American Jewish woman who wants to become a parent, & who deliberates between starting a family with her longtime on-again/off-again boyfriend, with somebody new, or by herself. But there’s A WHOLE LOT MORE tied up in that: Cultural differences with immigrant parents, musings on feminism, & of course the protagonist’s personal version of the baggage we all end up carrying from our childhoods, one way or another. Throw in some bifurcated narratives & a möbius-strip relationship with the fourth wall, & you start to get the picture. As a writer, as a parent, and as someone who flailed around with very similar questions at the age of 35-36, I thoroughly enjoyed binge-listening this.

If you care about things (ie: relationships, dreams, hurdles, self discovery, interhuman connection, love, unlove, babies, feelings) this show is for you. If you don’t care about things, listen to this show and you’ll change your mind.

This last episode had me so capitivated. The letter... the ending... the overlapping voices... everything is just so perfect. This entire season has been fantastic. Nothing short of amazing. Can we please have more.
