“Honestly I never make reviews, but couldn’t help to let you know how thankful I am for your podcast Season 1.
As I was heading back to work after 7 years off to care for my kids while they were young, I found there wasn’t any dialogue out there for me now. I was no longer a “stay at home mom”...”Read full review »

“Season 2 Episode 1
Lucy is a really bad actress. That accent is so obviously fake. She can’t even keep it going for this podcast.
So why isn’t Lucy in prison? If roles were reversed and the husband killed her, blacked out and suddenly speaks with a stupid, nonsensical inauthentic accent, he...”Read full review »

“I started listening to this in season 3 and really enjoyed it. These life stories are really moving and just prove that you never know what another person may be carrying with them as they go about day-to-day life. I have now just finished season 2 - equally moving and powerful - and will...”Read full review »

“I have listened to each of Tally’s 3 seasons. Her work is compelling and makes you feel a part of her interviews/podcasts. Each season is totally different and each on its own is completely worth your time. She has a knack for tapping onto humanity on such a relatable basis.”

“Heard the tail end of an NPR interview with a comedian, Jason Weems, who died on stage. Had to look him up and then found a podcast about him. I really enjoyed the podcast and had to take the time to do a review so that others might find it too.”

“I am an avid podcast listener and the quality of this one inspired me to write a review—the choice of topics, the way they are narrowed down into interesting and unsettling and humane episodes. Bravo to the creators.”

“It’s 2019 and I’m new to the podcast scene... I started with Season 2 and now listening to Season 1 (so a bit backwards). I laughed out loud (as our household is very much like the one the man described) as the wife who does the yard work. He just described our next door neighbor to a tee!...”Read full review »

“I started listening to Season 3 because I know and admire Jason Weems, both as a comic and a person. It was amazing to hear his story and his journey of recovery, reflection, and appreciation. Brought tears to my eyes. Once I started listening, I couldn’t stop. The episodes were well produced and...”Read full review »

“I am addicted to this podcast, and I love pondering life and all its questions with Tally in my ear. She is just so on top of it in regards to all the nuisances of motherhood and careers, and the balance of it all. She hits upon all of the anxieties and doubts I often have and it really helps to...”Read full review »

“The first is about a mother going back to work after 6 years off having had 2 kids. She lives in Quebec where they get one year paid child leave after having a child. Boohoo poor her. Totally unrelatable to me.”

In all seriousness, this podcast is phenomenal. Tally and I became instant friends when she began shadowing &...”Read full review »

“Really enjoyed listening to this season. I would have really liked to hear more from her late husband’s family. They would give an honest view of the situation.
