“I consume a lot of podcasts, and have for years. Comedy, sports, a lot of pop culture; news, politics. I love podcasts and I love referring them to people and sharing them, but right now, since the COVID pandemic, podcasts have felt an empty thing for me. Very superfluous, kind of silly honestly. Sports are gone, and seem silly. Pop culture is gone, and seems frivolous. Politics is everpresent and can be crushing, so I read the news and don’t dwell on it by listening to it also. This is a rambling explanation to say that this podcast is the only one left that still brings me any joy, or calm, or excitement to find a new episode. Self help is critical right now. Laughing is critical right now. Not taking things too seriously is critical right now. I just sat up today and realized “this is the only podcast left of the 50 or so I listen to that I don’t delete immediately.”
Other than that bleak reason, it’s just a wonderful time, with wonderful positivity that makes you laugh, and provides reading inspiration if you’re into that. As someone who can’t stand self help books, this has been my self help. Great job you guys.”
