“TL;DR: I first got introduced to Shane Mauss in 2020 from his first episodes of Tales from the Trip by Comedy Central on YouTube. I really appreciated his style of comedy and was searching about where I could find more forms of his artistic expression. I then found out that he had a podcast my first thought before listening to any of them is that I will start from the beginning and listen to all the episodes in chronological order. Yes from the first episode in 2014 all the way to nearly the end of 2021. Yes this is the only podcast that I did this for. I decided that when I did finish and got up to the current most one that I would write a review. Now I want to be clear, this is my first review of any podcast or any other substantial product/service that I have received. I’m not typically compelled to write reviews, but this podcast is so compelling that I want to walk in the direction of my values and write a review. Also just to be transparent I did skip a few episodes that made me squeamish or was in a domain that I studied during my PhD.
First of all, this host has so much self awareness, which I don’t take for granted. I see it come out with much beauty and grace in non-obvious ways during each episode. This salient and hard to describe characteristic is what I’m drawn to when listening. Even if at times when I’m not learning anything new from listening, I very much enjoy hearing this host talk and reframe the conversation.
Secondly, this show has brought so much joy to me and has influenced me in what I would consider personally as a positive direction.
It is a privilege to have existed and at the time of this writing still continue to exist in the same universe as this podcast. I hope that this show keeps going and that the host continues to stay as genuine as he is.
And those of you that read all the way to end, I appreciate you.”
