Emphatic Listening at its Finest.
To be honest, I am one of the interviewees. I cannot say this is the best podcast ever because I have not listened to every podcast out there; but what I can say is that it is extremely prescient in these times, where so many vastly different experiences cross on a daily basis through human movement. More importantly I wanted to write a review of my experience being interviewed. Andrea is perhaps the best listener and questioner I have ever had the privilege of sharing my identity with. In fact there were only a few questions and then some clarification ones - but the construction was that no one bit of her experience was forced into the narrative, rather the ambassador of experiential storytelling. In a world where we assume for others what we cannot comprehend ourselves and warn people before they hear or see something disturbing (a very sweet sentiment but born of the idea that life can be pristine) the art of listening is at its greatest moment now. Surely we cannot feel tangibly what other experience, but we can get pretty darn close by allowing people to speak honestly and openly without challenge from the listener. As listeners we can invite the discomfort because that makes it a shared experience in the end. To be honest now that it’s all public I realize even more how powerful empathic listening can be: I would have never dreamed to share these things were it not for Andrea and Luke. Their pure connection to listening brought also a lot of incredible music from the lands of the stories being told. All the artist donated their music, a huge ask while we struggled through the pandemic to pay the bills. But people in the end share what they can when they are touched, and the way to be touched is to allow it in. If the content is intense - the music is the resonance of human experience. So a very biased “highly recommended”!
