Worried about you.

I’m writing this as a review because I don’t know how else to get in touch with you. You haven’t released a podcast or posted anything in twitter in a long time, and I hope you are well. Please know that you matter and you are missed.

Therapeutic

This series literally feels like therapy. I feel both relaxed and engaged while listening. Very cool take on women in history while blending those stories with those of more recent women we can more easily empathize with. Seems like a lot of research has gone into it too, so I always walk away having learned something or changed my perspective. Excellent listen.
