“I’m a new listener but have already ‘binge listened’ to many episodes.
I’m incredibly impressed by both the interviewees and the presenters.
The interviewees who have been through such extreme challenges as to be unimaginable, are incredibly articulate and composed in the relating of their stories. It leads me contemplate if there is somehow some correlation between their intelligence, resilience and clarity & the fact that they have undergone such experiences. Almost as if they were predestined for such enormous challenges that would leave the vast majority of us incoherent and incandescent with rage & bitterness. I hope that doesn’t sound insensitive to them. I’m just so in awe of how they carry themselves with such grace. I applaud and greatly admire them all.
And the presenters rise wonderfully to such a challenge themselves. Treating their guests with such empathy & respect. They make it seem effortless which just shows what incredibly talented individuals they are. They also all have such mesmerisingly beautiful voices!
I hope that in the recounting of their stories, and in their interaction with such extraordinary individuals, the interviewees gain something of worth for themselves. Maybe knowing that their experiences are being validated by, and witnessed by us, the listeners helps them come to terms, if not peace, with what they have endured.
I feel that all involved are making a hugely worthwhile contribution to the world. Inspiring and educating us all as to what the human spirit is capable of both doing and being.
I thank the interviewees for their immense courage & for telling their tales so extraordinarily well. And I thank the presenters for doing such a wonderful job. In doing so making their lives less ordinary too.”
