The premise of the show is that the Oakland-based podcaster began a daily podcast on day 1 of the pandemic lockdown. She examines herself, her family, neighborhood, city/state, country and world. ...Read full review »

Dear Laura, I listened to borderline fortune and felt spoken to. As a multi-media artist/musician/writer I’ve been struggling so much with the disheartening realities you and Theresa spoke of.

I listened teary-eyed to Season 2 : Episode 10, The Breakdown. It resonated deep within me, the longing to be more grateful during a time of breakdown for the new beginnings. Such a well done podcast!

Laura has the most eloquent yet down to earth way to tell her stories. It really makes me “stop” and rest for a few moments while I close my eyes and just listen. Her voice is incredibly soothing. She is an amazing artist and I suspect an amazing mother of three. Carry on Laura. You’ve got it!
CabbyB105 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/20
Laura’s reflections are beautifully crafted but no less authentic for that. An uplifting fusion of art and honesty, full of insights into our strange cultural moment. I felt I was reconnecting with an old friend.

The best of what podcasting can be: easy enough to consume length-wise, but challenging to digest internally because it rearranges your mental maps of the world. Definitely worth adding to the playlist
eduszynski via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/14/20
I’ve been aimlessly searching for a new podcast to replace my usual list which just doesn’t feel right these days. Laura’s voice and message speak right to my heart as a mother, wife, and community member. Unassuming and intelligent, it is both comforting and inspiring!
