“I have listened to all 8 several times. All interviewees are over 60 and Cheryl interviews them about what they are doing during the pandemic. Fabulous! I think my favorite was Pico Iyer. And Judy Blume. And all of them. I think this is my favorite podcast ever - and I listen to lots of podcasts.”
