The best & worst podcast
This is without a doubt the best AND worst podcast that I’ve listened to this year. The best- the author told Dr. Brant’s story with kindness and compassion. She made his story relatable and I was impressed with her non-judgmental approach (both towards the doctors eccentric life and also the bullies who quite frankly deserved a little shaming). My heart broke for Dr. Brant with every episode and the tragedy within this story. Yet Dr. Brant’s lively personality and generous heart made me want to be more like him. She did a wonderful job separating who Dr. Brant was professionally vs. who he was personally and reminding us that people aren’t always as resilient as they lead on to be. She also did a really good job of getting across the point that no done deserves to be ridiculed, regardless of their eccentricities or differences. This podcast inspired me to be a better person and to live life a little bit more like Dr. Brant. The worst- At the end of the ten episodes I felt like the author was leading me the natural (above) conclusion and I was really surprised when she instead pivoted and turned on the reader. It seemed like her conclusion was to blame the reader while assuming that we are all full of vanity and judgement and therefore all guilty. I kind of get what she’s saying, but I think it didn’t emulate Dr. Brant’s amazing example of kindness and forgiveness. I wish she had ended this series instead by discussing Tina Feys refusal to acknowledge her sorrow for hurting another human being (even if she refused to take accountability). Isn’t the the basic unwillingness to show sensitivity and caring the heart of this story and something that is so lacking and in need of in American society... and Dr. Brant’s greatest example to us all?!!!!

The transition to the “Best Fiends” ad read was pretty jarring on episode 9.
