Devastatingly Beautiful Podcast
As an ex-Catholic reckoning with problematic Catholic beliefs and figures, Season 1 of this podcast had me hooked and enthralled. I thought there was no way I’d enjoy Season 2 as much, having no background in or knowledge of ballet, but boy was I wrong.

Even though I never joined a religious order, nor danced ballet, I found myself relating to so many of the tough questions posed by the interviewees and the hosts. Incredibly thought-provoking, brilliantly produced, and devastatingly beautiful podcast. I hope there’s a Season 3!
