Almost good art

“Since the author considers this an "art project", I'll critique it as an art project. Firstly, we get an inside view into Jan's work process which is itself compelling as it's not something you get to see everyday when the art is a written piece. The podcast wanders into the kind of sentimentality that often cheapens good art, but considering that we are looking at Jan's processing—both as an artist and as one who is grieving—that is to be expected this side of a finished product. Still, the sentimentality may be what some reviewers are referring to as "indulgent" and "millennial," which is uncomfortable at times, but isn't wrong or bad. The sheer act of a person baring their soul and writing process is brave, beautiful, and, in my opinion, NOT the cause of any cringe-worthiness. Rather, it's the format itself, such as using phrases like "Dad Character" and "Plot Twists," that appear pretentious and corny. The pre-polished weaknesses of this art project haven't scared me away at this point, but I do hope that the final product is elevated from where it's at currently. Art critique aside, the first few episodes did make me feel seen and understood and were surprisingly relatable. It would be nice to start feeling that way again when listening to the newer episodes, but since I'm not the one putting myself out into the world like this, I have no real right to complain about any of it.”Read full review »

“Every episode hits so close to home. Jan has experienced one of my greatest fears: the loss of an estranged parent. Her creative process in unpacking her story gives me hope that I, too, will be okay.”

“Jan and Carson are awesome! I love that you are working through this in the best way you know how when so many run and hide from the hard things in life. Thank you for sharing this with us and thank you Family Ghosts for pointing me in this direction! “Patiently” waiting for the next episode...”
