I hoard & binge Heavyweight episodes for those moments where life feels heavier.
Sitting down to listen to an episode forces me to slow down & reminds me people can be spectacular in so many different ways.
Everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions.
And it usually makes me ugly cry

Here's a very specific piece of advice:
Don't listen to this episode of Heavyweight while delivering the mail, unless it's pouring rain. I don't think anyone saw me cry.
Such a beautiful show. Every episode is special. Thanks to all who work on it.

If you aren't familiar with Heavyweight, I can't think of a better accompaniment to lazy holiday days.
Smart, gentle, unhurried, and unexpected storytelling about human connection that is often as funny as it is heart-wrenching and poignant.

This is beautiful. Tragic, inspiring but most of all, so deeply human and not at all voyeuristic, absolutely brilliant. Brilliant. ❤️

Heavyweight has always been amazing, but this is one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard. Also, devastating.

I haven't felt this way about a podcast episode in years.
Trauma explored without melodrama, and the adults those children became trying to move past it. And yet, it's hopeful and beautiful.
