How To Destroy Everything

I can see why Danny and Darren make such great friends for each other—the mutual care is palpable. It’s also incredibly important for navigating such tender territories. The podcast gives listeners a glimpse into a world of secrets and shame and survival that would normally remain behind the closed doors of propriety. I so respect Danny for his willingness to share his vulnerability with us all so that we too can grow in compassion for ourselves and the traumas we’ve experienced. First rate production value too.

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast. I eagerly devour each one as them come out. I have trauma (who doesn’t? ;) and don’t know how I’d process it on a public platform like this. So I applaud Danny for doing it. I agree with other reviewers that Sandy shouldn’t be badgered as much. It’s hard to know where the line is with things like this and I think some of that might be better done in a therapist’s office. Everyone abused by the narcissist deserves healing and I wish that upon all of you affected by Richard.

I love this show! I look forward to it every week. It is a fascinating look at a person and how he affects everyone in his life, including the podcaster, who is his son. All the different angles in which they approach the subject is fun and surprising. I keep wondering how Danny’s mother, Sandy, survived this. I hope to hear more from Danny and Darren!

I am so glad I found this podcast. I too grew up with a mentally ill parent. Obviously very different experience than Danny’s, but still incredibly relatable and makes me feel so seen. Thank you for being so vulnerable and I appreciate the candidness of everyone involved, especially Sandy and Darren. I have told everyone I know who listens to podcasts and am now pestering MY best friend I grew up with to do a podcast about my mother! I have a feeling it would not be nearly as entertaining as this podcast but a girl can try ;). Thank you again xoxo
