A story of searching, told beautifully, vulnerably, poetically. The kindness and authenticity of each implicated person is striking and heartwarming. Thank you for sharing this story.

I was hooked after the first episode, but the last three were truly unforgettable. The honesty captured in the layered family communication was messy and beautiful. The show left me scanning my own life for the places where I might be searching for something that has been with me all along.

This was a very well done podcast. Thank you for sharing the intimacies of your story. I also very much enjoyed the sound and music. It was very relaxing.

I did like this podcast. It was worth my time. This was made by a younger person and so when I felt annoyed I tried to stay with it. Ultimately I am impressed. There were moments where I almost checked out because it seemed belabored. And there were moments where it was very worth it. I appreciate the participation of family members, this lent to an authenticity. Who ever scored this podcast should get an award. The score was absolutely fantastic.
