These are terrific true stories - professionally vetted, edited and rehearsed. THEN the host, Michelle, interviews the person who lived (and wrote and read) the story. Many times, the interview is more interesting and revealing than the story itself! I loved hearing more in-depth about each story, storyteller and process of editing the ideas into an entertaining performance. Michelle is a thoughtful, curious and charming interviewer. She is obviously a talented storyteller (and book author) herself, who knows how to tease out details of the writers’ lives. This is NOT a hobby podcast of someone chatting inanely with friends. If you like This American Life or The Moth Radio Hour, you will definitely like this too: great true stories in a unique format. I LOVED every episode. I hope Season Two drops soon!
