Today, an update on our episode Skye. When Skye was in middle school, her best friends showed up at her home one night and wrote “f*ck you” on her garage door. Decades later, at the urging of her 11-year-old son Clark, Skye sets off to ask them why. lnk.to/abtoVt

I don’t think anyone is doing what Jonathan Goldstein is doing with the Heavyweight podcast. Deeply affecting storytelling. @heavyweight open.spotify.com/episode/5Wg…
