Thank you for making this podcast. You have made a difference to those of us who have hungered for advice, community and the truth when dealing with sick, aging parents.
It’s a pet peeve of mine when shows rebrand rather than do a separate launch. By all means, post the trailer for a new show on here. I liked fallen angel and re-listen every now and again but I have no interest in this new show about aging parents, so guess I’ll be unfollowing, although I really would like to keep fallen angel around.
Vanessa and Justine equal perfection
I want to like it… but Grigoriadis’ voice is just TOOO special. Tooo bad.
Overall, I think the show is well produced, but the theme song is so out of place and annoying. I have no idea why it would’ve been chosen. I have to skip over it.
