Heavyweight is always great, but this view into my hometown is especially well-done. This one captures it.

Everyone should listen to this but be aware it’s NSFW because you will cry.

This! It’s a heartbreaking episode and maybe, the most important episode of @heavyweight.bsky.social so far.
if this one doesn't wreck you like it wrecks me, you're not human.

Listen.
Today, a special episode: Minneapolis. omny.fm/shows/heavyw...

You should always listen to @heavyweight.bsky.social.

But you should especially listen to the new episode “Minneapolis, for obvious reasons.

One less obvious reason is that it contains a new musical genre (Yacht Rap) but that’s just a bonus really.

Please do listen.

I hoard & binge Heavyweight episodes for those moments where life feels heavier.

Sitting down to listen to an episode forces me to slow down & reminds me people can be spectacular in so many different ways.

Everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions.

And it usually makes me ugly cry

Here's a very specific piece of advice:

Don't listen to this episode of Heavyweight while delivering the mail, unless it's pouring rain. I don't think anyone saw me cry.

Such a beautiful show. Every episode is special. Thanks to all who work on it.

If you aren't familiar with Heavyweight, I can't think of a better accompaniment to lazy holiday days.
Smart, gentle, unhurried, and unexpected storytelling about human connection that is often as funny as it is heart-wrenching and poignant.
And we're back. Today, a new episode of Heavyweight: Etta. omny.fm/shows/heavyw...

@heavyweight.bsky.social Today's episode was so moving I cried, and laughed. Please thank Deborah for opening up her life to the world. And, thank you Jonathan, et al, for the consistently immaculate and beautiful storytelling. Kudos.

This is beautiful. Tragic, inspiring but most of all, so deeply human and not at all voyeuristic, absolutely brilliant. Brilliant. ❤️

Heavyweight has always been amazing, but this is one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard. Also, devastating.

Another exceptional episode from Heavyweight.

Some really beautiful writing and tear jerking interviews. An episode that really tugs at the heart strings

I haven't felt this way about a podcast episode in years.

Trauma explored without melodrama, and the adults those children became trying to move past it. And yet, it's hopeful and beautiful.
