Simply gorgeous, the production/editing and all the original music are amazing, so much so it feels an instantly cohesive whole from the jump. Sarah and Alex’s commentary is far-ranging, way surpassing what I expected from their framing of the podcast’s scope. Yes, of course, there’s a lot of smart thinking about and incisive observations on fathers, fatherhood, and masculinity, but then there are richly sourced deep-dives into film history, into literature and literary parallels, and so much more. Critically, it’s also very, very funny. That part makes everything else work perfectly, as a digestible and manageable whole that, in less capable hands, could have been overwhelmingly heavy.
I can’t recommend it enough and I can’t wait to see where this podcast goes from here!
