A good listen any time, but especially now as we grapple with our changing lives through pandemic, political and environmental transitions. Insightful and hopeful.

A great listen. Interesting to hear him describe his parents challenges and experiences and how that impacted him.

After listening to this, I listened to a WTF podcast (not my usual fare) in which Maron was interviewing Ma about this and a wider range of topics. Ma is such a regular guy - unassuming and unpretentious; it’d be neat to have a beer (or two) with him and talk about anything, maybe even music
