Misschien heb je wakker gelegen en je voorgesteld hoe het had kunnen zijn, hoe het nog zou kunnen zijn, maar het moment om te handelen was nooit het juiste moment. Welnu, het moment is daar en de podcast die dit mogelijk maakt is Heavyweight. Ga met Jonathan Goldstein mee op roadtrips, netelige reünies en moeilijke gesprekken terwijl hij zich een weg terug naar het verleden baant als een therapeut met een tijdmachine. Van Spotify Studios.
Maybe you’ve laid awake and imagined how it could have been, how it might yet be, but the moment to act was never right. Well, the moment is here and the podcast making it happen is Heavyweight. Join Jonathan Goldstein for road trips, thorny reunions, and difficult conversations as he backpedals his way into the past like a therapist with a time machine.
For our penultimate Heavyweight encore, we’re joined by Pen15 co-creator Anna Konkle to revisit last season’s junior high drama — #53: Leif.
On Valentine’s Day in junior high, Leif was supposed to ask Kalila out. But he never did. Leif’s lack of action that day impacted Kalila’s life to come. And so seventeen years later, she wants to know: what happened.
For more, head over to Pushkin+, where you can subscribe to hear an extended cut of Kalila’s conversation with Anna.
