Even though my review of a podcast on depression wasn’t favorable, I tweeted it and tagged the host, Krista Tippett, and the show itself, On Being. And Tippett responded!
This is great, although I’m not sure what she means by “it often works this cyclical way.” Does she mean depression or her show? I’m kidding, but it seems that even with my Ivy League masters degree in English literature, I’m just not smart enough for this show, or even tweets about this show – ha ha!
But I really appreciate Tippett taking the time to read my blog. It’s like she took time to talk with the people.
I found your blog through the Meetup invite to pancakes later this morning and look forward to meeting you.
I didn't hear the podcasts,but your review was spot on. Why do people romanticize depression?
I'm glad her interview of McFerrin worked for you. Do you usually listen to On Being? I rarely do because it's so spiritually focused and softly upbeat, but someone talking about depression gets my attention. Listening to this podcast confirmed for me that I'm not missing a lot by not listening to her show. I hope you were able to read my review of it.
I like her. Her interview with Bobby McFerrin was totally inspiring, to me anyway.
