Introducing Heavyweight
If you haven't ever listened to the Heavyweight podcast I would highly recommend checking it out. It's a unique show that takes those unresolved moments (like a friendship that suddenly ended or a question you never asked) and does something most of us only imagine doing: it goes back and tries to resolve them. It's one of those special shows that many podcasters will say inspired them to get into podcasting!
