I enjoyed listening to this audio show. The episodes varied in length and I think it would have been better if the episodes had been the same length, around 30 mins. The last few episodes are only 6 or 7 minutes long. I felt these were too short. I wanted the stories of each to expand. Some of the stories are incredibly sad but they each have a ring of hope that no matter how sucky the odds you'll find a way out. The best episodes were Sibo and Maureen about two women in a detention centre who fall in love, Under Ice about a woman recovering from sexual abuse and Leader of the Bathroom Seminars about an anthropologist whose life is changed by a child who is terminally ill and dies.
