Sometimes. It’s usually about helping people get closure on things that happened quite a long time back, usually by helping them connect with someone they lost contact with or helping them do something they have been meaning to do. But to be very clear, this is not a show about helping people deal with long-held traumas or PTSD or things like that.

There are some really heart-warming tales and the narrative style is filled with humour.

Some of my favourite episodes:

• Ep 2 is about the host’s friend who claims he lent a budding music artist some CDs and that person used some of their music to make an album and didn’t credit them. And now the host’s friend wants their CDs back. Oh, and that music artist and his album? Moby - Play (and Moby actually features on this episode)
• Ep 12 is about a guy who got hit by a car and that changed his life. Now he wants to connect with that driver and thank him. The episode covers how these 2 people’s lives changed after the accident and when they finally meet after so long, how that meeting goes.
• Ep 45 is about a woman who mistakenly taped a Billy Ray Cyrus concert over a recording of her father’s tv interview after getting injured in Vietnam. The showrunners try to help find another recording of it.
• Ep 52 is a sad one. It’s about the passing of the host’s once best friend and chronicles their childhood and how they drifted apart and got close again just before the friend passed, etc.

In many episodes, they don’t succeed in what they originally set out to do, but the endings are usually very good regardless.

Do yourself a favour and find and listen to all the back episodes of Heavyweight

I was crushed when they announced that Spotify cancelled the show but a recent update says they have found a new home and they’re working on a new season.

No other show has made me feel so many feelings so strongly.

Reply All was my favourite podcast and I miss it so much.

PJ Vogt started Search Engine and Alex Goldman recently started Hyperfixed which are both pretty good but neither come close to having the humour and chemistry of Reply All, not quite the interesting content.

Search Engine, for now, is s the better of the two, having done its feet since it started much earlier then Hyperfixed.

India is an ally? Relations between Canada and India have been frosty for years now, far worse than the current US/Canada drama.

I agree. I’m a pretty happy Firefox user. I am not a power-user of tabs anyway, I try to keep my open tabs to a minimum.

This is just a list of browsers with apparently good tab management.

I believe India is following your approach, asking ISPs to block certain websites, mainly porn. Or at least, they were. I’m not sure what else they’re planning now.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you now? I played the game when I was already in my 30s and I still enjoyed it, though some aspects of the culture and hipster lifestyle it depicts didn’t resonate with me. If it’s not hipster lifestyle that’s being depicted in the game, it just goes to show the age gap between the game’s protagonists and me, I guess.
