Podcast Corner: Jonathan Goldstein's welcome return to the ring with Heavyweight
Jonathan Goldstein of the Heavyweight podcast
Heavyweight (Gimlet Media) has returned for a long-awaited new season. The aptly titled podcast sees host Jonathan Goldstein make like Jeremy Kyle, going straight to the nub of a person’s problem in life and trying to find a solution: Adults dogged by what-could-have-beens confront their foster parents, Goldstein by their side prodding them along; a woman wonders why she was bullied at school; and in its most famous episode, the titular Gregor wants to get his CDs back from Moby.
The series serves as a reminder that all of us, no matter how good, bad, or otherwise it seems we are doing in life, carry our own heavy weights.
