I still think about this episode a lot. I am a person with constant ideas. And I’m always disappointed in some way when I bring them to life. It’s so good to hear that it’s a normal ans good thing. Also I love the idea of seeing everything, even the mundane, as part of the art piece. I am inspired to play the long game and accept circumstances and people as they are not as I want them to be.
This is life changing. I have listened to it 3 times. I offer up my estranged son’s childhood.
Also...in listening to this the second time around... I want to know the WHOLE ROB BELL. It will not change my perception of you. And I really admire your audacity in all you’ve done. Grief is also part of joy...like you say in that one tour.
After I listened to this Rob cast, I listened to the Quartet for the End of Time. Stunningly beautiful!
I’ve been burned so many times at so many jobs. I don’t even have a career and I’m in my 30s. I know you always say it’s not too late. But there’s trauma in what you go through and it’s real. How can you deal with that? I tried journalism, wanting to give voices to others. I still believe I’m meant to write. I’ve been involved in a screenplay group since you’ve released this episode. It’s less lonely. But still not making the bills.
WARNING Some listeners may find this episode challenging, disturbing or triggering. At least half of this episode is about the death of the podcaster’s father.
This episode touched me deeply. I lost the love of my life after being with him for only 5 years. He disappeared just like that, a sudden heart attack. Listening to someone’ genuine grief and authenticity is so luminous … Thank You so much !
Rob, you already know this, but I LOVE you AND your family. You’re just as amazing as your dad, if not more, in my opinion.
dude. DUDE. this is what I was writing to myself about last weekend, what I’ve been feeling for a while. spooky. come up to the Bay Area! you have fans here. - Tess
