“The conceit is that host Jonathan Goldstein helps people resolve unfinished emotional business from their past. Melancholy and funny (best combo?) + both low- and high-key life changing, potentially. Ep. 2 is an all-time piece of work.”

“One of the best out there when it comes to storytelling. Heavyweight’s episodes focus on an individual and a defining moment or person in their life—a car accident, a summer in Italy with a stranger-turned-friend, witnessing a terrible injury in the ER, being on a jury, finding a suitcase full of love letters—and the stories that grew from those moments. Each episode is so full of compassion and humanity.
