A woman starts noticing she can see directly into her neighbors’ apartment across the way, and what she watches unfold over the following months completely gets her. No spoilers, just go in blind and give it 20 minutes.”

I always play them this episode as an example of how (counterintuitively) podcasting is an incredibly visual medium that relies on specificity of details. I've listened to it dozens of times and it never fails to move me. This is the line that always gets me: "15 years and that window meant nothing, and now it's all I think about"”
