Very “non linear” storyline is frustrating to listen to.

I did not at all enjoy this story. The constant jumping around was frustrating to listen to and if I had not paid for the credit in order to listen to the story, I probably would have not finished.

As a woman Army veteran, I am always so happy to find an inspiring story about women who served during WWII. Their bravery amazes me and this story about Nancy Wake was simply amazing.

Story
In telling the story of how I came to be cast as Atticus Finch, I think back to the young actor I used to be. I imagine the older me and the younger me sitting on a bench in Central Park. I imagine our conversation. The first season of Alive & Well Enough wraps up with “The End,” a song I recorded years ago with my Circle Rep friend and fellow songwriter Jonathan Hogan about looking back on a life spent telling stories.

I really enjoyed Jeff’s stories and music. I grew up about an hour from his home in Chelsea and I loved hearing the Michigan references.
Looking forward to more!

Story
In 1909, Clementine steps off a train with her new husband, Winston. An angry woman emerges from the crowd to attack, shoving him in the direction of an oncoming train. Just before he stumbles, Clementine grabs him by his suit jacket. This will not be the last time Clementine Churchill will save her husband. Lady Clementine is the ferocious story of the ambitious woman beside Winston Churchill, the story of a partner who did not flinch through the sweeping darkness of war, and who would not surrender either to expectations or to enemies.

It's been over a decade since Nora left her hometown of Scupper Island, Maine, and very seldom looked back. She's carved out a successful life in Boston, where no one knows her as the awkward girl with the delinquent sister and the dad who left, but a not-as-dramatic-as-it-sounds brush with death has her taking stock of her life. Inspired to reconnect with her prickly mother and snarky teenage niece, Nora returns home for the summer, where she's forced to face the people she's spent the last ten years trying to avoid.

Julian Klein, a young American artist, rebels against his religious upbringing and is eager for the artistic freedom of 1930s Paris. He flees Chicago only to find himself consumed by a world in which a paintbrush is far more lethal than a gun. An artist turned spy, Julian at the same time competes with jealous inferior artists who feverishly attempt to destroy those with true talent.

I enjoyed the story. But the narrator’s revolving accents are cringeworthy. Worth a listen, but how the producer allowed the accents is beyond me.

Story
Three men search for some version of home; their lives move inexorably toward a reckoning that will draw them all together. For Farouk, family is all. He has protected his wife and daughter as best he can from the war and hatred that has torn Syria apart. If they stay, they will lose their freedom. Lampy is distracted; he has too much going on in his small town life in Ireland. He has the city girl for a bit of fun, but she's not Chloe. The game was always the lifeblood coursing through John's veins: manipulating people for his enjoyment. But it was never enough.
