Every episode, there is a segment called Recommendation of the Week where my guests and I suggest a powerful body of work for others to engage with, be it a book, film, documentary, series, album, or even some advice. Below is a running list of all of the suggestions listed from each episode. Check back every so often to see the updated list and be sure to listen to each episode to hear it directly from us!
