Jonathan Goldstein from Heavyweight (Gimlet Media) is my guest this week! Jonathan has had a long and storied career in Canada and the US and is one of the best story tellers in audio today (this is no exaggeration folks!) and we dive deep on his time with CBC's Wiretap, his time at This American Life and of course, Season 1 and the upcoming second season of his excellent show, Heavyweight! I'm a huge fan and have personally connected significantly with Heavyweight and I think you will too!
