Sometimes you get an urge to look back at your past,

and the decisions you regret or the connections you lost.

And you start to wonder, what if things have gone differently?

Heavyweight is a podcast that looks into that question and tries to make things right.

Listening to a single episode, you can laugh, cry, reflect on crossroads in your own life,

or even find the closure you might be searching for.

The first thing I do is a physical routine.
