Hey, it's Dr. Laurie Santos here.

As a podcast host, I'm often asked, what's your favorite podcast?

And my answer is always the same.

My favorite podcast is heavyweight.

Heavyweight's a show about creating space for difficult conversations

and resolving long-standing regrets with humor and empathy.

Each week host Jonathan Goldstein sits down with people to revisit a defining regret,

or a lost connection, or an unsolved mystery from their life.

Jonathan tries to help his guests make it right, often with a fair bit of comedy mixed in.

Heavyweight is pretty much the best podcast ever, so you could imagine how excited I was when my favorite podcast joined the Slate here at Pushkin.

And today I'm extra excited, since Heavyweight is finally launching their new season.

And that means I get to share one of Heavyweight's new episodes with you.

In this episode of Heavyweight, you'll hear from Gregor.

Gregor's parents are pushing 90, and Gregor wants to move them out of their big Victorian home.

But his parents refuse.

So Gregor has come up with a bold plan to get them out.

As I'm sure you'll soon see, this is a really touching story about learning to let go.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Here's heavyweight.

Hello.

I'd like to welcome to the show, Jackie Cohen.
