I love this podcast so much! I keep it in my library so I can start it again when I need a boost! The compassion, the actionable information keeps me from feeling hopeless

What a gorgeous addition to the abundance of thoughtful, enlightening, impactful, long-form interview podcasts with women hosts (Kate, Kelly, Maya, Anna, Nora…) each of whom bring her own unique perspectives and styles. Lucy, you bring great depth and sensitivity to each interview, you never “get in the way” of your guest, and always leave me much to think about. “On Mortality and Meaning” was brilliant and indelible. It is beautiful that you pay homage to Paul by including poetry at the end of each episode. Thank you for this podcast.

Beautiful podcast with fascinating conversations. Love the poetry at the end. If you are wary because the topics sound depressing, don’t be, the wisdom of Lucy and her guests will leave you uplifted.

Your soul will feel restored after listening to these podcasts. They are a salve against the ceaseless anxieties of the world.

I feel like this whole podcast is an epilogue of When Breath Becomes Air, which is great because I loved that book! Lucy’s voice is so calming and soothing. The content is always so honest and raw too. There is no fear of being vulnerable, which for me, makes it more relatable. I love it! Episode 6, you guys! Cady reading Paul’s words. So beautiful!

This episode made me feel lonelier.

I love the way this podcast looks at hard things in unusual ways. This in turn empowers listeners to think about and embrace a wider, richer, more fulfilling repertoire of responses to hardship. I’m so grateful for this beautiful podcast.

This is a wonderful podcast. Very thoughtful and inspiring. Lucy is such an insightful and sensitive interviewer. Can’t wait for the next episode.

Lucy’s soothing voice and the interesting subjects really made me stop and listen. I love the poetry too!

You and Joanna should do a podcast together! Really enjoyed the episode! Would love to hear more from you both!

Loved loved the first two episodes Can’t wait to get more from Lucy I had read her writing previously - as well as the writing from her first two guests. But having them in conversation, very well thought out conversation & dynamic - was a joy. I can’t wait for future episodes. The poem with each podcast read by a different not-guest is also excellent. I love how Lucy shared how important poetry is to her each time. Thankyou for putting this out there and please keep making it :)

I’m a 2-3 hour a day podcast listener (at 2x speed) so listen to a LOT of podcasts. My favorites are This American Life, Making Sense, Anthropocene Reviewed, Reply All, Invisibilia, You’re Wrong About and now Gravity. What an incredible perspective and take on life’s greatest challenges. Lucy is calm and eloquent and insightful and honest. Give it a try, you will love it

I was eager to hear more of Lucy’s voice after reading her epilogue in Paul Kalanithi’s memoir, and her podcast is so thoughtful. Her perspectives are woven into the interview material, and I love the inclusion of a poem at the end. I can’t wait to hear more episodes.

This podcast in tone and theme resonates with me deeply. Thank you Lucy. xo

I am a non trad premed cancer widow and autoimmune patient currently applying to medical school after a long career working in film. “How do I get through this” has been a constant throughout my life. I was delighted to hear Dr. Kalanathi’s calm voice talking about this in the intro to this podcast. I look forward to many more whole hearted and insightful episodes. Highly recommended!

Dr. Kalanathi’s podcast is real and raw. I can’t wait for the next episode!

This podcast is like drinking a cup of tea on a rainy day. Dr. Kalanithi’s soothing voice and demeanor and that of Dr. Murthy buoyed me during this hard time. I’m looking forward to so many more episodes!

Another podcast (Majority 54) gave a quick plug for the podcast in the beginning of their most recent episode. So glad I checked this out!

Dr. Lucy Kalanithi is just brilliant! She brings such insight, compassion and thoughtfulness to a set of challenging topics. You will be moved by her conversations. Do not miss this podcast, it just may change your life!

Dr Kalanithi’s voice is needed in a time when we need to connect to the heart of each other and understand what makes us survive. She has shown us that in her own story over and over and will only continue to do so with this podcast. I look forward to listening!

I loved reading when Breath Becomes Air so there’s no doubt I’m going to love this podcast. Looking forward to the rest of the season!

I cannot wait for this show. Lucy is such a deep and compassionate thinker. Loved the trailer and can’t wait for the full season!

I’m already hooked and I’ve only heard the trailer! Thank you!

After such a hard year, I could use a new frame of mind and Gravity seems to be offering exactly that. Lucy Kalanithi is going to be an excellent, empathetic host. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Can't wait to listen to the whole series.

What a beautiful breath of fresh air, to tackle these difficult subjects with such a gentle, humble, open approach. This podcast is so gorgeous. I will share with my friends going through hard times!
