In each episode, Mal sits down with a new ghost to build a portrait of their life, their death, and their afterlife... all to help them release whatever still ties their soul to this reality.

During his 45 years in prison, Michael Thompson became one of the few people to leave the white supremacist gang alive — and to testify against it. But is Thompson a gentle soul trapped by a broken system, or, as his critics claim, a master manipulator who can’t be trusted?

I've been pretty obsessed with the idea of forgiveness the last few years, trying to tease apart when it empowers and when it becomes something that appeases the worst kind of behavior. So when my friend Katy told me about Wilma Derksen, a woman who chose forgiveness in the face of unimaginable tragedy, I had to figure out how she was able to do it.

One of the great ironies of today's "Golden Age" of podcasts is that it's hard to find work that stands out and has creative ambitions. Fearful Symmetry--a mix of surreal monologues, conversations, and ephemera from Bob Paris--is definitely an exception. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
