Unread

A wonderful tribute to a friend. Crafted with all the care in the world. Chris and everyone who worked on it are amazing.

If you love podcasts about queer self-discovery, friendships, the internet, personas and/or Britney (!!!) this one is IN THE ZONE. A deeply tender and touching look at a friend struggling w mental health and the aftermath of his passing due to suicide.

What a beautiful story of friendship and grief with an underlying connection to none other than Britney Spears. On this podcast, host Chris shares a sincere and touching tribute to his late friend Alex. It’s his dynamic storytelling that takes listeners on an emotional journey filled with laughs, mystery and sadness.

Thank you all who made this podcast. The way Unread explores grief and how connected we all are through our chosen family is remarkable. I find so many parallels in my own life listening to the stories of Alex and how he allowed everyone to be themselves and be loved as they are. As the story unfolds Chris and everyone in this podcast show how rich, beautiful, and complicated the connections we make in this life are. But ultimately, how lucky are we to experience the joys that people like Alex bring to everyone they bring into their chosen family. The storytelling and grief processing are lovingly interwoven over the course of the four episodes. The celebration of how music, artists, and pop culture can reinforce the bonds of family and shared memories that last beyond our own lifetime is wonderful. Everyone who worked on this podcast should be proud of the story they have told and how Alex’s memory can live on.
