Heavyweight
Some regrets aren't huge. They just never leave. Here's what happens when someone actually calls back.
Who it's for
Each episode takes one person's unresolved moment (a lost friend, a childhood cruelty, a family silence) and actually goes back to it, so listeners watch repair being attempted rather than just talked about.
Feelings it meets
What it is
Heavyweight is a non-fiction podcast created and hosted by humorist Jonathan Goldstein. In each episode he helps a guest revisit an unresolved question, relationship or event from their past in search of some closure. It launched on Gimlet Media in 2016, was cancelled in December 2023, and was revived by Pushkin Industries in 2025.
Where to find it
