 At some point, you may have been told that you shouldn’t live in the past, but instead you should embrace the present. It’s good advice, but what do you do if your past is haunting your present? What if, try as you might, you can’t get around it on your own? Enter the Heavyweight, also known as award-winning radio and podcast producer and host Jonathan Goldstein.

On Goldstein’s hit podcast “Heavyweight,” he facilitates hard conversations and asks the questions that we feel like we cannot ask for ourselves. His trademark combination of empathy and self-deprecating humor results in heartwarming stories that are as likely to leave you laughing as they are crying.

“Heavyweight” recently topped the New Yorker’s list of “Best Podcasts for 2022,” and to celebrate, Jonathan Goldstein joined “City Lights” senior producer Kim Drobes via Zoom.
