Introducing: Forever is a Long Time

from Radiotopia Presents: We're Doing the Wiz Hosted by Radiotopia

When Ian Coss decided to get married, every living member of his family who had ever been married had also gotten divorced: parents, grandparents, and all his aunts and uncles on both sides — some of them twice. Today, he has questions: What is the value of a lifetime commitment? Are we doomed to recycle the patterns of behavior we get from our ancestors? Are we all just better off alone? Forever is a Long Time is a five-episode series from CBC’s Personally that weaves reflection and original music through Ian’s conversations with his wife and divorced family members — a look at love with people who have made mistakes. Get lost in someone else’s life. From a mysterious childhood spent on the run, to a courageous escape from domestic violence, each season of Personally invites you to explore the human experience in all its complexity, one story — or season — at a time. This is what it sounds like to be human. More episodes of Personally can be found here: https://link.mgln.ai/fialt-wdtw Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
