Confession Time
Confession Time is a live radio show that also streams as a podcast to expand the audience, which is now estimated at 12 million people. It is hosted by a young male with a pleasant radio voice and a professional retired therapist, a wise grandmother character. The 30-min show takes up to three calls from complete strangers who want to work through something they need to confess on air. The calls are always authentic (not selected or screened by the show producers) and anonymous. To ease the callers, their voice is modified during the call. The show uses simulated audience reaction noises administered by the host, but there’s no audience at the studio. Below is a transcript of one of its shows.

55. Top Story - February 2025.
I turned 55 on Sunday, Feb. 2, the Groundhog Day. And it hit me hard. I do occasionally suffer from the Birthday Blues. You know, no one's getting younger and every year is another wrinkle on your face and in other places. I know, I know, there are a lot of people even in this community who might think, "55! I wish I were that young again!" and I do understand them. I really do. We all have different perspectives on our own age.

Creamy Mushroom & Spinach Salmon
I’ve seen this recipe in my Facebook reels multiple times in slightly different variations and wanted to try it for a long time but never had all the ingredients for it. Yesterday, I finally did. So here it is, shared for your pleasure.

Mermaid on a Motorcycle
Have you ever seen a mermaid ride a motorcycle? – Neither did I. Until yesterday, that is. You will, of course, reasonably object that this is all made up, just a stupid joke. Because no one can ride a motorcycle with one limb, pardon me one tail, as the motorcycle requires the balance of two equally weighted legs. And I would have fully agreed with you. Again, only before yesterday, when I saw it with my own eyes. But let me tell you everything from the beginning.

Quiet Quitting: If Sisyphus Had Gen-Z Attitude & Outlook on Life
I’ve been doing this for three thousand years. At least that's what I estimate, more or less. Can’t tell more precisely because I lost count of days and nights. With this type of a job, you would too, anyone would. Yes, I have to roll this huge rock up not only during the day but at night, too. Up and down, up and down. I roll it up, almost all the way to the top, it rolls down under its weight and I have to start over.

A Future Train Ride
I’m riding a train somewhere in Europe, reading a book but mostly looking around to admire the scenery. My son is sitting next to me on the right, scrolling through the vast collection of music on his phone. Sometimes he’d just stick one of his earphones into my ear, “Listen to this one.”

The End of The Tour (2015). Top Story - January 2025.
I have a confession to make: I was yesterday years old when I discovered David Foster Wallace and his significance as a contemporary American writer. I'll turn 55 in a couple of weeks. I know, it's embarrassing. My only excuse is that I lived half of my life in the Soviet and post-Soviet cultures.
