Excellent podcast! Well done story telling and an absolute mind f**k. It's unfortunate and crazy that it's a true story. I recommend it.

Description

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 behaviour we get from our ancestors? Are we all just better off alone? Forever is a Long Time is a five-episode series 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.Hear episodes early and ad-free on CBC Stories Premium on Apple Podcasts.Season 1 | Run, Hide, Repeat: a story of a childhood spent on the run.Season 2 | Welcome to Paradise: a courageous escape from domestic violence.Season 3 | Short Sighted: an attempt to explain what vision loss feels like by exploring how it sounds.Season 4 | Sorry About The Kid: an emotional, deeply personal meditation on the loss of a sibling.Season 5 | Toy Soldier: The unbelievable story of a Jewish boy amongst Nazis.Season 6 | Forever is a Long Time: Every living member of Ian Coss' family who has been married has gotten divorced.
