Hosted by Chris Grimes, a facilitator, coach, and self-styled motivational comedian, The Good Listening To Show: Stories of Distinction & Genius operates on a beautifully simple idea: everyone has a remarkable story if someone takes the time to truly hear it. This podcast is that act of generous attention, creating what fans describe as a 'day spa' for your brain. Each conversation is structured as a unique and enjoyable journey, moving beyond standard interviews into a space of genuine discovery. The show lives across several realms-society, culture, health, fitness, relationships, and comedy-because human stories refuse to be neatly categorised. You’ll hear from a diverse range of voices, each given the platform to tell their story out loud, based on the belief that speaking your narrative is the first step toward living it more fully. The tone is one of kindness and unexpected insight, often punctuated by laughter, making for a thoroughly engaging listen. This isn't about interrogation; it's about connection and the quiet genius found in ordinary and extraordinary experiences alike. Tune in for a thoughtful, often humorous, and always human exploration of what happens when we actually listen.
