About TMST

In the exhausting flood of misinformation, noise, and endless distraction we live in today, TMST is the life raft we all need to return to our hearts. From poets to philosophers to scientists to athletes, Laura talks to people who’ve learned something essential about being human and shares her own wisdom along the way.

TMST is produced by Mikel Ellcessor, co-founder of WNYC studios and co-creator of Radiolab, Freakonomics Radio, Death, Sex & Money, and many more groundbreaking podcasts.

Listen, subscribe, and support.

One stranger who understands your experience exactly will do for you what hundreds of close friends and family who don't understand cannot. It is the necessary palliative for the pain or stretching into change.
It is the cool glass of water in hell.
