I’m so thrilled by the existence of this post! I’m chronic for podcasts, and Heavyweight is so special, almost the epitome of the perfect podcast. As a Canadian-loving Canadian, Jonathan Goldstein is earnest and funny and heartbreaking, and his voice is enormously comforting. I just had to let you know how exciting (in These Unprecedented Times) it was for me, a fan of both of yours, to see you intersect. I would listen to anything that the two of you produced together. Please say you have a moment from your past that feels unresolved, and you could really use Jonathan’s help???
With your reply, I’m beyond simply tickled. I’m at bare minimum straddled-by-3-male-athletes tickled!!! Thanks for that, and please keep up all the good work.
Out of curiosity and I can’t seem the find the answer online, does Gregory get writing credits or royalties from the songs now? I mean it would be a lot of $$ right?
This was a great read. I loved Moby. Saw him live in Manchester was in second row and he was incredible. David, I couldn't suggest a better podcast than Stephen Fry's 7 deadly sins series. It's delicious to the ears and brain. Love your work, you are so clever and bloody funny! Thanks so much.
I am now imagining the day when i get to do the same with you( if the universe is kind enough ) ...telling you what a big fan i am and asking all my questions about your work. ... What we do in the shadows is what i will always remember taika by ...... I know he did an amazing job with Thor: Ragnarok but i pride myself on being a fan of his work much before all that jojo ...
Since you recommended that episode, I binged all of the Heavyweight episodes. God it's a good show. So funny and also so touching. And Gregor really is hilarious. Loving your website, David!
I just listened to that podcast, a few years late. One thing really struck out and disturbed me, if I heard it correctly. Did Gregor say that he has two children, but only one of them is “beautiful“? Did I hear that correctly? I find that so hurtful and sad and cruel if that is really what he said.
wow this was so interesting! i love thinking about how small the world can be, lots of us are randomly connected, very cool!
i hope your week is also going well David! :)
It's going very well thankyou, Bella
But did he ever get his CDs back??
He still hasn't!
Noooo!

I am SO glad this very niche post tickled you! I adore Jonathan and am still waiting for the perfect problem to present itself!

Hi David, always cool stuff!
Thanks Erica. I try and write about fun things. The world can be cool!
Out of curiosity and I can’t seem the find the answer online, does Gregory get writing credits or royalties from the songs now? I mean it would be a lot of $$ right?
As far as I understand it, no. I imagine the artists on the CDs Gregor lent Moby get some $$$ though. Or at least, I hope they did!

Thanks for this podcast tip, Kirsty! I have never caught Moby live before.. maybe one day. Once this Covid business has settled down....

Heavyweight is like the perfect mix of laughs and poignancy, huh. Really glad you dug it.
