Hey Human Podcast

Hey Human. I’m Susan Ruth. I have interesting, enlightening, in-depth conversations with people from all walks. Sometimes I agree with them, sometimes their point of view couldn’t be further from mine. The world expands and contracts in experience and conversation. I find people fascinating… every human has a story.
