Episode Details

On today's episode of Up+Adam, Adam sits down with Jonathan Goldstein, the creator and host of the acclaimed podcast Heavyweight. Known for helping real people revisit the moments that still weigh on them—lost friendships, family fallouts, the apology that never happened—Jonathan brings his signature mix of humor, depth, and emotional precision to a conversation that’s part storytelling masterclass, part human excavation.

They talk about the origins of Heavyweight, the ethics of revisiting pain, the stories that still haunt him, and how silence can sometimes say more than any scripted line. This episode is for anyone who’s ever stayed up late thinking, What if I had just said something back then...?



If you’re new to Heavyweight, consider this your sign to dive in. And if you’re already a fan, you’re going to love hearing the man behind the mic get a little reflective himself.
