I Hear You, Babe
I Hear You, Babe is your weekly voice note from someone who overshares for a living.
Hosted by Dino Malvone—founder of SaltDrop, full-time feeler, part-time hater—this pod is where we unpack the mess, the magic, the spirals, and the stuff you should probably still be talking about in therapy.
Some episodes will make you laugh so hard you snort. Others might have you crying in your car outside a CVS. Either way: you’re not alone. I hear you. I got you.
Let’s get into it.

This week on I Hear You, Babe, we’re easing into it.
I start by talking about losing Dude and how grateful I am that we were able to say goodbye at home. It was quiet. It was sad. It was peaceful. And yes, I cried like a child.
From there, we settle into a very real, very human mega episode about what actually helps when you’re not okay — not in an Instagram way, not in a fix-it way, but in the way people actually survive hard seasons.
You’ll hear long listener emails and shorter ones. Stories about grief, relationships, therapy, doing less, neutral days, sitting on the floor, going to the same bar, loving animals, and letting things be unfinished.
I also do a lot of chitchatting.
Interrupting.
Reacting.
Sitting with things instead of tying them up.
If you’re not okay right now, this episode isn’t here to make you better.
It’s here to keep you company.
