A micro-podcast about the lives and experiences of people who have my name.

My name is Michael Johnson. A name that's easy, generic, possibly forgettable. But I am not alone. There are others like me, other Michael Johnsons.

Follow my brief conversations with these otherwise strangers to find out how names define us, how we define them, and see just how different (or sometimes similar) life can be for two people with nothing in common except the name they were given.
