  • This podcast is exactly what we need

    It’s Blues Clues for adults. It’s exactly what we all need right now. Nothing flashy, not overstimulating, not screaming in your face. It’s calm, it’s a peaceful conversation with a friend. It has thought, real conversation. Just listening to the audio and I feel like we are sitting in a cozy coffee shop, making eye contact and having a real chat with substance. It’s a beautiful moment. Thank you Steve for this gift.

  • Thank You!

    The host, the podcast and these discussions are exactly what we need right now in our society. I knew this podcast would pull at my heartstrings from watching Steve delight and entertain my daughter when she was a little girl. He’s always made his audience feel seen, and here we are again, feeling seen and heard by being included in the conversations on this podcast. Well done!
