  • Yes but..

    Ryan is the greatest bonsai artist in America in my opinion. But dude, you need to talk less when you’re interviewing someone. You have plenty of opportunities to tell your story and express your opinions. When you have someone on your show you gotta let them talk! Still love you but seriously…

  • One of my all time favorite art podcasts. I love learning about bonsai of course, but for this particular podcast, I find the most value in hearing how other artists think and talk about their work and process. It is inspiring and affirming for myself as an artist. These conversations often help me to think about my own creative work in new ways, and from different angles. Thank you so much for all you do!

  • Great conversations

    Love the podcast. I listen to all the episodes and look forward to many more. Capturing the feeling of Bonsai doesn’t alway mean you’re talking directly about Bonsai. Fun and insightful conversations with artists, conservationists, and everyday people. 5 out of 5.
