  • great

    I recently lost this podcast from my feed. I had to search Jane Siberry, as I remembered this was a featured artist on one of his episodes, in order to find him again. This podcast is excellent and I really enjoy Eric's tastes and insights. thank you!

  • News + Astrology

    I have listened to a couple Astrology podcasts and what makes Eric unique is his team of researchers that help tie current events into Astrology transits for a comprehensive vision of the energetic world we live in. Without his comparisons and conclusions, the power of astrology would have never been illuminated for me. Thank you Eric!
