Author and master storyteller Martin Shaw brings us the Smoke Hole Sessions – a series of vital conversations with inspirational people, in the hope that in the crackle of the thinking, the fire of the language, the visioning and the wildness of the exchanges, we may find breadcrumbs that lead us out of the forest again, and into a deeper life. Inspired by his new book Smoke Hole, Martin speaks to... more

I was looking to see what was happening with Martin Shaw these days and I came upon a book in audible “Smoke Hole” and so I thought well I’ll purchase it and see how I go and then heard via they that there was this podcast.
It’s an intriguing concept and yes the times we are in now have been so bizarre.
All the best Martin, if you do read the comments at all. Hopefully you will do more on this podcast soon.
Martin Shaw, I‘m so glad you „coaxed yourself - rather selfishly -back into the warm flank of other human beings“ and decided to share your insights and stories. I look forward to lots more - rather selfishly as well!
Wonderful voice wonderful content wonderful insightful episodes
My second time through the Smoke Hole conversations. If I didn’t know better I’d almost think Martin is prepping credible ground for the unthinkable comeback of agenda-pummelled sacred stories (i.e. ancient God-oriented narratives). Fingers crossed.
I loved these beacon lights on my lockdown walks and find myself revisiting their wisdom now as the seasons turn and the world order is struggling out of old skins. Thank you Martin & guests for blazing new trails and shining old mirrors. A fellow traveler
