The co-hosts add their own perspectives and commentary, creating the feeling of sitting around with friends rather than listening to an interview. One of my favorite features is the original story and poem they create for each guest—a creative, personal touch that makes every episode memo... more

  • It was such a pleasure speaking with Doyle and Howie - they make a great team!

    It was such a pleasure speaking with Doyle and Howie - they make a great team! Our conversation flowed easily and naturally, exploring meaningful ideas about the power of early childhood experiences and the importance of “unlearning” what no longer serves us through creativity. And of course, some poetry and storytelling read aloud by both gentleman!
