  • Always feel encouraged after listening

    I enjoy listening to this podcast - the host has interesting guests and is good at engaging in conversation - it is like sitting down with friends to have a conversation - he is humble.

    As someone who now listens to vinyl and is discovering more music over the past few years his questions at the end for the guests and how specific songs have influenced them has been insightful and helped me discover more songs and helping me expand my understanding of music .

77: DTN Podcast | Jim Alstott Ep. 77 | God Told Me to Make This Record | Drew McManus of Satsang
Q: What inspired the name Elohim and the direction of the new record?
A revelatory experience told me to name the record Elohim and make it for God, which led me to embrace agency, independence, and a spiritual throughline in the music.
78: DTN Podcast | Jim Alstott Ep. 78 | Joey's Song: He Couldn't Speak. The Music Did. | Mike Gomoll
Q: What was the first moment you realized Joey's Song could become something bigger than you expected?
The shift happened during the early live CD release activities when a small club show grew into a bigger, more professional production after enlisting known collaborators; the whisper of possibility turned into a full realization during the week leading up to the show when demand and attention exploded, confirming this could be big.
76: DTN Podcast | Jim Alstott Ep. 76 | Fire, Brimstone and Converse | Rev. Dr. Rob Zahn
Q: What did each of those rooms teach you about what music actually does to people, and how does that inform your theology?
Zahn shares that different musical styles in Las Vegas showed him music's power to connect people across diverse backgrounds, reinforcing the belief that music is a universal language that binds humanity and informs a theology of inclusion rather than rigid borders.
73: DTN Podcast | Jim Alstott Ep. 73 | Are Your Dreams Trying to Tell You Something? | Cheryl Bradley
Q: Can you walk us through the simple yes-no method to check in with spirit?
Cheryl details the CAR method: clear, ask, receive, emphasizing that yes/no questions are a good starting point to learn one's spiritual language, and that you should validate what you receive against your feelings and experience.

She recalls being unintentionally broadcast on Facebook by a tech-enabled colleague, which was uncomfortable in human terms but affirming in spiritual terms, marking a turning point that helped her own confidence in teaching mediumship.
