    Stunning and beautiful. It somehow feels wrong when I refer to this as a “podcast”. Joshua’s work here is simply magnificent.

  • Binge worthy!

    Soooooo much creativity, time, passion, heart, art, love,and life seems to be put into this podcast. I am so glad my friend sent me the death episode. After listening to that one, I started binging this podcast immediately. I can hardly wait for more episodes. Thank you for putting your work and gifts out there! My soul is screaming that this is exactly all I needed to hear. I am thinking about becoming a patron to support the show!

    Do yourself a favor. Slip away and sink into the wonder of rich, deep, and true storytelling. Each episode of The Emerald is thoughtful, magical, and transformative. You may find yourself on a side-quest, but that’s okay. Just go with it. And come back again and again, because you will never listen to an episode just once.

    I give it ten (10) stars.
