- Introspective and creative
Listening to The Pause feels like stumbling into a dream where your dad is hosting a late-night radio show from an alternate dimension—and somehow, you’re into it. It’s weird, it’s eccentric, and half the time I don’t totally know what’s going on… but that’s kind of the point.
This isn’t your typical podcast. It’s not linear, it doesn’t hold your hand, and it definitely doesn’t explain itself. One minute you’re hearing about the philosophy of silence, the next you’re getting a monologue that so... more

Many thanks to Ari, Ash and the Parrot for giving me the opportunity to take a Pause from the devastating daily news cycle and take in thoughtful nourishing content that feeds me at a deeper level. Playful, irreverent, and soulful, it reminds me that I am not alone in longing for community that shares my values around ecology, the Sacred, and wild creative space.

Apple Podcasts5NPR-JunkieUnited States8 months ago - PAUSE
Ari + Ashley deliver an hour of playful yet meaningful subjects that are wonderfully contextualized, PAUSING at just the right moments. I especially love the PAUSE to dance and let what was spoken into the ether time to marinate with joyful abandon.
Apple Podcasts5Blondie2025United States8 months ago - Love The Pause
I love the organic and classic nature of this podcast. When Ari and Ash banter it’s like the antithesis of Howard Stern and Robin Quivers - A high culture, groundbreaking conversation that elevates and stays miles above the lowest common denominator that popular culture tries to force feed us, The Pause is a breath of Fresh Air. Too bad that name was already taken.
