  • Absolutely joy-FULL and REAL.

    I’m delighted by you, Alexander, so it’s no surprise that your podcast is also a delight! It’s like the best “ear snack,” while also being soul and heart snacks, too. “Waking Blue” is stunningly beautiful & for me, it’s telling the story of my slowly finding my way out of/through a cancer diagnosis & experience this year to who I am becoming. Thank you for the work you do in this world!

  • One of my favorites!

    Alexander’s podcast is one of my very favorites. His voice is so soothing. I’m able to relax and feel like I’m all cozied up by a fire with a good book when I listen. I think he’s doing beautiful work in the world whether it’s with his music, his thoughts and words, or his inspired watercolors. Definitely worth a listen if you like the idea of slowing everything down and snuggling in for some much needed story-time.
