- On Replay Often
Water People is my #1 Podcast to listen too. You bring me peace and groundedness.
I replay my numerous, saved favorites, over and over again. Occasionally I will mix it up and replay something that strikes me in the moment.
I all too often become overwhelmed emotionally when I listen to my cultural, political and financial podcasts. Listening to you brings me back to my calm.
Thank you both!! đđŒđ©”

What good story, what good korero. You know if you canât get to the local coffee shop to enjoy a hot drink, meet a stranger and have a mean korero, this is the next best thing. Such a beautiful range of topics, conversations and nothing quite like a book recommendation from someone you admire!
Something for all the water people out there
Arohanui!
