Person listening in a peaceful forest setting

Podcasts

Words for the quiet mind.

Christopher hosts two podcasts — one devoted to the practice of meditation and sound, the other to the full, complicated spectrum of being human in a noisy world. Both are made slowly, with care, and without an algorithm in sight.

Sound and Meditation

Guided meditations and conversations on the healing power of sound, silence, and deep listening.

Each episode is an invitation to stop. Some are guided meditations — ten to thirty minutes of structured stillness. Others are conversations with teachers, musicians, and researchers who have devoted their lives to understanding what happens when we truly listen. No ads. No sponsors. No rush.

All Sides Now

Exploring the full spectrum of human experience and how sometimes it is not about a song, but a sequence of songs...

Named after the Joni Mitchell song, All Sides Now is a long-form conversation podcast about how we live now — and how we might live differently connecting to the music we love. Explore the history and the creation of the music as we explore what the music means to the listener. Christopher brings his background in media studies and his experience of leaving it all behind, once the headphones are on or the volume is turned up on the speakers, to conversations that resist easy conclusions.
