Pondercast explores the thoughts and feelings we often feel but rarely put into words or sound. Host Laurie Brown writes thought-provoking scripts set to ambient scores by Joshua Van Tassel. We dive beneath discomfort, into the mundane, and examine the sky. We explore the unknown within the solace of the present moment.
New episodes every three weeks.

Order and Chaos
When life changes from order to chaos and then to….nothing. We are lost in space. I’m here to report back.

124. Steady
Hi.
There is nothing new we can say about the month of January... or is there?
There are two phrases that came to me in the grey gloom and they are:
1) soft and alive 2) rich and steady
Work with me.
Yours in January solidarity, Laurie and Joshua -

121 - Lists
Chances are you have a list kicking around your place right now. Maybe a
shopping list – or a ‘to do’ list? Do you make a list of pros and cons when
faced with a big decision? We humans love our lists because they offer a
placebo effect to the complex chaos of our world. -
Pondercast - High Dive
Pondercast is taking a high dive this fall for our 6th season.
Our new motto: Expect the unexpected...unexpectedly.
This episode is our first step to a new, more immersive, embodied experience for you.
Climb the Yarmouth, Nova Scotia lighthouse with me..and dive down into the cold waters of
The Bay of Fundy.
An antidote to that all too familiar ‘back to school’ feeling.
Customer Reviews
Cozy Nostalgia
I remember listening to Laurie Brown on The Signal on CBC radios. Her voice would always lull me into a sleepy dream state. I’m so happy she has her own show now and hearing her voice and her particular sound blending style is very nostalgic!
A gem of all gems.
I didn’t think anything could ever fill the Signal size hole in my heart. Laurie always knows what to say to fill your cup & soothe your soul.
Wonderful meditation - too much covid talk
This podcast has been so wonderful since it became such a meditation hot spot! The music really helps me be present and not wonder off so much.
I wish there was less moping about covid though. The pandemic certainly is serious, but the amount of lament about can come across like it comes from a place of unrelatable privilege. It would really be a gift to talk less about covid and offer more tools for being in the moment, not focusing so heavily on things middle-class and other wealthy Canadians have lost or are finding inconvenient. Middle-class Canadians really are extremely fortunate both globally and also within Canada. Masks, shields, and living at home in our 30s don't have to cause permanent suffering or be so focused on, especially during a meditation we may have turned to for elevation and fresh perspective.
