Late to the party.
I just recently found this podcast and it feels like it was the right time to so, as the connection is joy for the soul and has contributed to my effort to be more creative. I love the wonder and easy banter you guys possess. The topics and interviews are thought provoking and intelligent and gives the listener a glimpse into worlds that might never encounter. Cheers!
So thoughtful and lovingly crafted. A delight.
I thought it might just fill the void after finishing Strange New Worlds but I’ve started this from the beginning and it is a beautiful listen. So thoughtful and lovingly crafted.
A delight.
Unlike other interview shows - especially ones by actors/celebrities, this one doesn’t have the self indulgent waffle or smug in jokes. The interviews also have a tendency to go in a different direction or tone to what I was expecting and this sense of surprise is a real hook.
Awesome, deep and inspirational!
Like someone had previously written, I came to The Well podcast through Anson Mount. There was an interview about “Strange New Worlds” and it mentioned the podcast and I was curious.... and have never looked back.
Listening to both Branan and Anson is an absolute pleasure as they discuss everything honestly and openly and aren’t afraid of laughing at themselves. Both and their guests are very down to earth and when they discuss their inspirations, it is absolutely fascinating.
This is my GO TO podcast. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
