Customer Reviews
Thom
He was really something. Best teacher I’ve ever had. Thank you for this.
Organic thoughts
I really like Podula Rasa since it is a truly organic podcast in the sense that one episode leads to the content of the next. The podcasters are informative and in tune with the creative process, and I enjoy how the musical interludes in each episode are chosen with purpose.
Thoughtful memories
Thank you for sharing this podcast, well done. I never knew how soothing your voices are, too. I was engaged right from the start! I, unfortunately, never had Tom as a teacher, but I wanted to learn more from your experiences. He was the wind to many flames, inspiration lit. Looking forward to next episode, thanks!
