Customer Reviews
I love this podcast
This podcast is awesome. I’m new to Quakerism, and this podcast has been quite insightful. Please keep up the amazing work.
Thoughtful podcasts - useful to both Friends and those wishing to learn more about Friends
I enjoy the mix of topics from historical to current issues faced by Friends’ meetings. I appreciate the way Georgia Sparling and Jon Watts present the challenges of following a leading. Recent episodes have reminded me that some of the most prominent Quaker activists found a home in or grew up in Quakerism, only to find that later they outgrew the Quaker community. I have experienced this with some of my own contemporaries!
The episodes have a good length; the sound quality is good and the music supports the listening experience. I hope to use the episode on hybrid meetings as we continue to explore the use of zoom technology in my meeting.
Soooo good
This podcast is great for those that want to learn about quakerism as well as for those that are already quaker. For a new Podcasts they’ve got great production values and commitment to quality, integrity, honesty, beauty. I can’t wait to see where this goes!
