Customer Reviews
Must-listen!
Marion comes to the interview prepared. She reads the book, and asks deep, probing questions that provoke true conversation. Her podcast has diverse topics, and though she asks the same one or two questions of the people she interviews, each conversation is unique, delightful and filled with insight and useful information.
Love this podcast
Marion never fails to conduct her podcast interviews in a way that brings out the craft details, process details, and the joy of the creator.
I never miss an episode
Loved this episode with Bryan. It's filled with practical advice and as a fellow mediator, it was so great to hear him mention TM.
