Going deep!

puzzelld

I love hearing these deep-dives into the work of the artists Annemarie Kelly-Harbaugh interviews. She asks all the questions I’d want to ask! She does an amazing job of bringing out a greater understanding of the work and helps create a context of this work with her thoughtful questions.
Always goes somewhere interesting

Annemarie sounds so natural and so genuinely interested in her interviewees. It’s like being an introvert at a party where the really cool, fascinating people go and talk with each other :)
Beautiful

AnneMarie is a real human as are her guests. I enjoy and relate to her struggles and fears and her love of Oliver. Her guests brighten my day and offer another way of seeing that is new and yet familiar. Multifaceted guests and great questions followed by profound responses.
Haven’t missed a podcast

Great guests, some I know of but more are new to me with unique stories and perspectives. Looking forward to reading their work. I enjoy the interchange, the humor, the heartfelt glimpses into the guests’ lives, the probing for meaning and of course, the ending icebreakers. Great job!
