Anja For President

We pay tribute to Anja’s voice and intellect and humor and creativity and curiosity and all-around coolness. We always get excited to hear what’s on Anja’s mind - and the people she chooses to figure it out with. Where Anja goes, we will follow! 😊

Logic and feels

These are wonderful audio journeys and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed each one of them. Though the topics and interviews are wildly variable, they all feel connected by the undercurrent of Anja’s authentic voice and unique narrative style. And I love the frogs!

Subtle, and Potent

Anja is a brilliant storyteller, weaving monologue, conversation, sound, and subtlety in each episode. My favorite episode, ‘Put Away,’ explored habits & mindfulness with a fresh perspective that I hope to incorporate into my routine. Thank you Anja!
