I love listening to this podcast. Everything Mirai does is top notch! My wife even loves to listen to this with me. Something about Ryan Neil, he just pulls you in to every word he says!

Love the podcast. I listen to all the episodes and look forward to many more. Capturing the feeling of Bonsai doesn’t alway mean you’re talking directly about Bonsai. Fun and insightful conversations with artists, conservationists, and everyday people. 5 out of 5.

Yes
Thank you Mr. Neal. I have strong love of the content bonsai understanding. This podcast is my favorite, but lots big megabytes size making it difficult to listen. Please can file size it be less than 100 mb. Jambo, Sensei Neal. :). Trees are good education for adult yes :)

Talk of bonsai but then it branches out into areas I’d never have expected. Interesting guests and content.

Asymmetry is on the cutting edge of bonsai, merging both the artistic and scientific elements of bonsai. I’ve learned so much already... can’t wait for more episodes! Bonsai Mirai is the best!

I just wanted to say how much this podcast means to me. Through tough times it has kept my bonsai fire burning with passion. Along with the JRE, this is hands down my most listened to and loved podcast. I am currently on part 2 of the Tom and Jan podcast and those are some cool cats. Thank...Read full review »

My go to podcast for road trips and playing away in the background while working on trees. Never fails to entertain.

I enjoy the podcast generally. However, I'm not sure if it is me but on many of the podcasts, randomly in the middle it seems to be edited back to previous dialogue. So I end up with a lot of repeated dialogue within a given podcast. It is somehow edited seamlessly, so I only notice it by...Read full review »

I feel a lot of appreciation to Bonsai Mirai and Ryan Neil, it has changed and opened my mind towards mechanisms and concepts about bonsai i never knew and certainly didn't understand. i live paycheck to paycheck and can't afford even the 18.00 dollars a month to be on Mirai.... i was for...Read full review »

Very good podcast, especially for beginners in bonsai. I learned a lot of new things!
androyea via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/21/19
It’s just people talking about themselves. There’s very little educational content. The first episode is a bunch of memoirs and when they later get guest speakers in the speakers just talking about events they’ve been to. That’s it. Don’t bother starting this podcast because you’ll never get...Read full review »

This podcast is so enjoyable beyond the confines of bonsai...which lacks confines altogether with such open-minded and philosophically engaging conversations. I've heard almost every one and will continue to listen weekly. Thanks!Read full review »

This is not so much a discussion of technique as it is one of deeper understanding, philosophical aspects and intriguing conversation surrounding bonsai. Everybody should take a look at their website and archive of teaching videos. Great podcast!

Keep it coming! I love the discussion of the history of bonsai in the US and notable practitioners. The theory behind the art and design is also fascinating.
