I feel like I could listen to her read the phone book and still be enraptured. But it turns out they're also fascinating conversations. I don't think I've ever heard someone ask the people they are interviewing "is there anything you'd like to ask me?" before.Read full review »

Thank you for such a great program. As a Arthur Jafa addict, I must say it’s one of his best out of the hundreds circulating out there. It really touched me as I listened to my cousin who is like a brother recount his battles that bought him to this point in his life. We grew up together and...Read full review »

Dear Helga, this last episode with Kevin Young was particularly easy to connect with, crowned by your in-progress poem about your mom’s illness. Having lost my mom to Alzheimer’s after over 10 years of losing her, it was really evocative and moving. Thank you. Fondly, Lydia

I feel so grateful to have found this wonderful practice of conversation that Helga has, how she meets whoever she is talking with humor and clarity and how understanding emerges from the experience the two people have of one another, getting to the truth of whatever arises.

I can’t even begin to say how many of my stagnant perspectives went soaring/dancing/laughing/crying into the they sky of my own creative life - just from listening to one episode. I am beyond grateful this podcast was shared with me - and Helga … you’re a beautiful mirror to look into. Everyone...Read full review »

Extraordinary - wildly accomplished artists and makers in many genres in genuine peer-to-peer conversation. Thanks Helga, thanks WNYC! LOVE THE NEW SEASON. Nick Cave interview is THE BEST.

Helga’s authenticity and warm nature come through so clearly on this podcast. She asks the questions I want to hear and it is so satisfying to listen to an interviewer “go there” with her subjects. When listening to this podcast I feel that I am at the table too, right in the moment watching this...Read full review »

I found this podcast through her episode with Krista Tippett. She brought out a side of Krista I had never heard before (and I had been a follower of hers for years). Helga is wise, present, and a phenomenal interviewer.
Hannah Tyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/20
I just discovered this podcast. Not only is Helga Davis an immensely gifted performance artist and singer, she’s a naturally gifted interviewer. It’s a joy to listen to her connect so naturally with her guests. Her genuine fondness for them, her personal connection to them and her willingness...Read full review »

In these difficult times, Helga’s conversations are a balm. Interesting, insightful, fun, meaningful. This is a wonderful podcast.

I have enjoyed every episode of this podcast. I listen while I create my art. Helga, and each creative spirit she is in conversation with, keep my soul company. Helga asks questions that intrigue and inspire. This podcast is a gift. I urge anyone to listen!
Sebastiansquid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/20
Listening to Helga interviews has allowed me to regain my footing as an artist during COVID quarantine. Helga has enabled me to heal, and to find my beloved, imaginative, and vibrant people again in New York City.

Helga feels like kindred. Her deep, resonant voice and perceptive sensibility about how we abide—in our body and in the world—bring me home to myself, in quietude, honesty, inner recognition, and joy. The intimate, vulnerable exchanges she shares with her guests are a lively gift.

So enjoy your shows. So much better than an interview. The conversation I’d like to have with your guest. Don’t go away.

I just started listening to Helga just a few days ago while painting my garage in quarantine, and I’ve had these wonderful conversations in my ears while I’m up and down ladders, minding every horizontal slat of weathered wood with a brand new coat of paint. What a BEAUTIFUL offering in the midst...Read full review »

I love Helga Davis' podcast. She often interviews people she is close to or has admired for years. When she interviewed Jacqueline Woodson last season, it was like two old friends talking. One of my favorite ones was very difficult. Helga confronted her old friend, the playwright Kenneth...Read full review »

This is a wonderful podcast! Helga’s casual yet thought-provoking interview style gives prominent public figures the familiarity of old friends. Her warm nature and approachability shines through in every interview she does. I highly recommend listening!

I have been craving honest conversations and thoughtful perspectives on life, art and humanity that Helga Davis brings to the podcast table. So thrilled to have stumbled upon this meal that always leaves me hungry for more!!
MellyMae82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/18
I was first introduced to Helga when she was part of The Takeaway, and was heartbroken when she left that show. From time to time I’ve tried to find out what’s her next gig. I’m OVER THE MOON to stumble across her podcast today & ecstatic to her her voice and thoughts once again!
Ric_MD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/03/18

What a show. I'm a young artist and I've been feeling pretty adrift, and this show came along at a time when I really needed it as a source of encouragement and mentorship to help me make sense of the creative life and keep going forward.

I want to love this podcast but I am so frustrated by it. In the Jennifer Koh interview, for example, we never even hear what instrument she plays to cause those injuries. With Shara Nova, she and Helga were getting down and dirty with musical terms that I don't know. Just play a few measures...Read full review »

I've been a fan of Helga's music and stage presence for a while now. Her empathy sings out, in gestures small and large, as if from an inner anthem that we so desperately need to hear and share. Her credo is informed by openness and a recognition of the transformative magic that artists...Read full review »
