“I love this podcast Brian and I thank you for all of the hard work that goes into creating new content week in and week out. I just want to say it is top notch! While every episode interests me greatly in one way or another (especially your musings on coffee!), your interviews with two people in particular really moved me and I have listened to each one several times. First, the interview with author Marc Dion was just excellent. He stirred my emotions with his vision of the brotherhood/sisterhood of pipe smokers coming home after a long day and finding a time of deep peace smoking a pipe - ‘that place where we all meet.’ I thought that was just beautiful. I cannot wait to read for from Marc. Second, your interview with Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite was just so rich. As a pastor/theologian myself, I particularly resonated with the spiritual aspects of smoking a pipe that came through in his words. Pipe smoking is for me first and foremost a spiritual endeavor, as well as an art form, so what a treat to hear a spiritual poet speak to its meaning in his own life. I just loved it. Thanks again for your podcast and all of the work that obviously goes into it. It is a true highlight of my week and many other hours as I listen to ‘old gems’ from the past 500 episodes. Sincerely, Mike MacMillan, Florida”
