Wise Talkers Podcast Home



Launched February 2024, the Wise Talkers Podcast is the home of six conversations from decades past when I was conducting live radio interviews.

In these episodes, which I am calling Legacy Editions, I re-purpose each original dialogue with a new introduction and epilogue to provide context to the previously recorded live interview. I provide some background on the guest and the interview, and discuss its relevance today.

In five of these episodes I am the interviewer, and in the other I am the guest.

You can also listen to Wise Talkers on Apple, Spotify and many other podcast directories.

Future Plans

I intend to conduct new Wise Talkers interviews in the future, just when to be determined. As of now, in December 2024, most of my time is being devoted to a new business project I got involved with in September. I’ll update this site periodically to keep you up to date on future plans.

In the meantime, I invite you enjoy one or more of my Legacy Editions above. They are slowly but steadily gaining a growing listenership, especially the two episodes based on my interviews with Gary Snyder and Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Which is not surprising, given they are the most well-known of my interview guests.

And I’ll even say it: They are good interviews! Extremely interesting and even eloquent guests. The interviews were popular when I conducted them on live radio, circa 1980, and they are being appreciated now again as podcast episodes.
