Welcome to the Poetry Ponderings Podcast. Prior to launch I have taken the time to introduce myself and the drive and motivation behind this project.  The idea for the Poetry Ponderings Podcast was generated through a desire for meaningful contemplation of writing, coupled with ongoing awakening of self-awareness. I will interview guests weekly with a piece for you to ponder and immerse yourself fully into. I look forward to where this journey takes us and thank you for listening.   Join us on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1731822790177505/   Instagram @poetryponderingspodcast   Email: connect@insightism.com   Podcast with Heart details: alanahelbig.com     Music courtesy: "Sneaky Adventure" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
