Description
Big Skies and Small Ponds… with Drew Baxter.
Come in… sit a while.
This is a storytelling podcast with quiet reflections, real moments and the sort of thoughts that tend to arrive when life slows down.
Each episode is a chapter - a small pond holding a very big sky.
Stories drawn from real life — from memory, from people and from the moments that shape us.
Some are gently humorous, some are thoughtful, and some may touch on grief, love, and what it means to be human.
There’s no rush...just come in and see what you find.
Warm wishes....Drew Baxter

But mention a little place called Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, and something changed. In this chapter of Big Skies & Small Ponds, Drew re...

The simple kindness of being seen. In this chapter,Drew reflects on the people whose kindness shaped his life, an unexpected conversation with Hollywood actor Brendan Fraser, and a youthful encounter that taught him something rather uncomfortable about himself. A gentle reflection on the kindness we receive, the kindnes...
Send us Fan Mail What happens when we find ourselves beside something far bigger, older or wilder than we are? From childhood dreams of dolphins inspired by Marine Boy and Jacques Cousteau, to whales, redwoods, Yosemite and Monument Valley, Andrew reflects on the creatures and landscapes that have made him stop, stare and feel gloriously small. In the Company of Giants is about wonder, travel and changing understanding — about learning that admiration does not mean ownership, that awareness...
Send us Fan Mail What do we actually remember — the moment itself, or the story that has grown around it? In this chapter, Andrew begins with a mysterious childhood “strickle”, a runaway reindeer and a possibly indignant encounter with a circus clown, before reflecting on the curious way memories change as they travel with us. From forgotten voices on old tape recorders to the smells, songs and ordinary moments that suddenly carry us back in time, The Strickle is a gentle reflection on how me...
