The Drop the Needle Podcast
We started the DTN Podcast Site with a simple idea: to create a podcast that could change people’s lives. I believe that if by listening to the podcast, we can impact one person’s life, we have accomplished our mission. We began with a three-pillar approach; which include mindsets and modalities, spirituality, and of course, tying things together, is the power of music. Join us as we celebrate the soundtracks that resonate with our souls and foster a sense of joy and nostalgia. Our guests are not just experts; they are passionate individuals from the spiritual and healing communities, embodying a pay-it-forward mindset. They generously share their wisdom on integrating spirituality and compassion into every aspect of your life—be it at work, home, or beyond. Are you ready to be inspired, challenged, and transformed? Tune in to The Drop the Needle Podcast and discover how powerful ideas, compassionate actions, and the magic of music can reshape your world.
