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.

Kat Jaibur is an Intuitive Coach and Channel who works with women and men worldwide, helping them to be truer to their essence, their hearts, and their souls.
She "downloads" messages from 3-5 spirit guides and offers practical, wise coaching advice. A coach since 2005, a student of metaphysics since 1987, and an award-winning advertising copywriter for over 30 years, Kat offers the
perfect blend of spiritual connection, divine wisdom, and real-world life experience. Her clients describe her as profoundly insightful, compassionate, warm, relatable, and funny. Her one-to-one sessions are often called "life-changing." But Kat wants you to know she's still rooted on planet Earth: watches Survivor, binges on Netflix, walks dogs in the rain, is learning to like mushroom coffee, and often forgets to fold the clothes in the dryer.
