Inspiration from nature, heroes, and creativity.
I’m thrilled to finally reveal the return of Magic & Mountains: The T. A. Barron Podcast for season 2! Come along with me as we spend time with magical guests like Jane Goodall and Isabel Allende. We’ll explore the wonders of nature and the importance of heroes in our world today. Plus, I’ll take you back in time with stories from my life as a wandering bard, and we’ll return to the present with deeply personal stories of inspiration and light.
Season 2 episodes are released every Monday beginning October 2 through mid-December, 2023!
The complete first season of Magic & Mountains is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.
