Big Skies and Small Ponds...with Drew Baxter
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
