Welcome to Magic and Mountains: The T. A. Barron Podcast! Lifting our hearts, one story at a time — Inspiration from nature, heroes, and creativity. In season 2, we journey far and wide to the minds of courageous and visionary leaders like Jane Goodall and Isabel Allende, guided by the uplifting wisdom of T. A. Barron. We explore the wonders and inspiration of nature (as well as the challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss) and the power of young people to make a positive difference in our world. Plus, you’ll hear T. A.’s amazing stories from his three decades as a wandering bard — as well as his views on the wonders of “light”, as we can find both in the stars and in the eyes of a loved one. Season 2 episodes are released weekly on Mondays beginning October 2 and will run through mid-December, 2023! https://tabarron.com/podcast/
