Practical Steiner episodes on SPOTIFY

Practical Steiner is a podcast addressing the question “What might Steiner say?” about this or that topic that is of interest to me, the host. I am a fairly new Steiner student and have felt in these past three years that finally, after decades of wondering about the “why” of many things, I have finally come across someone with comprehensive knowledge enough to answer many of those questions.

My podcast is conversations - the more candid and honest the better - with various people who have been studying at least as long as I have and who have taken up Anthroposophy, in one measure or another, as a way of living. My over-arching interest is not in presenting “expert” opinion/interpretation of Steiner’s body of work but rather lies at the interface of the guidance from Steiner’s books and lectures with how someone lives their everyday life.
