Craig Constantine and Ron Decter discuss the importance of moving towards dialogue rather than a typical Q&A format, making podcasts more engaging. Ron's podcast, Simplest State, invites you to explore the mysteries of higher consciousness and the potential of the human mind. They also discuss the struggle of describing one's show in a few words, highlighting the importance of clarity and coherence in conveying its essence to potential listeners.
Simplest State is for anyone who's ever felt that there's something more to life than the mundane, that there's something beyond the daily routine of life or someone who's ever felt that the power of the mind is something much more than we have harnessed so far.

--- Hello, I'm Craig Constantine. 👋
This is Podtalk. Short conversations with indie podcasters that are not just about podcasting, because I like to take the scenic route.
In each episode, I talk with podcasters about their shows, experiences, what they've learned, what motivates them, and… well, pretty much everything related to podcasting from the indie creator's point of view.
I hope these episodes spark ideas and conversations for you, and lead to new ways of looking at this wonderful art of podcasting.
I appreciate your time and attention, and I don't take it for granted.
--- Your support makes a difference!
I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I’m limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I’m doing. Every dollar really makes a difference.
Podtalk has remained free and ad-free and alive thanks to generous listeners like you. I have no staff, no assistant… it’s just one maniac with a keyboard. If this labor of love makes your life more livable in any way, please consider contributing.
--- Thank you!
My personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. This podcast is just one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by my website https://constantine.name/ for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more.
