Circles | Edges

by Aaron Tabacco

Circles | Edges is a reflective podcast exploring the patterns that shape our lives and the moments when those patterns invite us to pause, choose, and change. Hosted by Aaron Tabacco, the show explores two fundamental dimensions of human experience. The circles are the rhythms we move within each day — habits, relationships, seasons, rituals, and familiar ways of being. The edges are the thresholds: moments of transition, boundary, and decision where something new becomes possible. Recorded in an old-school, late night talk radio style, Circles|Edges blends solitary reflection with live listener presence. Each episode opens with a contemplative monologue and expands through real-time questions, shared reflections, and moments of collective inquiry. This is not a guide or a set of answers. Circles|Edges is a place to slow down, listen inward, and sit with the questions that shape who we are and who we are becoming; of deciding the life and world we truly want to inhabit and then find the strength to make it so. It is a space where we connect to feel seen and heard, human to human.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

That voice! Aaron has such a calming and soothing voice, and helps us find a peace that is often elusive in this day and age. He works as a healer in the nursing profession, and is infused with that healing energy, and it transmits through his voice, thoughts and reflections. I find Circle Edges not only a good listen at bedtime, but at any time in the day where I just need some space and recovery of my soul.

VCOhm · Jul 2026

For minds that race at night, this podcast is the antidote. Aaron’s voice communicates a sense of calm and safety as he navigates what it means to be alive in today’s time and space. You get the sense that Aaron is having trouble sleeping too, and needs this podcast as much for himself as he does an act of service for us. Beautifully produced with excellent background instrumental. Listening to it reminded of childhood lullabies, drifting into a liminal state feeling warm and safe. Aaron’s voice is the soundtrack to the drift into dreaming. What a gift!

Cooldiscoal · Mar 2026

So often today, where we look for places in media to focus our attention, whether it be social, TV, or film, it has become a form of escapism. Looking for “something“ to shift our attention from the daily grind of life in today’s upside down existence. This podcast is very much, not that. There are so many choices today that it feels like searching for that one face in a sea of humanity on a busy street corner. That face that says it’s all going to be OK. Circles | Edges feels like finding that face in a crowd. Aaron Tabacco has the uncanny ability to make me feel like I’m the only listener on Earth, like the episode was made just for me. He’s thoughtful, measured, and dispenses insight into seemingly invisible ways of being. Aaron‘s podcast feels very intentional. It feels like 5 PM. It feels like your favorite cup of morning coffee. Like a stroll through nature or tea with your best friend. Time very well spent. You can watch/listen to any number of media. You would be hard pressed to find a podcast that invites you in, gives you a pillow to rest against and offers you safe refuge the way that Circles | Edges does.

Erik Molzen · Feb 2026

I put this on while winding down for bed and did not expect to be crying and calming down at the same time. Aaron creates a space that feels incredibly safe and human. He has this way of talking about hard, real things while also bringing so much light & hope. I felt completely seen. My nervous system softened. My mind slowed down. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just need somethinggrounding, this podcast is a gift.
